In NSW the annual Mothers and Babies Report is available on the
government website. It makes very interesting reading, not just C/S rates,
but inductions, spontaneous labour rates, 3rd degree tears,

Kristy, if you want to be private, how about
swapping to a fund like australian unity, IOR, NIB, NRMA who cover midwifery
care? then you could have the fantastic midwifery care with some of the hospital

costs
keep going and help those we can...
