delivering baby alone...

[collinsmumma]

Have any of you mommy's given birth all alone in the delivery room? My son's father was suppose to be there but we broke up so now he says he doesn't want to be there and he'll visit after... I'd rather have the experience alone if he's not gonna be there. But has anyone else done this?

[collinsmumma]

Thank you all. My very close aunt told me that if it came down to it and I was alone and needed someone there then she would love to be there for me.

I delivered my last two alone. I had a awesome doctor and very supportive nurse staff. You can do it mom.

I was by myself with my daughter and it was ok

You will be fine. I would rather be alone. It's just too much having people to talk to, and trying to deal with delivery. Thank goodness yall finally split up. He was a jerk.

I've been staying with my parents

[figaro08j]

Who are u staying with since you moved from your ex

U should ask ur mom to be on call to watch ur sisters baby so ur sister can be with u during delivery..it would be a shame to be by urself :( or even ur dad if u have a close relationship?

[collinsmumma]

She has a 3 year old, so she can't really be available whenever I need her

What about your sister ? Does she live close by ? Have u considered asking her ?

[collinsmumma]

Yeah I know. He's one of a f****** kind..

So he went from "no one else can hold my baby" to not even coming himself. The dude sounds like a child.

My childs father was asleep during my entire labour and i had to ask a dr to go find him when it was time to push. he stood in te corner silent and i found out later he was filming... i love him but to be honest i felt like i delivered that baby with just me in the room. its ur baby and u.... thats who matters the most in that moment.

I suppose you could be alone with the nurses / midwifes help etc. Just because you 2 split up doesn't mean he can't be there though that's selfish of him I think (just my opinion)

[collinsmumma]

My mom passed out when my sister got the epidural in the delivery room.. She can't deal with it. And I don't have any close enough friends that I'd feel comfortable being there.

Well I didn't deliver alone but my husband was no help during my first delivery. I had to wake him up and then he just stood there watching while the nurses helped. Then he said he was so tired after and fell back to sleep! I was so mad but I was fine with the nurses and doctors help. You can do it by yourself if there is no one else you want in there.

You dont want maybe your mom or a close friend in there?
