Would you go camping 1.5hrs from your birthing centre at 39wks 2nd baby?

Question

Answer

Hell no Labor even with your 1st could be super quick. Unless theirs a hospital within 30-45 mins I wouldn't go anywhere 😂. 
Just rest or take a little baby moon at a local hotel

Answer

I live an hour away from the closest hospital.

Answer

I love camping but my first came 3 weeks early. I’m a little nervous going camping this weekend at 33 weeks pregnant. But I’ll be 4 hours away from my hospital.

Answer

In my opinion the issue is less the distance from the hospital (some people just live that far from a hospital anyway) and more had to do with being somewhere that would take longer to leave. At least when I go camping, I feel like it takes a while to pack everything in the campsite up and get ready to leave, so you'd be adding extra time to that 1.5 hours. Personally that would be too stressful for me to enjoy, I would be worrying the whole time.

Answer

I clicked no to the camping bit! But I’m going to the country side when I’m 38 weeks. The nearest hospital is an hour away

Answer

Sorry meant to click no. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

I went tent camping with my hubby a couple weeks ago at 28-29 weeks and it was just the get away we needed. It was so wonderful. Obviously, I wasn't as close to my due date as you, but if you really want to go, just make sure to be prepared for labor just in case.

Answer

I voted no just to the camping bit.  I can barely sleep in my bed at 32 weeks, let’s not push outdoors on a sleeping pad at 39.  I tried that at 26 weeks and it was awful.  Maybe if you did it more like car camping and used an inflatable mattress it would be ok, but an actual sleeping pad isn’t enough cushion for this mama.

Answer

Hell No should of been my answer! You don’t want to be that far away from the hospital plus is it like RV camping (glamping) or out in tent camping? You don’t want to be hot and sticky!

Answer

I meant hell no, not yes. Lol
