At Mareeba the women are not seen by an OB. They are supposed to
have just one visit sometime with a Dr to check they are normal
healthy but that does not always happen.
All charts are case conferenced with the supporting OB and
suggestions for care are discussed if there is anything out of
the ordinary in their history and it in then that they are
classed as fit to birth with us or needing to go to Cairns.
