With DD2 I just knew I was ready to leave for the hospital. I got there and without feeling rushed or anything and had her within an hour of arriving. DS I wanted a water birth so I went in a bit earlier then I felt I needed to to make sure the bath got filled this time. Both times I new things were getting close to my babies arrival and that I needed to be were ready. Even with DS there was that thought of wont be long and like you that would have been my time to go to hospital point if I was still at home.
I was induced with DD1, but then in no rush with DD2 - was happily doing the dishes while people were trying to shove me into the car. DD2 was incredibly fast though, so I basically when my hind water broke with DD3 we headed in. With the benefit of hindsight I would have stayed home longer - the little miss then took from waters breaking at 8am until almost 5pm that night for me to be getting anything even remotely close to a decent contraction, but we live an hour away so I wasn't taking the chance of a roadside delivery.
