| What do you mean by that? There is no law saying how many visits you need it depends on your circumstances but generally its monthly up until 28 weeks, then fortnightly until 36 weeks, then weekly until you give birth. Thats a pretty rough guide though as you cannot predict what will come up. |

I think its just over 5k? (not sure though) and I think you pay a total "package" not per visit ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

| I think my OB was $3600? and that's in Auckland. There were 4 of them, you met them all throughout your pregnancy and then one of them was on call each night. |

| I've heard generally $5k - Unless you come under the timaru DHB in which case having an obs as your LMC is free. |

I've also heard fees are between $3-$5k also.
Plus as an aside....every time I see your name Genevieve it keeps freaking me out 'cos it's my name and I keep wondering what I posted that I forgot about!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
