I think one of your greatest ideas was around setting up "materna-taxis". I'm 6 months pregnant, and living in central London have no friends or relatives local to me who could drive me to hospital when I'm in labour.. Apparently, most of the local cab firms won't take women in labour in case they make a mess of their seats, so my only option might end up being geting the bus! (as long as its not the middle of the night!) I won't call an ambulance unless I'm about to actually gve birth there and then.. but, it is a worry that us pregnant ladies don't need. Oh, and the advise given by moth the hospital (a dedicated maternity hospital), and the "NHS Guide to Pregnancy" book we're all given? Call an ambulance!!!
