[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently expecting my third any day now and this is what we have:
-3 sets of neighbors on call who can come at a moments notice (one of which has offered to drive kids to daycare/has keys to our car with car seats and on daycare pickup/drop off list)
-In-laws and parents a flight away but both ready to come if we call

Worst case scenario, DH will stay with kids and I’ll go to hospital but I don’t think it will come to that.

Thanks, this is helpful.  Because my first two came so quickly, the flight away isn't helpful since I'm just really trying to avoid the situation of either taking my kids to the hospital or having to go alone while DH stays with the kids.  My sister is actually a 30 min drive so she can come relieve whoever we have, but since DC2 was born within 2 hours, I don't want to wait for her to get to my house before heading to the hospital.

I have a few neighbors on call within a 5-10 min drive so I guess that's really the answer, but I think it's really just the speed of my prior labors that gives me anxiety.  I really don't want to deliver a baby on the side of the road!![/quote]
