Husband and I don't have a car at the moment as he works in London and I walk to work so we don't really need one, but people are starting to act like how could I have possibly got pregnant without the use of a car for getting to and from hospital for the birth! Midwives started when they kept recommending I go to miles away midwife led units when the hospital is about 1 mile away, and were shocked when I said I didn't drive. Does anyone have any experience of getting to hospital in labour in taxi's? I do have friends who can take me but just in case! Also coming back, we have a car seat to put in other peoples cars, would that be acceptable to the midwives? Again, people act like I'll not be allowed to take my child home if I don't have my own car!
I also am annoyed that people claim I won't possibly cope without a car when I have the baby, but that's another whinge!
