Has anybody had an elective c/s on the mid north coast of nsw had an elective c/s. if so where?

Hey kita!! Glad you finally joined!

Did you try the Royal North shore hospital in St Leonards?? Thats where I had my elective c section and I didnt have too many problems at all getting one.

Really hope you find a hospital that lets you have one.

its a public hospital. im having one cause i had a really bad tear with ds so im not risking doing further damage. just asked my ob and he had no arguments whatsoever. Hope you find out what you need.

OMG, someone else in going to manning base, i was going to start a thread but thought no way would anyone be going there!

Can i ask you j_ordi04, do you do shared cared with a gp in port or an ob? or are you private with own ob?

if you dont mind me asking what Ob?

hi, i actually live just outside of taree and i did see my local gp to begin with but i see my ob every f/night now and everything is running smoothly so i haven't gone to my gp in a couple of months. My ob is dr walkom, he's great and is very nice, he's in taree and is a popular one.
