Upset I’ll probably be giving birth alone
So basically I got pregnant by a one night stand. Literally the ONLY time I had sex this year, literally that one time. Anyways, I’m 9 months and happy about it now. The guy is not involved but I’ve decided I’ll keep my baby and try my best at this alone.
I already have a 5 year old. My support system is not big, basically my sister and my mom.
My 5 year olds dad is somewhat in her life but he is extremely selfish. Yes he comes around but he is more worried about himself, his money his clothes etc , than her feelings
I have asked him if we could sit down and talk about a plan for when I go into labor. I really want my mom with me. My sister won’t be able to because she has children of her own. Plus my mom is just an overall calm,caring nurturing person who would put me at ease. Also my sister lives an hour in the opposite direction to the hospital I’m delivering at. So dropping my daughter off to her really wouldn’t work either.
Basically my daughters dad lives & works only 10-15 mins from us.
I told him when I go into labor I’ll need him to get her. He said he wasn’t going to, that I know he works all week and he won’t be leaving work or waking up in the middle of the night to get her because I “decided to be a whore”
So I asked if his mom would be able to grab her from the hospital at least if my mom takes me up there and she has to ride and he said “ask your baby daddy” and “it’s not her problem”
I’m really upset and scared because I don’t know what will happen ... if I’m in pain and screaming like I was when I was in labor with my daughter I don’t want her around that it would terrify her. And I’m scared to labor alone. My
Epidural didn’t work with my daughter. I screamed for so long I went hoarse and bit through my lip. I thought I was dying at one point literally. My mom was there and the only thing comforting me as the nurses were super rude !
Have any of you all done it alone? How?
