57. What if I don't make the hospital in time?

We have all watched many a movie where a labour goes really fast and the baby is born at home or in the taxi. This is termed Born Before Arrival or BBA. This podcast covers why a BBA may occur, what to do if your urge to push comes before you get to the hospital, any potential risks and what you and your support person can do to help manage the risks. If you want your question answered, please leave your message on speakpipe to be chosen for Dr Pat to answer:https://www.speakpipe.com/growmybaby LINKSJoin our pregnancy and birth courseJoin our getting pregnancy course Instagram  @thekickpregnancypodcastFacebook  @thekickpregnancypodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
