[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]

Most people do not suddenly go into full blown labor and deliver within the hour like they do in movies and TV.  I would just call an Uber and go home.  Then figure it out from there.  Obviously if an emergency situation like sudden bleeding or something that is different.  But even when my water broke I was instructed to stay home for a while.[/quote]
