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
