Carrying maternity notes in late pregnancy - necessary?

[Plateofcrumbs]

Quick advice needed!

I'm 3 days off due date, going out for dinner etc tonight about an hour away from home, 1.5 hrs away from our hospital (but close to other hospitals)

Would you take your maternity notes with you? I really don't want to be bothered lugging them about. Worst case scenario and I suddenly go into rapid labour and end up at a different hospital without my notes, what happens?

I think there was a lot of concern about the security of personal information. It would make so much more sense. I wish it was something we could opt into if we felt comfortable with it.

TAKE THEM WITH YOU

I took mine everywhere with me in the last 4 weeks or so and I'm glad I did!

I would take them with you. I took mine everywhere with me and it's a good job I did as I got sent into hospital at 38+5 with high bp and was induced the next morning due to pre eclampsia
