| Thanks for the replies ladies.
Ms Cheerful can you tell me what happened to hubby at PM. Is the usual story of HK where there is several women in the prelabour ward and then hubby can join you after when you are in active labour? How many women were in your prelabour ward? Were the staff open to a birth plan and supportive of your feelings?
Did you have a delivery room to yourself? What was it like.
Sorry about all the questions but it is all a bit confusing -
Unfortunately (or very luckily) I got spoilt with my first birth in Aus and went to a birth centre where there was minimal interference from Staff, a big tub etc. I know I won't get any of those luxuries here from public but want to make sure the experience is good as the public system gets.
Breastfeeding help is also a big issue as I actually had to go back to hospital for 1 week when bubs was 6 weeks due to bfeeding issues. Not much fun with IV in my arms and possible surgery trying to look after your baby at the same time.
Thanks again for all your help any comments would be great.
At the moment I am still thinking whether I should push for POW or QE but have to consider travelling distances as well.
