Hi girls,
I have a question for you. I am going to be at St Thomas hospital (in london) for labour/delivery, it's our local hospital, and it's a 15 mins walk from our home, so very very near as you can see. Here's what I'm wondering. I've heard that hospitals insist that new parents bring (& show!) a carseat in order to take baby home after he/she is born. However, we don't own a carseat, because neither of us drives, so obviously we have no car. I'm wondering what your suggestions would be. My partner insists we should put the baby in his pram & walk him home (!!)...he rather fancies the idea of walking down the South Bank with our new baby. I on the other hand see this as a bit ridiculous, with me just having gone through labour, and the anxiety of taking a brand new baby out in the streets! I know it's only a 15 mins walk, but still! Any suggestions? Are there taxis that include baby carseats & which we can order?
Many thanks in advance. I know it's a bit of a silly question, but still, it's kind of stuck in my mind
