Hi Barb, We had a baby last year in July and had a great experience. I agree with the other posts about the mums group-very helpful. I used to live in Castle Cove -not too far from Roseville. I went to leon and Shaw and still do for pilates class in Neutral Bay. A fellow American recommended to me. They also have a mums and bubs class you can go to after you have the baby.
Good luck with your baby. If you need anything, let me know.

: Hi Barb,
: I am in another part of Sydney to you, but
: have had both my boys here. The support is
: excellent! When you have your baby in the
: hospital they will set you up with a first
: visit from the early childhood centre near
: your house (every suburb/area has one). The
: 'baby' nurse will come and visit you at home
: when you get back and help you with any
: questions you have.
: After that you are supposed to go visit her
: every couple of weeks when your baby is
: young. They can help with things like
: breastfeeding questions/difficulties,
: solids, sleep (or lack of!), measuring and
: weighing,and they will tell you when the
: mother's group meets at the centre. It does
: feel a little strange to go along to a
: meeting of new moms that you don't know, but
: it is fun to swap stories with others in the
: same situation. All the babies in your group
: will be born all within a few weeks of each
: other, so you will be going through the same
: stuff at the same time.
: I agree with the poster below - Australia
: really is a great place to have babies - so
: much free support!
: Good luck - when are you due?
