I also live around 60-80 min away from hospital, and with my last 4 my waters have broken first, as soon as that happens we get in the car and go, only because I have had 10 and my labours are only around 1 hr long once the contractions start, even if your waters break first you should still have enough time to get to the hospital, if I were you, I would leave once the contractions have started and are regular, if you start just contracting first then I would leave when they're around 7 min apart and are regular, keep in mind that they can slow down when you go from one pl to another, so they maybe regular at home, then slow down once your in the car
the baby is really low and i'm 2 cm dialted already and I had my son last and they waited until it was almost push time so i'v felt felt a contraction but with an extreamly high dose of patosion on top of that and it was so so painful ... So I so don't want that to happen again. Is there any way I can get myself to dialate to 4 when it's close to time so they keep me in the hospital or is that really just not possible.
My water never broke...dont wait for that! It sounds weird, but you will honestly know for sure a genuine contraction...and each one gets more painful, head as soon as you are sure, my last labour only lasted 4hrs and because I was induced first time I thought it would take ages so I only just made it to the hospital! My daughter was born 20mins after I arrived! Hoping this one goes as smoothly! I was 4days overdue before I had either of my kids...16 days till dday and hoping not to go over again, I've had enough!
i live a hour and 10 minutes from the hospital so I really appreciate your advice !! did you make it to your due date or were you a little early?
I went into natural labor with my son and lived an hour and a half away. My water broke and I most my plug. Not a fun drive but everything was fine. The baby does not come shortly after the water breaks so no worries you will be fine. Once you lose the plug or water breaks head in.
