Hi there!
I am 100kms from our hospital (which happens to be an hour) and dreaded the drive in!!
I was preparing for a roadside birth.... just in case.
My plan originally was to head into my parents (who are 15 minutes from town) when my contractions got to around 7 minutes apart. Well.... I kept trying to tell myself I wasn't in labour. LOL
I ended up calling the hospital at 10am (my contractions had started at 4am), when my contractions were 5 minutes apart lasting about 45 seconds. I wasn't overly concerned that I was going to have my baby anytime in the next hour, but I just thought I should see what they said. I was asked to go in.

I got to hospital at about 11.30, and had DD at 6.08pm. The ride was ok... nowhere near as bad as I expected but I wasn't having the most ridiculously painful contractions until about 4pm. I was cracking jokes with Hubby and texting a few friends to let them know that I was going in to get hecked out, and telling them to send me labour vibes.

Nowhere near as freaked out as I thought I would be and the ride really wasn't too bad at all. did however have a highway trip all the way in and it was a Wednesday so the traffic near the hospital wasn't too bad.

Good luck! I know how worried I was about making it and I made it with ease.
