DH came in with me for DD's birth, but I think he would much prefer to stay with DD this time. I am still in two minds - a little nervous doing it by myself, although he will take me to the hospital etc....but on the other hand we don't realy have anywhere for DD to go especially if the baby came at night time and I don't want to be worried about her (she will be 24 months when baby 2 comes) My family live a long way as do most of our friends and I don't really want people staying with us during that time as we don't have a very big place. Mum will be coming down after about a week when DH goes back to work, she did offer to come and look after DD if I went into labour but as she lives a long way from us it would be very difficult for her to get here in time.
Has anyone else decided to or done it alone before?
I am just thinking well in many countries the man wouldn't go in anyway and before about the 70's they didn't either so I can't be alone! :)
