Would you do this? "BIRTH-CATION"

edited October 2015 in June 2016 Moms
I am in a little predicament with scheduling prenatal care & making plans to deliver. We just moved to Pittsburgh from Florida...I had 2 AMAZING delivery experiences with my midwife, whom I adore in Florida. The hospital was incredible. I am talking---nurses rubbing my feet, lactation consultants at each boob (haha!), never-ending praise and adoration showered upon me by the whole staff like I was the only woman who ever gave birth. The palm trees and views of the ocean outside my window weren't bad either! I just cannot say enough about how much I LOVE this hospital and my midwife in Florida. 

I already have a bad taste in my mouth from my prospective options here (I know they have a hard act to follow)...It was sort of a joke at first...but am getting more serious about just planning on renting a house in FL for the 6 weeks surrounding my due date (we have friends that would probably either let us stay for free or give us a really low price) and just having my baby there instead. 

What are your thoughts---is anyone else contemplating birthing across the country? hahaha!

    If that is something you are able to do, I say do it! Just make sure to check all the little thing, like if your insurance will cover out of state and what not. Keep perfect records on what has been done at your regular visits, and make sure that there is a doctor there who is comfortable jumping in at the end line that so everyone is on the same page, but heck yeah! Do it!

    I actually know several people who have done it. I also know of a some military wives that come back to their hometown to have their baby with the doctor they know and be with her parents etc. 
    I think if you can and you want to, then why not!! go with whom you trust and you're comfortable! 
    I echo PP about checking especially with insurance. 

    Let us know what you decide!

    Take me with you!!! That sounds amazing!!! Personally my family would be pissed if I was giving birth away from travel distance from them but it sounds like you have people there?!

    Absolutely! Do what you makes you feel most comfortable. As long as all your ducks are in order with insurance etc, I think it's a great idea!

    I say go for it! As long as your insurance will pay :-)

    P.s. Is it sad that being in the hospital for two days after giving birth is considered a mini vacation to me?! :-p

    That sounds pretty amazing! I say go for it, as long as insurance will cover it! There's nothing better than a great birth experience. 

    @Jason&Erin82507 Um I kind of feel the same way...mostly because I loved the food I got to eat at my hospital! (However, I did have a minor breakdown when they brought out ice cream for me when I had to go nurse my baby and I didn't have time to eat it before it melted.)
