Watched a video earlier about a girl giving birth in the car on the way to the hospital. The baby would not stay in. The thought of that terrifies me. have any mommas had this happen to them? How did you deal with that?
My hubby works a lot and my roommate is never home and family is all 20 minutes away and the hospital is an hour away.
Learn your boy, that will help. From early labor to delivery was 2 hours for me and I'm a ftm. If other women in your family had f fa st lbor, it's possible you will too. But how thebaby is aligned plays a big part.
Yeah in the end that was my idea, but some people prefer to do the early labor at home. I would have liked to, because when you're in the hospital if you aren't progressing as fast as they want you to they give you things to speed up labor, which I was okay with, but I would have liked to relax at home more too.
@their.bomb.ass.mom, see I would rather spend the extra time stuck at the hospital than not make it in time.
I understand, it's a fear we all have! in total I was in labor for 17+ hours with my first and I even slept through my early labor so I had plentttyyy of time, usually you do. I wish I would have stayed home longer but I was so nervous I wouldn't make it in time.
@their.bomb.ass.mom, Oh good. That is comforting. luckily my hospital is only ten minutes away. But if it happens while my fiance is at work it will take him awhile to get home so it worries me.
the hospital told me I could of had birth in the car if I waited any longer to get there
Although I can't say from experience, BUT usually those videos of women having their babies in cars and such it's their 3rd or 4th child, because labor is usually a lot faster after your first. My hospital was about 30 minutes away so I was always so nervous I wouldn't get there in time, but we had plenty of time. I can say don't worry yourself too much! most of the time you are able to get to the hospital before active labor. 😊
And I over worry and then catch myself. I've already convinced myself twice that I was going into labor and I managed to calm myself down before freaking out and going to the hospital. It was all in my head. It's like my body is the boy that called wolf. I'm just afraid one of those times the wolf is gonna be real but I'm not gonna believe it and then have my baby in the car
