Maternity Hospital Taxi Service

Does anyone know if the coombe offer some kinda taxi service? Neither me nor my partner drive so I’m a bit worried about how to get home after. We only live a 20 minute walk so 5/10 minute drive me I doubt I would be able to walk after giving birth and we would have our bags.

I'm sure the person at reception can call you a cab. Free now app is quite reliable and fast. I like how when you order the cab you can message the driver too. Make sure you have baby car seat though for taxis x

@Trang yes, definitely need a carseat, it's mandatory for everyone to be discharged from the hospital - you have to show them you have it.

@Trang Yes you'll need a car seat even for a taxi. We don't own a car but still had to purchase a car seat since the baby will need to be transported by car on occasion
