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?
