yes, I am with you girls too - 2.15 mins for first, 1.15 mins for second so who knows what this one will be. Epacris, I am with you on worried about getting someone to watch DD and DS in a hurry, we have no family here, I also panic, DH won't be at home and won't get home quicker enough to get me to the hospy. I said to him "I am going to sanitise the laundry and be prepared for a homebirth" he said, "please don't do that to me" - he is such a wimp with all things medical....Okay, so no I havn't helped you one little bit have I ? I am seeing what other responses we get. I like the idea of having the car prepared with blankets, towels, etc, just in case too. I remember last time, even when I was in full-on labour, I had no idea how quick it would all happen, I was mucking around having a shower then DH was putting on his best white shirt and looking for a little toy to take for the baby (rolls eyes) and I was in the driveway having full on contractions waiting for him to drive me to the hospy. We got to the hospy 30 mins before DS arrived. Good luck xxxx
