24 hour doctors services:  Most doctors will have a 24 hour service they subscribe to.  Either ask your doctor or if something crops up in the middle of the night, their answering machine should provide you with the number to call.  Mums and babies tend to be a priority and a number of the services do bulk bill... don't be afraid to call them!
