I've just found out I'm pregnant. I'm in shock, we've been using contraception very carefully so it really has come out of the blue. We are not flush with cash since moving to Sydney from the UK, and we got rid of all our baby stuff before we shipped our things here! Doh!
I've had a search through old posts and it looks like I will not pay for antenatal care with Medicare and the reciprocal agreement if I opt for a public birth? How do I book in with the hospital though? It costs me $50 to see the GP (even with the Medicare rebate) so I want to avoid making appointments with her if I can.
Any experiences or advice would be very helpful. I am trying not to descend into panic!
