I am not talking about without assistance from midwives, by the way
However, I will be a single parent and therefore obviously won't have a partner to 'support' me.
I am wondering how normal, I suppose, for want of a better word it is to attend antenatal classes and give birth alone? All TV programmes (I know!) depict two parents, and everyone I know who hasn't been able to have their partner with them has had support from someone at least.
So - when the time comes, will I be the freak of the hospital or does this actually happen from time to time?
