I'm probably being silly but had a horrible dream that I'd gone into labour and only just managed to get the hospital and was 10cms dilated and told to start pushing but DH was still making his way to the hospital from work (approx 1 - 1.5 hours journey door to door).
I'm 23 weeks pregnant with DC2 and I'd like to put this worry to rest! DS1 was a relatively quick labour (5.5 hours) from waking up with an ache to delivering him and I arrived at the hospital 9cms dilated with an hour in the birthing pool until he was born. When they discharged me they advised me to come in quickly when I had a second baby.
I think the main thing that is worrying me is that DH won't be there. I guess the best solution is for him to check out how long it would take him to sprint to a train station from his office and the longest he would need to wait for a train in the off-peak daytime hours and then catch a taxi to the hospital. Having DH there was a huge help at DS's birth and it was all very calm and a good experience, I just want the same again!
I didn't realise I was worried until this dream!
