Mine is about 25 minutes with no traffic by car. Luckily traffic wasn't that bad when I went into labor with both Charlie and Olive.
How far is your ob?

we moved halfway through our pregnancy, so the commute went from 20 min drive to 45 min drive -- without traffic :). With vancouver traffic and it could be who knows how long ;).
although i really liked my ob, we will have to find a closer one when we get pregnant again!

About 15 min with no traffic. 20 min usually. The practice and hospital are both closer to my work.

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!

My OB is a 45 minute train ride. 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!

OB and hospital is 25 minutes away, with no traffic. Baby's due in Feb (we get snow here!) and husband is a nervous driver so needless to say we'll be doing a few dry runs

Hee hee, mine was almost 2 hours away when I was pregnant! So was the hospital!

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!

My OB is about 5 minutes away but he hospital is about 20.
@hilsy85: I had a similar experience. 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.

15 min for both? She has two offices: one by my office and one by my house. The office by my house is actually in the hospital.

He used to be 5 mins away. Now he's about 20 mins away with no traffic

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.

OB's office is 15-20 mins by car and the hospital is 30 mins by car.

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.
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!

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!

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).

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.

OB's office is right next to the hospital and 15-20 minutes from my house. 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!

My OB is a half-mile away, we live right in the middle of a square mile block, and they are on the middle of the south side. I picked the closest one to my house, and luckily am very happy with them.
My hospital is about 3 miles south, about 15 minutes drive.
