Can you imagine driving yourself to the hospital in labor?

Last night my cousin had a healthy baby boy all by herself. Her DH is in the Navy and was deployed overseas 2 weeks ago (just relocated to San Diego 3 months ago from Maryland). Her mom was in Cali visiting her all last week and left Sat morning. She went into labor Sunday, drove herself to the hospital and had the baby in 2 hours! Luckily her SIL was around to watch her 18 month old.

Wow! I had a hard time sitting with back labor. I don't think I could have driven to the hospita by myself!

Wow! Thats something else.
I dont know if i would be able to do it, i guess if that was the only way to get me there and it wasnt to far. i wouldnt want to be sitting in traffic, alone while in labor.

I have been thinking that I might have to drive myself too if DH is already at work. He works in Brooklyn and it would take him a good 1.5 hours to go home.

That just might be me too! If my sister isn't home and it's just my son and I, I'll have to drop him at his dad's and head over to the hospital! Luckily the hospital is only a few minutes away.

omg....she should NOT have done that! it's incredibly dangerous! why couldn't the SIL have driven her, dropped her off and then watched the 18 month old? i'm glad it all worked out ok...but that is super dangerous!Chat Icon
