I want a home birth but dp doesn't. I would like dp to be at the birth but unless its at home, he won't be as he will have to look after dc. Middle dc has SN so child care is a big issue.
I don't have any close family. I don't have any close friends I would ask to be a birth partner in London. Im not that bothered if im very honest. I actually am more annoyed at dp attitude towards a home birth.
I suppose im thinking maybe, I might regret not organising a birth partner on the day. I've looked into doula's & financially its not an option. I couldn't believe how expensive they are!
How do you pick a birth partner??
