I picked the closest one to my house, and luckily am very happy with them. </p> <p>My hospital is about 3 miles south, about 15 minutes drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-356872 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:54:40 +0000 Running Elley 356872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a 20 minute drive by freeway when traffic is good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-356871 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:53:58 +0000 DillonLion 356871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 mins.

But I can see the hospital from my office. So a tiny part of me is hoping my water breaks at work since the drive to the hospital would be so quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-356847 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:32:19 +0000 kayakgirl73 356847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 15 minutes although it can take 30 minutes at rush hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355632 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 10:05:54 +0000 tororojo 355632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is about 30-40 minutes if there's not traffic. I'm reeeeeally hoping to not be in hardcore labor during rush hour! But we live outside the city limits and could take several different routes/highways/back streets to get there if that was a factor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355564 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:39:39 +0000 ladyfingers 355564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 10 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355548 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:32:45 +0000 Alivoo01 355548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ob's office is about 15-20 minutes away from home. She delivers at 3 different hospitals, one of which is attached to her office building. The other hospitals she delivers at are less than 5 minutes away and 20-25 minutes away from my house. The one I want to deliver at is 20-25 minutes away, however, if that hospital is full, I will be re-directed to the one near my house (less than 5 minutes away). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355542 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:29:27 +0000 autumnlove 355542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 minutes away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355539 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:28:59 +0000 Mrsbells 355539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 20 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355534 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:27:01 +0000 Periwinkle 355534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched doctors at around 27 weeks because we were moving to a new area and our OB is now about 10 minutes from our house. It is very helpful to have them so close. Our hospital is also about 10-15 minutes away and I am hoping that we don't get stuck in any traffic when delivery day arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355523 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:22:26 +0000 kml636 355523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 25 mins, not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355515 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:16:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 355515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB's office is in the hospital about a 10-15 minute drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355510 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:14:20 +0000 wheres_c 355510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>45 minutes! (could be longer in rush hour traffic) We also moved halfway during the pregnancy. It used to be 10 minutes. It's only 5 minutes from work though, so that's convenient for appointments.<br /> I'm dreading the drive when I'm in labor. I hope it's not during rush hour, it took me an hour and a half today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355337 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:33:54 +0000 lavender 355337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OB's office is 15-20 mins by car and the hospital is 30 mins by car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355335 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:32:42 +0000 Smurfette 355335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB's office is right next to the hospital. Only like 3 miles down the road but so it take 10-25 mins depending on the time of the day and traffic, and if I get stuck at every light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355325 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:16:00 +0000 chopsuey 355325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He used to be 5 mins away.

It was supposed to take 20 minutes to get to the hospital but it took about an hour and fifteen minutes due to an accident. It was excruciating and I had to distract myself with my phone and just stop timing my contractions so I wouldn't flip out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355096 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:57:40 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 355096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 minutes- our area is full of hospitals </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355094 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:56:07 +0000 HLK208 355094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes without traffic--but it's a very bumpy ride down the Main Street to the OB/hospital which made labor so much more intense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355088 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:52:41 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 355088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hee hee, mine was almost 2 hours away when I was pregnant!

The hospital where I delivered is usually 30 minutes by car, but it took us an hour and a half to get there when I went into labor due to rush hour traffic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355053 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:37:21 +0000 Minnie_Girl 355053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The midwife that we usually see is 15-20 minutes away driving. The other midwives are about half an hour away. I like that they'll be coming to us for the birth, not vice versa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-ob-from-your-home#post-355028 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:21:00 +0000 LAGS 355028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 mins to OB, hospital is closer though! </p>
