I still have a few weeks but jw..have any of you mommas driven yourself to the hospital in labor?

They recommend not to the pains are sudden and could cause you to involuntarily do something like press accelerator instead of brake

I was wondering the same thing!

@bre_bresee, I haven't but I expect I'll be either 45 min to 20 mins depending on when it happens. If I'm at work I'll have to since I work out of town

ahhhh :( I feel like if they're bearable I'm gonna try to, my boyfriend isn't licensed & my hospital is 10 minutes away meanwhile my mom works over an hour away @mimiz

@marie_xo, I feel like it's the easiest

Oh honey are you going through it now??

im worried nobody will be home to take me !

I would honestly risk the 10 minutes and have him do it rather than being in danger idk I'm nervous for you 😩

yeah I'm only 10 minutes away from my hospital vs my mom would be an hour away if it's during the week/day @becca0465

plus I heard ambulance bills can be ridiculous 😓 @mimiz @becca0465 @marie_xo

Can you take a cab? 10 minutes wouldn't be much

no not now! I still have a few weeks before the big day, I was just curious if there were women who drove themselves fine. guess we'll see! 🙊 @mimiz

Girl 🙄 you will not be wanting to even think of driving in labor babe lol especially if you're in pain you may prefer to run to the hospital

@marie_xo, that's what I'm anticipating..😮 my mom would be the only other person able to take me and she works over an hour away versus 10 minute drive for me lol

@mimiz, I'm so worried about that! I hope I can catch tell I'm in labor early enough before it gets too painful😳😳 whatever happens happens though 🙈

My mother in law drove herself to the hospital with both boys and both times when she got there she was already 8cm.

just saw your other comment @mimiz I would but there are really no cab services where I live 😑😑 rural area lol

@bre_bresee, ambulances can be more expensive than a taxi even. If your ten mins and you catch the labor early on you might be ok but it's really going to be an in the moment decision if it's too much don't wreck call for an ambulance hopefully it won't be bad

okay thank you! I hope I can be like her and bear it lol @answeredprayer16

Oh my my

even though he doesn't have a license does he actually know how to drive? if so driving 10 minutes won't be bad tell him to be careful so no one gets in trouble.

@becca0465, yeah at the time it's gonna be clear whether or not I can, I'm hoping to tough it out though lol worst comes to worst I will call an ambulance though I guess 😐

noooo he's never driven more than like 20 feet lmao I would not trust him to take us in such a delicate situation 😂🙊 @aniyahsmommy_0623

Just gonna see how it goes and either be able to drive myself or end up calling an ambulance, thank you though ladies 😀😀 I been stressin about this for a few weeks now @aniyahsmommy_0623 @becca0465 @mimiz

My best friend tried to when she was in labor. She only made it to her grandmas house right down the street cause she kept having to pull over to pant and try not to throw up from the pain. I would not suggest trying to drive yourself. Set up another plan in advanced, ask your doctor for advice. Wouldn't want you getting in a wreck 😖
