Hi everyone
This is my 5th pregnancy all my labours have gotten progressively shorter the last was 3 hours and 20 minutes from first sign of labour to delivery - I went from 3cm to 10cm in an hour and pushed while the midwife was in the room without her even knowing it was happening
The hospital I am booked in at is 45 mins - 1 hour away dependant on traffic. I am worried about the logistics of getting that first sign of labour and sorting someone to come and childminder the others (childcare is about a 20 min drive away if they're at home)
I am terrified of giving birth in the car I don't particularly want a home birth and I don't think it would be safe for me either due to the potential bleeding etc from it being the 5th.
Does anyone know if they will consider induction around due date? I've always gone a minimum of 5 days overdue.
