In Adelaide it is less expensive to birth with a private midwife than our "top" obs, costing parents upwards of $1,500-$2000 easily plus the expensive necessary "special" ultrasound they recommend and any other costs involved. Not to mention the pedeatrician's fees. Our midwives fees were the best money we ever spent. Megan

This is out of pocket that they can't claim back from their private health insurance. Some of them are having to pay a $1,000 fee (non claimable) on top of their consultations and birth fee. I'd much rather pay that to a midwife anyday! That is a really depressing website to visit! Jayne -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
