When my labour started my contractions were 5 min apart. We have a 30 min drive through windy bumpy country roads and it was HELL. I couldn't get comfortable and the pain was intense. I felt every single bump in the road.

There is no way I would leave it, voluntarily, to that point again let alone doing it with a 1.5 hour drive ... but then I had my baby in just under 2.2 hours from the first contraction.

I would rather get there early and walk around the grounds, but thats just me.

good luck
