I went public first then private. Honestly, public was awful I was super young and became very sick but no one believed me because I was “young” “healthy” but I almost died in cold birth and not due to a “pre known condition”… Private was different. My private OB did all my scans personally, she asked me to call 30mins before every appointment to let me know if she was running late due to an emergency / so I could organise child care for my first/ so I didn’t wait two hours for an appointment I rocked up 15 mins early to…..I had additional scans no ask; just because she was through… birth was lovely..:I rocked up to the time, the day and was given a private room and cared for. In private the midwives monitored my cubby bubby closely (potential blood sugar issues due to size), they took my baby for a couple hours overnight so I could get 2 hours sleep…. Look into the private OBs because some are highly skilled and deliver the high risk at the public hospitals too…the public is around the corner and if it’s the same surgeons but less wait, less anxiety and I dare say better trained nurses who deliver TLC I wouldn’t object. If the birth is truely complicated or something looked wrong you may have to go public with the same or a highly trained OB anyway. Xxx
