When i was pg with DD i had the choice of 2 hospitals one was 10mins away and the other was 30mins away and the one that was 10mins had a bad reputation so we decided we'd birth at the hospital 30mins away as it had a great reputation.

Where we are atm there is only 1 hospital which is 5min drive away and if we fall pg while living here we will birth there as i couldnt fault them when i had my D&C at the beginning of the month. We would have to drive 45mins-1.5hrs away to the nearest hospital if we didnt birth at the hospital in town.
