Re: How far do you live from the hospital you're delivering at??

I would say 15 mins, but none of it is hwy, all back rounds. If we hit every light or it is a busy time it can easily take 30 mins. I am also delivering at Winthrop and even though there are 2 hospitals much closer, I wouldn't switch.

I'm about half an hour or more. Depending on traffic. I'm in Brooklyn and my hospital is waaaay uptown in Manhattan. I keep joking with my boss that I'm going to go into labor in the office because it's closer to the hospital than my home. Chat Icon

I'm about 20 min away.

I don't think 30 is that bad.

My mother drove from Huntington to Manhattan to deliver my sister!!!Chat Icon

35 minutes without traffic. I would be nervous about that but I have to have a repeat c-section so it should not be a big deal.

Im in Nesconset and Im delivering at Huntington...which during the day with traffic could turn into a 45 minute ride..its the farthest Ive ever lived from the hospital so I am a bit nervous. BUT St Catherines is the closest to me and they wont tie my tubes so Im going to take the risk.

Re: How far do you live from the hospital you're delivering at??

I live 25 min. (according to Mapquest) from the hospital I used and I was at risk for delivering in a couple hours max. I would do it again, we loved South Nassau and I love my dr. Some family members pushed for Winthrop b/c it was closer (10-15 min.) and bigger...I know I wouldn't have received the one-on-one care I received nor would my son who ended up in the NICU...he was the ONLY baby there. I also knew the 2 hospitals are the same "company" and that if there were any severe complications, they would send me/him/us right over. Even though it seemed nuts at the time, it was the best choice for me.

We just bought a place and hope to be moving in before the baby comes which will put us @ 45 minutes away from the hospital.
