If I have to call an ambulance?

I'm a paramedic in Vic, not sure of NSW regulations but they are usually pretty similar to ours... There are no hard and fast rules regarding transporting accompanying children in the ambulance in Vic, but there is certainly a preference not to.

That's interesting nickle, the crew I spoke to said there was a rule -no children. I guess it's much easier for them to say that than, it's at our discretion and we don't want to because we don't think it's safe. If they say its a rule, perhaps they get less arguments.

Kazzo - you're right, I'm sure nothing will happen!

when i had the PPH at home 5 weeks post partum the ambos were also adamant that they couldnt take my 5 week old with me. it made sense as i was all woozy and the paramedic said that it would not be safe. so DH had to drive with kids and meet us there. TBH i couldnt really imagine kids actually fitting in the ambulance lol...all pretty teeny in there once you and the paramedic are in there!

5wk old I can understand. Who would hold a newborn if the mum was unable to when been taken to hospital?
