my bf is on the list to have a minor operation but its in Hobart about 4 hours from where we live in Burnie. he got a phone call 2day and they want to have him in 2 to 4 weeks i only have 8 weeks left and its cutting it a bit close the problem i have is i wanna go with him but i don't wanna give birth in Hobart for my first i wanna be with my midwife in my home town but i don't want peter to miss the birth and i don't wanna do it without him there. im freaking out right now what should i do go or stay and hope for the best?

hmm, that's a tuffy... I would talk to you doctor/midwife about how you are doing. My be you could make arragements with a doctor/midwife in Hobart just for while you are there. If you doctor/midwife says everything checks out and looks on schedule I would go with him.

Thats the thing i dont wanna give birth in hobart everthing is here and i gonna what my mummy lol

how long wil he be in hospital after? this is ur 1st pregnancy, there are no signs u will go early, so why worry? dont make something happen by fearing it before it happens..
but just to be safe, tell ur midwife((its only 4 hrs, she may drive and meet u if u go into labour,.. being ur 1st baby, u will b very very lucky if u go UNDER 4 hrs)) and take a baby bag
good luck

They are tight asses here and really short staffed she wont come to meet me and we both dont have our licenses so we have to go by bus we dont know how long he'll have to stay and probley 2 3 days buts thats not with the ride there and more its rather stressful

well in that case, i wouldnt reccomend the bus trip there and back, i think ur too far along for that..
stay near to home, where ur mum & midwife are, you will feel better with them , then being on a bus in the middle of the bush, if ur water breaks...
it would be different if u drove..
