I am 31 weeks with DC2, and we are in the process of relocating to the other end of the country (with a 13 month old...). Due to problems selling our flat, we are now having to live at my parents' until after the baby is born and they are a 20-25 minute drive from the hospital. With my first baby, I went from 2cm to delivery in 2 and a half hours, so it was pretty quick (and v intense and overwhelming...felt quite traumatised, esp as the MWs hadn't believed me...sigh). I am really not keen on having a HB at my parents' immaculate house (!) and would feel v strange about it. However, I am terrified of not getting to the hospital in time. I plan on going at the first twinge (although realise I could end up back and forth with false alarms etc) but am still scared I could end up with an unplanned HB. Has this happened to anyone, and was it scary? The thing that is most scaring me, is that DS needed to be whisked away and given oxygen and have his airways cleared - he looked decidedly iffy upon arrival, and I don't know what would happen if you were in an ill-equipped house. The only reassuring thing is that a MW lives next door but one to my mum, although obviously I realise she may not necessarily be in, or willing to come round! Any thoughts?!?!
