Hi, I'm sure this is a stupid question but I don't know who else to ask, so please don't laugh at me if it is! I'm pregnant with my first baby, and am confused about how I get to hospital when I go into labour. I drive, but my dh doesn't. He's having lessons at the moment but if the snow continues and he has to keep missing lessons he won't have passed before my due date. If he can't take me, what do I do??? I'm guessing it wouldn't be wise to drive myself (foot on the accelerator + contraction = recipe for disaster!) but we don't have family locally who could take me. Do I ring an ambulance, or would this be inappropriate? Would a taxi take me? If I was a taxi driver I don't think I'd want to let a woman in labour into my car, and I'm worried about if I made any kind of mess in the taxi! Really hope someone can advise me on this, my plans were all sorted before this stupid snow messed them up, an if weather reports r to be believed it could continue til new year! Xxx
