That there are hidden benefits to being under MMH. My midwife told me today that if you are under MMH supervision you get 3 nights at Birthcare in a free private room. Woohoo! Being crazy has it's bonuses after all! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Oo that's great! We had the private room free too cos I birthed there and it was sooooo good. I think it helped alot in my recovery just having my own space.. and close family and friends could visit and not feel in the way. It's so good that they look after the mental health of mums in that way. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

That is awesome Emma! You can think of it as your own wee 'hotel' room away from those busy gremlins!!!

Oh, lucky. Wish I was crazy too **hides from flying objects**
There's no birthcare here in Wellington but I'm sure it would be used if there was - hmmm, maybe a niche in the market. ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

Good to know there are some perk's Emma.
We don't have anything like that here in NP it would be so good. I so hate the hospital. There is stratford, but not keen to be all the way out there no one will visit. ------------- Deborah Mum to:
