Thankyou everyone for you honest responses, I will definitely take on board everyone comments and the choices your would make . It is a difficult question really and I was completely fine driving when my waters broke with DD, but I would not have been able to drive when the contractions started.

So leesa once I have called my OB and DH you'll be next for my escort

The Boss bought new tyres for his Kluger Monday, as he would be the one if I was at work because he has leather seats

Hopefully should it happen again, that I will be with someone already and it won't be an issue, or I will already be at the hospital I do have ambulance cover, something I would not go without and if need be will use it.

Pandora ~ From when my waters broke to the first contraction it was 45 minutes-ish and I had no pain, not even a niggle or a twinge, they they started at 5min appart and very quickly 3min, so I went straight into established labour, and was 7-8cm by the time we got to hospital, so definitely not a lot of time to work with, and my OB is pretty sure this time it will be quicker

So do I have to raise my right hand and promise to call and ambulance then

Thanks everyone!
