getting to hospital

[nickita]

im 40 weeks and had a show this morning how do i get to hospital if i dont know anyone with a car and the taxis wont take me if im in labour [angrey]

Ring for an ambulance? Don't tell the taxi firm you're in labour?

i feel quite inbarrased ringing for an ambulance incase im not ready to go into hospitel

Is this your first? Any signs other than the show? Anyone with you?

A show doesn't mean you are in labour. You can have a show weeks before labour starts. I wouldn't go to hospital unless you are having regular and strong contractions. Why don't you contact the labour ward for some advice?

yeah i wouls wait until u know ur having contractions and then ring the taxi....i cant really see someone not letting u in if ur in labour

where are you?

Don't think you can call an ambulance unless in really advanced labour. They will laugh at you.

I went by taxi - as did my 2 sisters.
