Who watched your toddler when you gave birth to your second?

I'm in a new town and don't know many people .

I'm having a section and would like my husband to be there with me for the 3 days I'll be in the hospital .

My son will be just turning 2 year old at the time . I'm getting so much anxiety because I don't want to be in the hospital alone but I don't know if I can trust hired help for 3 days or a "friend " I only met a couple months ago

Just wondering what other people did
