Urgent help required please help

[BuntyCollocks]

I'm at charnock Richard services and I had to shut the door to let someone pass. Keys in centre console DS 21 months locked in car. Green flag keep saying they'll be 10 mins. I'm 8 months pregnant. Sat here in tears.

Police say all they'd do is smash window - not an option, too far from home.

Please help even if its hand holding. I'm in absolute bits. He's fallen asleep thankfully. Oh god I'm shit

Am freezing ATM - but DH worse as he's been stood out there like a trooper for an hour and a bit.

This is when I wish you could have a stiff drink in pregnancy.

Did the staff not bring you a drink or anything?

Sorry Notquite thought the police may have equipment. Or they could grab a passing car thief.

OP - I can be there in less than ten mins?

To be fair to staff they have been excellent - thy offered me a drink when I came in howling but am now between outside checking on DS and DH and at the Starbucks phoning the parents and green flag so they might not even know I'm still here. They took reg so that if over 2 hors wouldn't get parking ticket

Hopefully you're in your car now. Un MN hugs.

I've done similar, though no child in the car but left keys in a car when attending a funeral, cue AA arriving during the wake.

I did something similar outside church a month ago, the AA man got into the car without breaking the window, He had a hydraulic pumpy wedge thing that forced the door open a crack then he was able to use a grabby stick to get the keys, he was there really quick, I was a priority. You'll be ok, the LO probably won't even notice this has happened. Try to stay calm xxxx We all do daft things sometmes.

So glad they are there. You could see your little boy, all is fine!

We've all done similar things. I once locked DS in the house

Oh sorry, only read first page

We're IN

If GF have arrived it won't be long now. Sounds like you and DH both need a hot drink - can only offer a virtual one for now but have a sit down and warm up as soon as the car is sorted and you have given DS hugs (that you probably need more than him)!

Phew for that x

Ooh.

Thanks everyone for the hand holding and offers of help.

Massive unmnty hugs to you all

:-) Glad you are sorted!

Safe journey x

Yay! Hope you have a safe journey home

Glad you're in. Safe journey.

I locked myself in the back of my car the other week . Child locks on both doors! Unfortunately I couldn't climb into the front of the car because I had had a back operation 3 weeks before and simply wasn't flexible enough!

I had to knock on the window at passers by and ask (loudly) that they open the door for me. I got some very odd looks . My 4 year old son, in the car seat next to me, was laughing at me.

Glad it's sorted for you now OP

Waspie that's both [grin and at the same time.

even

DH locked me in his car a fortnight ago. It was horrible. And he wasn't answering his phone.

Sparklingbrook I had a minor panic when I realised what I'd done but luckily it school chucking out time so I could share my stupidity with the rest of the school mums and dads and didn't have to wait long for someone to rescue me

Justfabulous that's not good I think I would have been trying to find something to break a window with after a while. How long were you locked in for?

I love Mumsnet .
