    we went home after 4hrs with dd2 and then home from hospital with dd3 after 2hrs...they seem so small in the carseats. depends on why you were being transfered i guess. if bub is unwell then it would be on the bed or they call a baby ambulance that would have a humidicrib in it (youd have to be near a big city for this) or if you were unwell i guess it wouldnt be safe for you to hold the baby......

    lets just go with...you wont be needing that!

    We had the carseat in from 36 weeks (I was determined I was staying home from 36 weeks even though my MW was feeling pretty strong about 37 weeks ).

    I guess if you're transferring for PPH then you'll be pretty unconscious and it's just a sucky situation all round so it makes not much difference that you go in the ambulance and baby goes in the car to be reunited ASAP. If you transfer for a mega tear then it could wait a little (like a few hours surely?) and then you can sit/lie downish in the back with baby (after someone takes out the toddler seat). I'm an over planner

    Hope you feel better soon hoti.

    I was getting impatient at 39 weeks stoked. See above- I even thought my baby might come at 36 weeks! He came at 41 weeks on the dot and I was so thrilled by then
