I'm 35 weeks and think I just lost my mucous plug....last time I went into labor the next day. I know some lose it early and it could be weeks before labor. However, we are supposed to drive 8 hours to be with my inlaws. We are planning to move near them. Is this a good idea? Should I just stay put and wait until after the baby is born to move? I really don't want to go into labor on the road or risk anything.

I would stay put, but that's because I'm sort of a worrier like that. Ask yourself how it would be to give birth in the city near your inlaws.

I'd stay put too. But then again, I'm on the cautious side b/c its bad enough to me I have to deliver in a Hosp, I don't want to do so in a strange one.

Thanks, that is my gut feeling...I just wanted to see if I was being overly cautious.

Where were you planning to give birth?? Where you are now, or where your inlaws are?
Traveling 8 hours seems an awfully long way unless it is for a really good reason.

Take care of yourself and trust your body... good luck and blessings!

Oh yeah, stay put. Most care givers will tell you not to do anything over a 2 hour drive at this point.
