There is a private French midwife qualified to be with you in the delivery room, at the Mathilda, Adventist or Queen's mary.
She can follow you with a birth plan and make sure your wishes are followed.
If you want her details, PM meEdith

Yes, the public hospitals can be very supportive of the need for natural childbirth. For my LO's birth at QMH last March, they followed my birth plan 100% and were attentive to it from the moment we arrived. After my daughter's birth she was put right on my chest and except for 10 mins each morning for bathing, she was with me ALL the time) The experience was about as natural as you can get in a hospital setting!

i was always told that a midwife (from annerley) can attend a public hospital birth, but the issue is having both her and your husband present as they only allow one guest. not 100% on this one, but worth asking since it sounds like you would want both, not either or.
really hope this doesn't add confusion. i could very well be wrong about this. best wishes.

Don't worry about confusions, we are here for grabing&giving info, any info/idea is welcome
Actually, a midwife from Annerley told me that public hospital won't allow a private midwife during labour. It's a point I totally understand! I even don't understand how a hospital can allow this unless they know the person before and checked qualifications themselves, for security reasons.
Best wishes for you too
