[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to Vienna and I commute into DC about twice a week. With the metro and walk, it's about 45 mins door to door. I'm currently in my 3rd trimester and wondering what I would do if I go into labor at work. Would I try to make it back to Vienna or just go to Sibley (where I delivered my first but obviously not currently registered at)? Should I try to go fully remote after 35 weeks?

I know most people have hours upon hours before they deliver but with my first, I had him at 37 weeks and got to the hospital at 9cm. I worry I'll have an even faster labor the second time around and now the logistics of a toddler and in-office work have me nervous.

What have others done?[/quote]

If you go into labor at work, go to your hospital.  By the fastest way - Uber probably.  I carried my essentials (glasses, toothbrush, night guard) on my person every day after 36 weeks in case I went to the hospital from work.  DH could have gone home to get other stuff as needed.  Make sure your childcare is approved to pick up your toddler from daycare and knows how to do that. [/quote]
