yeah, if it were a true emergency the ambos would just take you to the nearest public hossy equipped for neo-natals.

however, i was in a similar position where my DH was a 3 hour drive from home when my waters broke, it was a totally normal thing and not an emergency, but it threw me into a mild panic i must say LOL!. If anything can be learned from my experience i would just recommend to have a back-up plan in place (ie. a friend to drive you in or to call a taxi). if labour does start and you are on your own, call a friend that could be supportive or get on the phone to hossy and let the delivery midwives talk you through the first few moments where you get your head around the fact that the baby is on his/her way...i did this and it really helped to ground me.
