Do you guys send a thank you card?

Yes, I sent my midwife a thank you card with an enclosed picture of Xander.

Thank You



Uh, no. I paid 10% of their $3300 bill. I think that was plenty.

I've always given my midwives a small gift at my 6 weeks
discharge. We don't pay directly for maternity care here
(but do indirectly from our taxs) so i like to give a little
something personal. I also am good friends with my midwive
so we exchange cards at christmas and keep in touch anyway.
It was different when I had Lydia as she was a c/section and
it was the first time I'd met any of those people and didn't
feel it appropriate to give them anything, even a thank you
card. I did take a box of chocolates into the post natal
ward nurses station though for the staff to share as I was
there for 5 day's and 'some' of them were very sweet to me
and helped me a lot.

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

Nope. It is their job. They get paid to do it. I did verbally thank
them though. I also took the baby in when she was a couple of weeks
old.

However, I am in the public health system in Australia. I don't have
a specific doctor.

Our story was a bit different... We had a horrible
diagnosis at 29 weeks... We scheduled a fetal MRI
to confirm or deny the diagnosis, but before we got
the final results, we gave the presents we were
going to give at the birth to my obstetrician and his
two assistants who were fabulous in helping us. Yes,
they are paid to work for us, but their attitude was
always helpful and they spent so much time far and
above the call of duty.

After giving birth, we gave them each a bottle of
bubbly wine (Korbel, I think). We gave the ob a
birth announcement and a couple of photos of him
with the baby, too.

Because the NICU nurses were so fabulous during
Pillbug's 5-day stay, we also wrote a letter to the
nurse administrator thanking the nurses for everything
they did for us.

I'm sending a card with pic to the team who looked after me in the
early stages when miscarriage was a possibility. The midwife unit got
lots of biccies from us after I went home but will probably get a
Christmas card and pic of Jack to say "we're doing well, thanks for
getting us started".
