I'm due july 4th...during the summer, my step son stays with us. My husband usually has to drive around 16-18 hours round trip to get him and bring him home to us. The soonest he can pick him up would be the 20th, two weeks before my due date. I don't want to tell him he can't go, we have very limited time with his son as is, but I am nervous about him being gone for that duration of time. My youngest is 10, so it's been awhile since I've done this, but my last two labora were very quick. My daughter was less than 5 hours, and my son, less than 3 hours, start to finish. Any advice or suggestions? My step sons mom will not drive him to us, doesn't even meet halfway and no other form of transportation is an option :(
