Mummas who delivered at RBWH, where did u/ur partner/support person park when u were rushed into labour? I've heard parking is ridiculously expensive and ofc I have no idea what to expect during birth so just want to be mentally prepared

It is expensive but parking can only really cost up to about $50 for the whole day and worth parking nice and close, I was lucky it was late ish at night so we had a lot more parking spaces free and I walked from the parking to the entrance. Best thing is to try stay calm with it, and if you're too far into labour try calling ahead and someone can meet you at the entrance of the hospital

My student midwife said if needed print out a piece of paper before hand saying something like 'in labour -be back soon' so if your person needs to drop you off they can park in the drop off zone out the front, walk you in and when you're settled with your support team they can move the car to an actual car park. Your person may need to walk a little bit if you want to avoid the fees and park in the surrounding streets or the car park just down the road from the hospital. Hope this helps 😊

@Sabrina that's what we did and it worked well!
