An due DC2 soon via homebirth. My PFB is 3.5 and we've not really got clear plans re what to do with her during the birth. I know we should have one but there is no clear solution ie family 5mins away. Nearest is sister 25mins away and she can ony really cover weekends due to work. We have nursery cover during working hours should we need it but I'm thinking about what to do if im in labour when she wakes in the morning or around 5-7pm before her bedtime.
I know the part of the point of doing HB means its easier re childcare but is it? What did you do? You can't really leave a 3.5 yo alone upstairs unless asleep- I know Dh can sit with her in worst case but I might need him too! ( she is priority tho!)
Interested to hear your stories :)
