So I finally packed my hospital bag
My friends have been urging me to pack my hospital bags for the last few weeks and I keep telling them that going into labor is not like in the movies. I can pack my hospital bag once my contractions start because I’m going to have HOURS to kill at home before it’s actually time to head to the hospital.
Although, my doctor told me a crazy story today.
His patient called him yesterday once she reached 5-1-1 i.e. contractions are 5 minutes apart, 1 minute in length, for at least an hour. He told her to get in a taxi and head to the hospital.
Twenty minutes later he was paged. He called the husband immediately whose first words were ‘I can see the head’. The doctor asked where they were and could they make it to the hospital. The husband said they were in a taxi and yes they could make it, then a moment of silence, and then……..the sound of a baby crying.
Can you imagine?!! In the back of a taxi!!
