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 :-/

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

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!

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...

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
