Personally, I'd go to Atlanta and continue with your original birth plans. You will be most comfortable there and when all is said and done, looking back, you will not regret anything. Whereas in the Hospital, you'll probably regret even going, no matter when you go.

yes i'd check into a homebirth where you are now. otherwise I'd keep with the original plans. the money will come even if it means you have to be tight for awhile. this experience is once in a lifetime and you'd better be happy with the choices you make now. good luck mama

If you decide to stay and have the baby at the hospital by your house than you should try to either have your mom come stay with you for awhile so she will be there when the baby is born or if that's not an option; I would try to find a doula as soon as possible. Personally I would try to convince my dh that the midwife plan is the way I wanted to go and that even if he misses a little bit of work or money... this is a once in a lifetime experience of having your child and you need to be as relaxed as possible!! Good luck

if the nurse midwife here can make a little better accomidations for me then i think that i will stay. if not then its up to atlanta with mommy.
this is my first brith and i want the whole experience to be something i am happy with and want to remember.[/QUOTE]
Dear SaraBravo, you already decided it.![]()
Just choose the one in which you are comfortable with. You can get the money back later. You should deliver the baby in the most comfortable situation where you feel safe and comfy.
Between your mom and fiance, whom do you prefer to be with when the time comes and in the days after the labor? I don't mean to make it more complicated, but the question may hopefully help you out.
Hugs and kisses,

i actually do prefer my fiance to be there although i wish i could have both of them. if i have here here or in savannah there is less of a chance that my mother will be there. she works for a bank and it would be harder for to take time off than it would be for my fiance. but she can afford better than we can. i want and need both of them there. i need my fiance there more however. he is the father and he really wants to be there for me and the baby which is why he was wanting me to have her here rather than in atlanta because he would forsure beable to be there instead of having to drive 6 hrs worried if he was giong to make it in time and worrying about me if im ok or not.
