Hi everyone,
This may not be relevant to US/UK Mums (I'm not sure) but in a lot of Australia we have to go to the maternity unit that our suburb is "zoned" into. It's a fairly recent development and I'm very disappointed as I've always planned to go to the Mater Hospital where I was born because it has an outstanding reputation but is out of my zone. I'll be referred to the Royal Women's Hospital which I've heard is also good but it's the government public hospital and doesn't have quite the same reputation as the Mater.
My doctor did say to me if my Mother or close relative lived in the Mater zone I could use their address... The thing is my OH does have a close cousin in the zone but I'm not so sure that would count as a close relative so I didn't mention it to my doctor. I am considering discussing with OH's cousin and using her address for the referral. Has anyone done this? Or think it's particularly wrong? The only complication I can imagine is OH's cousin will need to send or send photos of my mail from the hospital.
