  • Chin up, good luck.
    Enjoy the birth for now, thinking back to our kids, I dont think the wife could fit behind the wheel at 37 weeks.
    I'd consider cancelling now/book for 4 weeks after perhaps.
  • at least the 2 serious werent for technique, ie not braking or hitting the kerb etc. should breeze it next time.

    So sorry to hear that hun................I failed one of my tests (yes I had many) for doing what you did and not going into the bus lane!

    You will pass, and soon you'll be able to drive your little one(s) around!

    Congrats on the bump too! :)
  • Thanks for all your replies, I feel a bit better about it today, onwards and upwards and all that.

    I have until 8th Feb to cancel and still get my money back so Im going to leave it for a little while then if by say 5th Feb or something I really cant drive safely/fit behind the wheel/etc then I will cancel til after baby arrives. Just that I really really really wanted to pass before he/she arrives.

    If I decide to keep the test date then I'll just have to keep my legs crossed between 8th and 12th Feb and hope to god I dont go into labour lol.

    Thanks for the support

  • Well, take 2 tomorrow!

    Had a lesson on Weds and Im still fitting behind the wheel comfortably and can still reach the clutch and do manouvers etc. So I guess we'll see, I didnt think I was nervous but I think I am a bit eek!!

    Good luck for tomorrow and try not to be nervous. Stay calm and you'll be ok :D

    What time is it ?
  • Trying not to think about it but cant help it lol, not sure this amount of nerves is good for the baby!

    Test is at 11.11, instructor picking me up at 10.10 for a lesson beforehand. Might go to bed soon and attempt a decent amount of sleep in as I tend to wake up at least 4 times during the night at the moment. Breathe.....

    Just try to think its just you and a mate going on a drive, my sister did that and she passed last May. She was really nervous too but the driving examiner talked to her and it relaxed her loads :D

    Really hope you do it I will have my fingers crossed for you

  • Best of luck to you both (you and baby bump lol) It'll be fine i'm sure. I failed my first, 2nd test the car packed up on me half way through and the 3rd I should have apprently failed as the examiner had to ask me to pull over and put my seat belt on, but somehow managed to pass. This was 13 years ago though lol (eeeek, what nerves will do to you eh?)

    It'll be fine, remember to post back and let us know how you got on x
