My first 3 were pretty much text book with labour times ,around 12,8 and then 6,,obviously it would be an inconvenience but is there anyway it would be possible for you and family to stay somewhere closer to the hospital near due date,you do hear lots of stories of babies being born on the way to hospital and bubs and mum are fine ,happened to a friend of mine and she always says her husband was the most shaken ,out of them all
