I personally wouldn't go to a hospital right now if you don't have to. You could check on Facebook marketplace or Facebook free groups or nextdoor app or other places like that. Also you could put out an ISO or Wanted. Good luck!
Is there a maternity line you could call for advice?
Could you call your GP for advice via phone?
There is no guarantee that going to a hospital would result in them giving your crutches, they might just tell you to rest it and do some knee strengthening exercises, so I wouldn't chance it without getting some advice first off.
I would consider getting a knee support or kinesiology tape (you'd have to look at how to apply this correctly)
My doctors isn’t open at the moment as that’s where my appointments were and they have all been moved to the local hospital
