an hour away from hospital

physedgirl09 · March 2014

Hey everyone I have a quick question. My husbands parents live over an hour away and we go visit them on sundays. When I get closer to my due date, should I tell him we shouldn't go there because what if something happens and im like an hour and a half from my hospital?? Thanx

My work is over an hour away from my hospital and I drive here everyday... I'm 39 weeks.

I'm in a similar situation as my parents live over an hour away. I'm 35 weeks and don't go right now just because the drive is extremely uncomfortable for me. I think that's a personal call for you based on what will keep you the most comfortable. I'm sure your parents will understand either way

This exactly. And to think no matter what happens my son's daycare is back next to my home so either way I have to make the commute. You will do just fine. If you don't want to go don't.

Well my hospital is an hour away with good weather and traffic so I don't see that as a big deal. Go ahead and continue your visits.

yeah our hospital is am hour commute as well, but I wasn't too worried even with this being our first. from everything I have heard and read there will be signs to look for, and usually after you get there things don't always happen right away so you can probably make it

at least I hope this is me remaining calm... I have a lot of anxiety so I am trying not to let this freak me out, but most friends say I will be fine and have time. If anything I will freak out for a false labor, and be a week early to arrive and get sent home LOL

It may be an hour away from your hospital for you, but if you have an emergency you can always call an ambulance.

You will be fine. My house is 45 minutes from the hospital and my work is an hour and 45 minutes from the hospital. I drove from work to the hospital and delivered my daughter later that day. Just don't go on a Sunday if you are starting to feel contractions or not feeling well closer to your due date.
