How close to your due date would you travel?

Just wondering, how late am I safe making a 2 hour train journey? Would it be really idiotic to go from York to Leicester anything less than a fortnight before the due date?
Don't want to end up having the baby in the wrong place - bit inconvenient for dh! OTOH I want to keep working as late as I can.
(This is my second baby, last one was spot on time.)

i certainly wouldnt drive anywhere, but i took a 90 minute train journey and traipsed round the shops, having several hot chocolate stops, and 90 minute train journey back home again, the day before i delivered dd2!

as long as your phone is fully charged and everyone knows where you are you will be fine

you could even take your notes with you if you are worried

I'm already taking my notes with me when I go away, Nailpolish, and I'm not due for 11 weeks!

Thanks for being a voice of reason
