Your hospital
How far away is your hospital that you plan to deliver at?
Mine is 45 minutes drive and I keep having nightmares of giving birth in the car or being stuck in rush hour traffic and people seeing me in labour lol. Also I have to walk up stairs in order to get to my labour ward which sounds pretty horrific.

But it is rather worrying. I havent told the hospital I was moving further away cause I was afraid they would tell me to bugger off to another hospital.
EEk!!!!!!

I told my fella If i got into labour he wont be able to drive me there because he wont be able to park and he'll get a parking ticket!
When he finished laughing at me... he told me if i go in to labour a ??50 ticket will be the last thing he is worried about and he is far more preoccuipied with getting me to hospital! haha... I'm sure at that point i wont be caring about a parking ticket either!!
was with my friend who was in labour a week before i got pregnant... and she lives much closer to the same hospital and I was with her untill she was having 2 min contractions before the ablance made an apearance and we had just started to get her down the stairs towards my car as she begged me to take her... lol visions of me hanging out the window while driving screaming NEEEEeeeeeeee NOOORRRRRRRRRRR trying to get draffic to move! haha...
although seeing her in labour so close to the birth has put my mind at rest a little cause all though she was in pain and there was a few tears she was very quite and calm!! xxx
There is one slightly closer to me but it is a dump and wouldn't even take an animal there. My husband thinks he is a rally driver anyway so hopefully he will be on top form when I go into labour and get there in 30 mins

Hubby seems a lot less concerned than me as he seems to think baby will def come at the weekend and if not he will def come inbetween rush hours, which although sounds lovely I'm not sure bubby will be that cooperative.

I wont be able to handle things on my own. What is the likely hood of them saying I can have an amulance come get me? I know it's not recommended, but I will feel so much better knowing that I will be cared for straight away.
What to do... And we don't have a car. I will have to ring a taxi anyway. OMG I am finding myself stressing again
HELP!
My fella will most prob be at work but lives 5 mins drive from where we are now - he comes home for his lunches - but thinking were moving shorty so wondering how easy it will be then? augh!
Luckily for me my hospital is only 10 mins away but the maternity ward is on the 5th floor and i wont go in lifts lol
I really wouldnt worry about getting there or anything if it is your first child, becuase it usually takes around 12 hours to go through the motions and your contractions increase with time so its not too bad at the beginning.
My contractions started at 2am on the 29th and i didnt go into hospital until 8am on the 31st with my son, so i really wouldn't worry.
Hope this puts your minds at reat
I am foreign. So i have no family here. Onle know one friend that lives in southfields (sw). And of course my bf. Not even his mum is around. We are moving from west kensington to Finchley. I'm giving birth at queen charlotte at hammersmith hospital. (In Acton). My mum (In south africa) said to call her when I think I'm going into labour and said she will keep talking to me until my bf gets home!!!
never easy is it?
How can these hospitals not have lifts...crazy!!
Am going to do a tour of the ward soon, so we know where we're going - we got a bit lost on the 12wk scan coz the signs were so pants!!

The hospital where i will b going is bout 5-10 mins drive away, the only thing is my oh works nights and my last 2 labours started through night only my 1st labour only lasted 5 hrs 45mins from start to finish and 2nd one was even shorter even tho i did end up needing a emergency c-section, so i am pretty worried bout this labour!! lol
Hope every one is well.
