I'm facing labour alone.. I'm married with our 2 year old.

Our daughter doesn't like to be left alone with anyone apart from me.. my husband.. plus my mum and dad.. who live 280 miles away.

I'm close with my mum but she won't be coming here and I'm not even sure when after birth either.. I'm not quite sure why.. it isn't money.. my dad is retired.. and my mum still works but can take time off easily.

I'm genuinely hurt by this.. but have to respect their decision.

But that will leave me to face being on my own as my husband will be with our child.. we have no family and just one friend here.. he has recently lost his wife sadly.. we are not sure our daughter will be okay as she hasn't met him often and he has his own kids to look after.. I'm trying not to stress but I really wish I had some support.. I feel so alone and so close to birth.. I was excited til my husband asked me today when my mum is coming.. he thought she would of organised time off.. which is possible.. and now he tells me he doesn't think our daughter will be okay.. when previously he was saying how comfortable she was with his friends children.. playing.. laughing.. I always support everyone but feel let down by him now.. but obviously our child comes first and think in the same way.

How was ur experience of being in labour on ur own?

I can't do home birth as I have a high chance of haemorrhage.
