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.
