I was thinking your best option seems to be to labor your tub at home as well (although be careful, apparently it can slow your labor considerably and usually it is recommended to enter the tub shortly before delivery. Don't want you to then have to be given drugs at the hospital to get your labor going again, and then be given an epidural due to the excess pain that caused!). I'm doing a birth center and a water birth, and was excited that I have to leave 4-6 hours after the birth. However, you seem to be really worried about having to go home so quickly. While this is my first, I imagine your peace of mind after the birth is crucial to your regaining strength and healing.
