2.5 hours away from my delivery hospital. Advice please!!

My husband and I live near our hospital now but bought a house 2.5 hours away where it was cheaper for bigger house/ more land. Should we drive when I go into labor, or stay with my parents for the week prior to giving birth. Help! We don’t want to stay with my parents but idk if driving 2.5 hours is practical. This is my first and Ik labor may be long with your first. Would I make it??

Thank you for your thoughts!
