Armed with a list of 15 or so names and numbers of OB's that work out of either Peel Health Campus or SJOG Murdoch I was pretty confident that it wouldn’t take long to find a private OB and make my first appointment. Boy, was I wrong!
Firstly I realised that many of the OB’s did not take on new patients, meaning that they only saw woman that were on their 2nd or subsequent pregnancies. Other OB’s were booked up until April next year. Initially I wanted to book with one of the OB’s which was recommended to me by Dr Thompson but after all the phone calls I realised that I would be lucky if I could get a OB in the area of my choice.

On my 12th phone call I hit the jackpot! I am now booked in to see Dr Molloy at SJOG Murdoch at the earliest appointment of 7 September 2009.
