Anyone have any experience with this? I'm not sure what to do. My husband works all day so I am home alone from 3am until 6pm, sometimes later. If my water breaks or I go into labor do I call 911? Do I drive myself in? What's the protocol? My MIL was going to bring me but she thinks she is going to be there for the delivery which NEITHER of us have told her she could so I'd rather tell her as late as possible that I'm there. I never thought this part through... If I go by ambulance won't they bring me to the ER instead of L&D? If I drive myself in and have my car parked by the valet how do I retrieve it? If I go alone to the hospital and can't walk by the time I get there how do I get out of my car and up to L&D? I'm a little anxious...
wat i recently learned its also illegal to drive while in labor since u and other drivers are greater danger because ur in labor and contrctions can be too strong @bengsmom10
yeah like @love021414 said call they can help you, get you to the hospital and let L&D know your on your way, they can help time contractions etc....
It's best to find a ride or take a cab when in labor. You can talk to a friend or family member and let them know you will call them if you're in labor. Early labor also can go on for many hours and not always vital to go immediately! Ambulances are for emergencies and life or death situations :), you can always call them if it's an emergency. (Like the baby is crowning or you're having severe bleeding)
