Thinking about getting myself some refresher driving lessons, and then buying a cheap car as I definitely need to start getting out and about, and it's going to be so much harder with little terrors to look after!3

I passed my test when i was about 13 weeks preg with DD1, still had bad morning sickness and the test was at 9 am :mad: luckily, had a lovely lady doing my test, and she was so nice when i told her i had to be sick and let me pull over nr the woods to get out for 2 mins So much easier having car with kids! xx

you can do it. You just ahve to have faith you can. see if you can get an energy drink or soemthing. If you really are struggling then go to the hospital so they can help take some pain away and you can get soem sleep.

Good luck!

Me too! I passed my test over 20 years ago and haven't driven since but it's just going to be impossible to do anything with a 3 year old and a baby without a car. The thought is just so terrifying though, I keep finding excuses not to but I've really got to bite the bullet & get some reccommendations for an instructor.

I'd rather do it before the birth so really need to get a move on...

Gilly maybe just go back in or phone them and tell them you're exhausted, and then at least you can have some gas and air or whatever other pain relief you're planning to have. As mentioned, have some energy drinks, sugary sweets, anything to keep yourself going. But mention to hospital that you're exhausted.

Hi Ladies,

I've been stalking this thread for months now but this is my first post! first off, good luck Gilly!
About the question of the midwives saying if you can talk through the pain ignore them I'd say! I went into labour on Monday afternoon, and rang the hospital at 1530 to say my contractions were 3 minutes apart and should I come in. They told me that as I sounded fine, I should just have 2 paracetamol and wait a few hours before going to the hospital.
Husband got home at 1600, and I decided that actually things were progressing quicker than expected. Not to put too fine a point on it, I then said I just needed the loo before we left for the hospital, and before I knew it I had given birth to Timmy!:eek: :jHe actually landed in the toilet lol. Luckily my husband was on the phone to triage at the time, so just dropped the phone and passed him to me!!
Midwife turned up 15 minutes later and told us our 8lbs 9ozs bruiser was perfectly fine, just maybe a bit shocked by the experience.
So the moral of the story is, if in doubt, it's best to head in to the hospital!!
