    • just went through that this weekend. 38 weeks and delivering in Manhattan and we had a family (DH) party in Long Island. I was terrified but we did it. We made rules first... I checked with OB right before going (she said it was fine, no dialation) and I told him we had to leave the second I wanted to. We wound up staying the whole time and it was ok.

    • my friend had her 2nd baby in a taxi on 9th Ave while on the way to hospital. cab got pulled over but ended up getting a police escort to hospital. 2nd babies are quicker than 1st. if this is your 1st you will have hours before you need to go to hosp! that aside, i was so uncomfortable before my DB was born I didn't want to be in a car for more than 5 min.

    • if you are really worried, don't go. if you think you'll be able to relax enough to enjoy the party then go.
