I'm 40+4 today and trying to work out what to do over xmas. This is my 2nd pg - DS is 2.10 - and I knew well in advance with him that something was going on (prelabour), but then full on labour was only 4 hours.I don't feel like anything is going on at the moment.
So the question is do we travel 1 1/2 hours by train to my parents house for a big family xmas which DS would adore? Or do we stay here near the hospital where I'm booked and wait? If I go into labour at my parents there are probably 3 hospitals within about 40 mins drive but I've never been to them.
By xmas day I will be 10 days overdue but really keen to avoid induction so planning to hold out till 42 weeks at least. As I'm writing this it sounds pretty stupid to travel but I'm just no good at waiting and drives me mad to think that we have to put everything on hold when nothing is going on.
