I'm due to have dc2 in about 4 weeks time. For one reason and another, it's a strong possibility that I might have to give birth without DH. There's no-one else I could or would ask in his place. I've been doing yoga this pregnancy and when I'm feeling calm I don't feel scared about giving birth again (traumatic birth with dc1) but it gets to the end of the day when I'm tired and I have the time to think about it and I panic and think I can't do it again, and especially if I'm labouring on my own for a while at home with nobody to take DS from me for a few hours or whatever, I'm really panicking about the logistics of it, getting to hospital in time, not getting upset in front of DS etc and am curious as to how others did it?
