Why pay the money to see an obstetrician?

It does cost a lot of money to see an obstetrician but in seeing a private obstetrician you are choosing to have your pregnancy and labour managed by a highly trained doctor. Seeing a private obstetrician does not guarantee you a normal easy vaginal delivery but your obstetrician is a specialist who is able to deal with all aspects of your pregnancy and all aspects of your labour and delivery.  Although no doctor can guarantee to be on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year, seeing a private obstetrician gives you far greater continuity of care than is offered in the public system. In addition you know that you will have a specialist caring for you and not a doctor in training.
