Who will watch ur kids during birth?

Question

I have a 1 & 2 year old and my family is NOT supportive of my pregnancy. I am planning on a home-birth but I know things/transfers can happen and they’re too young to be apart of it. Who watched your children when you went to the hospital/into labor.

Answer

I have a 1, 3, 5, & 7 year old. We haven't even told family we are expecting as they are unsupportive and are halfway across the country. I have a neighbor on call to take the kids in the unlikely event of a transfer.

Answer

My husband will. We have no family around. I could ask a friend but we are not that comfortable asking people to watch our kids. I will have 2 midwives at the hospital with me anyway.

Answer

Yes my family is supportive but my nana is the ONLY one I trust watching my child while my husband and I are away! We will secure our daughters car seat in her car for her and teach her how to properly put her in as when my mom and uncle were little they just literally sat on their laps while driving lol 
She will also be staying at my house which is close to the women’s hospital I will be at 8 minutes out instead of 45 minutes out ( her place )

Answer

Family lives 3hrs away and 1st child will still be in school. If baby comes during the day while the 1st is at school, then dad will witness the birth, if baby comes after school hrs, he will have to come after baby is born unless a family member volunteers to stay our house and babysit

Answer

When we had our 2nd child my mom and step-dad watched our oldest. My step-dad is no longer safe to watch my children as he doesn't believe in my oldest's life threatening food allergies. This time around my MIL and FIL will have my kids at their place during the day and my MIL will bring them to our home for them to sleep in their own beds at night. She will sleep on the couch as I'll be locking my bedroom door. I don't feel that they are going to do a good job and I'm very concerned, but this is the best option I have as my step-father won't allow my mom to watch my girls here. I have to take the lesser of the two evils.
