I was told the same thing. Labour is not seen as an emergency - unless there is something wrong, or it is progressing very fast. So if you are in ordinary labour you are expected to make your own way there. The labour ward will be your first contact by phone and they will advise you when to come in, so you should call them and not 999.

LOL Louise hun you would need an ambulance if you go into labour unless something is wrong, dont worry it rarly progresses that quick. When my SIL went into labour my brother took her out to buy some DVDs and they went to Mamas & Paps to buy a car seat! this was after her waters had broken and contractions were regular. Who was it on this site that went for dinner at pizza hut whilst in labour?

Emergency services are pushed enough without taking labouring woman to hospital. If you or your OH dont drive its suggested that you make arrangements with a neighbour or friend to drive you in once your hitting established labour. But tbh chances are once your contractions start you will be sitting round a fair bit before you decide to go in to hospital. I was having contractions 5 mins apart for about 20 hours before I decided to go to hospital and get checked out.

I had my MW come to the house the first appointment with maddie, thats cause i was at the "witches" house and was quite ill after that i have always gone to hospital ...

With my history and problems i am high risk consultant lead care, that was established att first appointment so i never actually see my MW as i am under 2 diff consultants at warrington.

You will have bloods taken, tested for iron levels, liver salts etc basically full routine bloods which will also test your immuine system ... and also to see if you will require anti-D depending on yours and Stu's blood types.

Louse, even when i was PG the first time and was on my own i know the last thing you do is dial 999, you labour will not progress that quick hun tis your first i was in hospital when i was induced but you always have a back up ie friend, taxi etc ....
