Getting to the hospital when your partner does not drive.............. advice and thoughts

[vixenwasp]

I am sorry if this is an extremley stupid question, but i'm expecting my first in 4 weeks time and although I drive, my partner is a learner (insured on my car). How will this effect me getting to the hospital when labour starts?? What would you do? He suggests that if he is at work then an ambulance should be called, but i'm not very thrilled about that want to be nice and relaxed, not arriving at the hospital in an ambulance if poss! Can I drive myself there? hehe or are the early stages likely to last a while, giving us time to make arrangements?

thoughts appreciated, its these kind of things that play on my mind.

I got a taxi, my waters had broken so I sat on a bin bag

Good luck, hope it all goes well.

That looks gorgeous shitemum. Although possibly less so when you are in advanced labour...
