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....
Awesome to know. thank you @love021414
I the ambulance bring you i believe they will call in and the hospital will be ready for you
I'm driving myself.
I have just decided when I'm in labor and have to go to the hospital. I will be the one driving that hour and a half to get there. I think my husband would freak out too much bless his heart and he is at work all day anyway. And my grandma.... Heck no. Everyone complains I drive like crazy. I'm actually super safe. No one has rode with her. I love the woman but she drives like a lunatic. I seriously am scared to death she will wreck one day. And even more when I'm in the ca...
So my water just broke and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and I'm home alone
Sooooo Athena has to have the surgery 😥😥😥😥 I've been bawling I'm a mess ! I can't believe this is happening to my poor child ! Why ? What did I do that caused this ? I'm seriously on my knees bawling ! As much as I tried to prepare myself, I wasn't ready to hear those words . In 3 months she will have her cranial surgery & I pray to God she has a easy & speedy recovery ! Please pray for my baby ladies ! She really needs them !
Bad car wreck
So yesterday I was in a bad car accident. I was sitting at a red light and a lady was texting and driving and she hit me going 45 miles an hour because she was too busy on her phone to realize there was a red light. I had whiplash and I'm veryyy sore today. Well I have a rental car now and I'm having a hard time driving. I freak out every time I come to a stop because I fear the car behind me isn't paying attention. Anyone ever deal with this before?
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
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)
