Suddenly starting to worry about this. If I were to be induced again or to have a scheduled c-section, ds would go and stay with SIL (about 45 mins drive away, but opposite direction to hospital). All well and good.
But if it were to happen naturally, I don't know what to do with him, particularly if it is in the day when dh is at work (would take him 1.5 hours to get home or to the hospital, assuming he is even in the country). What would the hospital do if I took him with me?
Labour with ds1 was only 5 hours, so I might not have much time to play with.
MIL is 3.5 hours away, my parents about 7 hours (and they are all the last people I'd want around).
What do other people do?
