i hope everything works out for you. i am lucky as we live near my family - so i just plan on distrupting their lives a bit. unfortunately unless you are scheduled in for an induction or c-section then you can only plan so much anyway - chances are we may still end up with 'jelly' in the hospital with us, as i had a really quick labour last time and if DH is at work when i go into labour this time, he has a 15-20min drive to pick me up, 20min drive to my parents house (or my sisters school) and then another 20min drive to the hospital. you just need to have faith that things will work out in the end.
