I'm due on the 18th Oct and decided to replace our old oil boiler with a gas one for the baby coming so I can have instant hot water and better control of the heating.
My issue is that the install date for the connection is the 7th and the plumber can't come out to the 14th since he's busy before then...
If the baby decides to come early, what would having a newborn baby without having heat/hot water be like for a few days? People did it in the past so obviously we'd survive, we'd still have a cold water connection and a kettle and could get some electric heaters if necessary. We have no oil at the moment so don't have the heating on anyway.
The only big downsides I can think of are the noise, and I wouldn't want the plumber to be faced with the sight of me trying to breastfeed, but I think I'd be able to stay shut away in a room while he does the rest of the house.
Anyone reassure me/warn me off?
