Hi ladies. I just realised that I still not made any plans how to get to King's when my labour starts. I don't have a car or anyone who could take us.


Is there any cab companies around east dulwich /forest hill who don't mind taking woman in labour to hospital!?


I remember i took cab 4 years ago when was in labour but don't remember which cab company was that.


Thanks.

Here?s a tip I was late to the game in learning: if you go to and fro Hospital in a black cab (order on Gett) then you can wheel your pushchair in and won?t require a car seat.


You can always call a firm in advance and just check if you?re concerned. Legally, they can?t refuse you! I put one of those bed pads down on the seat, to be polite more than anything else.

MrsTP that's terrible advice. Please don't call an ambulance, unless it's absolutely an emergency(e.g. unplanned home birth or someone is unconscious, or bleeding badly). Ambulances are not hospital taxi's, and if it's too uncomfortable to sit in a car then the same will apply to an ambulance. If it's too late for a taxi (i.e. baby is on its way out) please do call 999 and they will send a community midwife & a paramedic to you. Please don't use the ambulance service as a free taxi to hospital.

I'm not patronising you, I'm chastising you for giving terrible advice. It's still terrible. If you're not coping please DONT call an ambulance, get yourself to hospital in the manner you have planned. Ambulances are for emergencies only - most labours are not emergencies (appreciating there will always be exceptions such as those I mentioned in a PP).

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
