I'm only 20 weeks into my second pregnancy but I'm already panicking about who will look after ds when I go into labour.
I live 7 hours away from my mum. Dp's mum lives in our village but has ms with limited mobility so it wouldn't be fair to either her or ds to leave him with her. Dp also has aunts/uncles local but ds is very shy and wouldn't stay with them.
I don't know what to do with him! If I HAVE to leave him with someone he won't be comfortable with I'll be constantly worrying about him rather than baby 2 coming.
My mum is happy to hop in the car whenever I phone her (she or my brother seem the only people ds is comfortable with) but like I said, she's a 7 hour drive. She's booked off work the 2 weeks when I'm due but ds1 came very very quickly at 32 weeks!
I don't even know what advice anyone could give but I don't want to spend the rest of the pregnancy worrying about this!
