Hello hive, just found out I am pregnant (surprise!) with EDD on 31/12. I just arrived in Australia from NZ (NZ citizen) so I dont have enough waiting period for a private health insurance to qualify covered maternity care.

I am hoping to find a private obstetrician (for continuity of care) and I am wondering what would be the rough cost for the overall antenatal care + delivery + postnatal care? I am looking into Frances Perry House.

Chatgpt also mentioned potential private in public - private obstetrician in a public hospital as a public patient. Just wondering whether this is feasible? If so, does anyone know which obstetricians offer this kind of service in Melbourne? Thank you so much!
