kerry.finlay Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 When I say 'saw' I mean I came out of the main entrance to a huge hub-bub and lots of nurses around a car with porters covering all the windows in towels. Poor, poor lady. You could hear her screams. I was in tears (I blame the pregnancy hormones. That or the fact that I'd had my glucose tolerance test and hadn't eaten for 14 hours!)It all happened rather swiftly and by the time I'd finished my phone call (I turned my back to the whole drama so I felt like at least I was giving her a litle privacy!) mum and baby were on a trolley being wheeled in to a huge round of applause from the crowd. Can you imagine?Gosh - wonder if she's one of our Autumn ladies?!I hope I make it a bit further into the hospital :-/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13208-saw-mum-giving-birth-in-car-outside-kings-this-morning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth_Baldock Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 WHAT?! oh my god. I'd have cried. Good for her, and her baby. What a birth story!

buggie Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hmm, isn't unusual - had to run out to a couple of cars before with babies being/having been delivered outside A&E!!A v good friend had her baby in the carpark at Kings, but it was about 10pm in the evening so not as much of a crowd.Am sure having had your GTT beforehand hadn't helped your emotions Kerry - hope the result was ok x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13208-saw-mum-giving-birth-in-car-outside-kings-this-morning/#findComment-359741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 my friend gave birth in a moving car on way to hospital - it was her 3rd so she'd been a little too relaxed about labour!

redjam Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 A mate of mine gave birth in McDonald's carpark on the North Circular - pure class. The poor girl was on her way to hospital but they were stuck in a hideous traffic jam so that was the first place they could turn off and park up. Shockingly the McDonald's staff were all aware of what was going on but no one so much as offered her a coffee afterwards!

millsa Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 my friend was having a nice home birth last winter and suddenly nobody could hear the baby's pulse, so she was rushed to hospital. It took a bit longer than usual because of the snow - and she gave birth in a lift at kings! put me off having a home birth forever...
