Yes, my place is very close to the hospital. It's about 5 minutes by taxi. When my contraction starts, I need to call my midwife to my home to examine me. If I'm not dilate enough, she will not bring me to the hospital.
A friend of mine gave birth last month. She went in and out of the hospital 4 times in 3 days..... She didn't have a midwife who could help....
No worries, you have given birth before and your lovely baby will give you some warning when he's born.
