Depends on variables: This is information that should be provided by your OB team based on your specific needs, distance from the center, prior birth history etc.Please contact your local source of care and clarify this issue.

Good question: As you approach you due date, there are many signs that warrant a trip to l&d to see your doctor. First, signs of impending labor include stronger and more frequent contractions and breaking your water. In addition, any time you experience headaches, vaginal bleeding, blurry vision, decreased fetal movement, or sudden leg swelling you should be evaluated immediately. Discuss with your doctor.
