How far a drive is the hospital from you?

Hospital I'm considering is a little far from me, I'm a little worried.

But in practicality first baby takes a while, right? And I would have at least an hour after water breaks, right?Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have to travel 45-60 minutes. I moved out of my hometown, but was not ready to change doctors

We have about a 20-30 minute drive, UNLESS we have to go during evening rush hour. I can easily see it being an hour with traffic. But, I'm hoping I'll be able to keep an eye on the time, and be able to work around it, i.e. leave when contractions are 6-7 minutes apart instead of 5, or something like that.

Re: How far a drive is the hospital from you?

I timed it with no traffic and it was 30-40 minutes. I ain't gonna lie, when I went into labor, I was stressing out big-time because I felt like we were really far away. I got there in plenty of time though and DS came quick............about 3 hours later.

My SIL delivered at the same hospital and they had to leave during rush hour traffic. I believe my FIL took the shoulder a good part of the way there. Chat Icon

I would not deliver anywhere else though.

In traffic, over an hour. Usually without traffic an hour.

I wasnt ready to switch dr's when we moved 4 years ago and still havent switched. I could deliver closer (at stonybrook) but they tend to save that (at least at my office) for higher risk patients. It's ok because i like St. Catherines alot.
