going in labor alone :'(

[jeni18]

my mama and family said they can't make it to my daughters birth and my bf might not make it either cause he always working and im due in 2 days but might go over due cause im only 1 cm ,but still noone will make it ima be all alone :( im only 18 and i really wanted my mother there

[LucyMarie1991]

Well I live in Britain. And here it is a legal requirement that your employer gives you one day off in every seven, or two days off in every fourteen.

[jeni18]

no its not illegal for him not to have days off he works at a movie theater he cleans the theater and they never have days off they always freakn open and its only him and 2 other people working so he cant just up and leave or he will get fired do trust i know cause i use to work there and i had really bad morning sickness when i was 5 months pregnant and couldn't work and i got fired and replaced the next day even though i finished the work and called in sick, not every
job gets days off no matter where you are and its peperfectly legal

My husband would probaly be working too but he will leave his job with or without permission. Your childs birth only happens once. Being that your already almost their that should be enough notice for his employer.

Not sure where.you live but.I'm pretty sure it's illegal not to allow employees any time off.
So if his mom got hit by a bus and was in the hospital and.was critical he would get fired for leaving to.visit.her? I find that highly doubtful.
What if something happened to your baby and he/she was sick? His employer would fire him for taking his baby to.the Dr instead of coming.to work? Hmm...
I'm sorry you have to.go through it alone, but I.think your boyfriend could be.there if he really wanted to

[jeni18]

no they wouldn't let him off with him finishing his job for that day and they don't care if it is an emergency he doesn't get any days off and i mean none not Christmas, not thanksgiving none what so ever or he will be fired

[collegeMarriedpregnant]

Would his work let him off when you go into labor?  I've never heard of an employer that didn't do that

[jeni18]

thank you ladies and yes his whole family but i cant ask them to be in there cause they will get mad that they all cant be in there and plus im not that confrontable with them and no my bf cant get off of work or he would get fired and my friends said they would get there if they have time but i already know they gonna end up having some excuse or say they was sleeping

[a_love]

I will also most likely be alone when I go into labor my husband will have just started working for the prison near us and possibly won't be able to take any time off and my mother will be keeping my daughter since she lives in the town were I plan on birthing and I feel it would be weird to have his family in the room ...but I'm coming to terms with the fact that ill have my doctor and a bunch of I hope good nurses ...do you have anyone on his side of the family that would like to be there ???

[Jules_mommy]

Is it possible for your bf to get off work? Ask close friends to help. I'm so sorry girl, that's rough :(

[Mel_Singh]

#Hard, hope u get lovely midwifes for support.

[Mel_Singh]

Awww really that will b so hqd

[Tanya0516]

I was alone when I had my twins.   My now ex wasn't there for the labour portion of my second baby either, but he made it 10 minutes before going into the OR.

You'll be okay,  you can do it alone. Xx

[kayleigh0817]

Your bf should be able to get off work if he's at work when your in labor so he can be there with you

[cecilia_morgan]

Aww I Im sry huny :-( my sister in law is 19 and will prly be alone for her first birth as well. My brother is in the baby and will be underway on a sub. And they live 9 hours away now in Virginia beach :-( I couldn't imagine being alone. But you know maybe someone will come through even if it's just a friend to be with you. But if not im sure you will do just fine :-) I bet your a strong women and be just fine either way ;-) goid luck huny

[3babyboyz]

With my second bb i did it on my own cuz my bf had to watch my first bb n all my fam live in cali so with this one I'll probably end up doing it alone again so dont worry! Im sure u can do it! Cuz once u have the bb ur concentration will b on it! Good luck!

[Faith_Sarai]

Do you have any friends or family that could be there instead. It's ok girl!
