All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
For childbirth though we’re definitely driving to hospital here in Europe unless something went very very bad. Plenty of time between the start of the party and the conclusion of it. It would be poor taste to use ambulance for something actually not urgent.
What about for those who don't have a car?
For something rare like a pregnancy, I'd call a taxi if I don't have anyone else who can+wants to drive us.
Back when I didn’t need - didn’t had one I called family to drive us. And then for a few days I took the bus as usual. But that was some 20yrs ago ;-) Now I would take an Uber-like service.
