My sister had just gotten in town from LR and we'd gone out for one last meal. This was our quick return home to pack our toothbrushes and hop in the car. It was quite an interesting experience. My labor's are long, like days. I went in early with Thomas because I was told to, and labored in the hospital for 32 hours before he was born. It was pretty miserable because I was exhausted by the time he came.
This time, I knew I was in labor and tried to stay home as long as possible so that I could do without the drugs, prodding and checking for as long as possible. I labored at home so long this time that I was half-way there when I got to the hospital. If Thomas' vitals and my vitals hadn't crashed last time, I think I would have tried to go naturally the whole way. But, since it got a little scary there, I went for drugs. Labor and delivery were seamless.
