Hello, dh and I are having a bit of a dilema about what we will do with our children when I give birth to our third baby. Baby is due in September so both dd and ds should be at school. We have no family close so they would have to come and stay. My mum is a bit useless with the children even getting them ready and feeding them would be a problem let alone getting them to school. DH mum is great would be fantastic but the problem is dh sister is having a baby about 2 weeks before so we cannot rely on dh mum.
So our options are 1) home birth, not likely though I think as I have had complications before and may need to be admitted to hospital. 2) heavy reliance on friends for favours, dropping kids to school maybe having overnight, but this feels like too much to ask 3) can we hire someone to be here? trouble is we have a very small house 2 beds so very cramped at the best of times.
Does anyone have any good ideas, i know its a long way off but I am already starting to feel panic rising. Any suggestions really appreciated

Can I ask what you all do with your children when you go into hospital to give birth?
