What am i suppost to do ?!?! PLEASE HELP! I need to get to a hospital, and I cant't drive there alone! Should i have a friend drive me?And have another friend pick my kids up from school??

If it were not so dramatic it would be funny. Get on the phone, call an ambulance, call a friend. Pull yourself together, pack the bag if it's not already packed and go the hospital. You have 3 (THREE!) kids and still don't know how it work. How many more till you learn smth?

call a friend or someone to get the kids from school and watch them until a family member or your hubby can get there to take care of them. Call an ambulance, they are trained for this kind of thing. You wouldn't want to have the baby in the backseat of a friends car would you? You would rather have an experienced paramedic deliver the baby if you don't make it to the hosptial on time. Call your husband! He needs to get his butt home to be with you and then to take care of the kids. You should have had a plan in place before today! I know this is probably scary, but take a deep breath and try to calm down. You may also want to have someone meet you at the hospital to help you durring labor just in case your husband can't get there. Don't forget to call the schools and tell them that you are in labor so your friend will be picking up the kids and tell them what friend it is. They may not let the kids go home with just anyone without your permission. Good luck!!

You are an idiot to be sitting on the computer asking this question if you are truely in labor. Furthermore long ago there should have been a "plan" made for a situation like this. Yes call your friend to drive you to the hospital, call your husband make him come home, have another friend pick up all your kids but make sure you call the schools to inform them of who will be picking them up
Christ I cant believe you sat on the computer to ask this question and youve already got 3 kids and are confused now?

Wow...just wow. I really have a hard time believing that you really don't know what to do.
Call an ambulance and a friend. Tell the friend to pick up the kids and that you are enroute to the hospital. Call the hubby and tell him what's going on. He may be able to get home sooner than you think. Chances are that this kid will come alot faster than the other 3.
Good luck, you're gonna need it with 4 kids.
Ed D....absolutely LOVE your answer. :D

Do the same thing you did when you had your other children.Get someone to pick up the kids and go to the hospital via however you can get there. What are you waiting for. Your husband shouldn't have gone that far away with you that close and I think you should have planned this situation in advance.

Let's see.....Call 911?...no no that's too easy..Hmmm go get a neighbor?....No they'll think I'm faking.....Call my kids school and tell them there's an emergency?......No I dont want to be a bother.....I know, I'll go on line and ask a half million strangers for advice and wait for them to stop laughing at me long enough to TYPE thier answer. That's the best idea!
How exactly did you have those first two children? Did you move into the hospital once you found out you were pregnant?
Since your home...could you make me a sandwitch???

Didnt you hava a plan in case this happened? Call someone to pick up your kids and another to take you to the hospital. If you have no one to take you to the hospital, call an ambulance. Call the daycare and let them know that you are having someone pick up the kids, then call your husband and let him know what is going on. Good luck!

Seriously. You can't figure this out and you are a mom??? YES. Have a friend pick up the kids from school. Then call your doctor. See if you are advised to come in. If a friend can't take you, an ambulance can. Good luck!
