35w3d, would you travel 1.5 hrs to a rural town (no hospital within about an hour), for a wedding?

Question

Answer

If you haven’t already, you should just pack everything you would need JUST incase you do go into labor.

Answer

Ask your doctor. I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and went on a weekend trip 4 hours away after my doctor approved me going.

Answer

I live in a rural town and have to drive 2 hours to get to my doctor/hospital so that’s really nothing for me. It’s just a part of life here.

Answer

I’m 36 and went to my bfs softball tournament a hour and half away. I’m sure you’re fine.

Answer

Just run it past your OB. 
I’ll be 33/34 weeks and taking a road trip through rural Montana and then the next day flying out of state. Will be doing the same on our way back home. 
Also, just did the same road trip last week.

Answer

I wouldn't but with this being my fifth I know when I do go into labor it'll be pretty quick, lol. If this is your first and you just happen to go into labor you will most likely still have time to get to the hospital. I would still check in with your doctor to be sure though, some OB's will actually discourage making any trips once you hit 35 weeks.

Answer

I say no because I’m too tired! Not because I’d be worried about how close the hospital is

Answer

I’ll be 36 weeks and traveling 2 hours away for our baby shower and staying the night 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

My hospital is a five minute drive and I have a history of precipitous labour so it’s not something I would do personally. If your doctor says it’s fine though then go ahead! Just have a plan.

Answer

That’s the distance to the nearest hospital for me... so I wouldn’t even think twice about it to be honest!
