Hi, newbie here after not having any replies from a different forum I thought I’d come here.
I’m pregnant with my third baby which has a different father to my eldest two. The dad doesn’t want to be involved so I am doing it alone. I have little family so support is minimal. I know I will be giving birth alone and I’m fine with that but my concerns are if I can’t find last minute childcare to go into hospital. I have considered a home birth to rule this out, but I did really enjoy the hospital experience before and would prefer to do it that way again if I can. Has anyone had this situation and how did it work out for you?
Also am I likely to receive more support in labour as I’ll be alone? There won’t be anyone to take photographs for me which I’m sad about and not sharing the special moment with a partner will be strange for me. I plan to discuss it at my next appointmenr but your experiences will be appreciated tia
