Long Ride. :/

How far away is the hospital from your house? The 1 I'm going to is a little over 30 minutes away. -_- I really hate that, because I know I'm going to be in so much pain. It'll probably be longer w/ traffic lights & all, ugh. 30 minutes isn't very long when you're not in pain, but that won't be the case. There's a hospital that's right down the street, but their reputation isn't so good. Why must the ambulance be so expensive? Their job is to care for the hurt/sick.

The one I'm going too is an hour away. Not counting traffic... the one near me doesn't have a labor and delivery :(

I wanted a home birth the first time around but we were living in an apartment where we didn't really think the landlord would approve, and my husband was really uncomfortable with the idea anyway. He wasn't so sure what would happen during labor and whether or not everything would go smoothly. Now that we've had one perfect textbook med-free labor with no issues he's completely on board - and we own our own house, so we can do whatever we want!

Well usually i could get to my hospital in less then 10mins (not far from the house) but they recently finished their new building & will officially be open before my due date. Soooo now i have to travel to the other side of town, still not completely far but it'll take at least 15-20mins to get there. unless my bd is driving, then we'll get there in less then 10 lol
