Lone childbirth?

Has anyone chosen to give birth alone? As in, no DH/DP or family/friend present.

If so, how was it and how is it looked upon by the labour ward staff?

I am 21wks with DC2. My partner and I are in the process of separating (although we still live together), and I don't want him there.

I would like my mum to look after DD while I go in on my own.

Thoughts on this?

Please don't try and persuade me to get a doula, as I have had no income other than child benefit for the last 8 months and am struggling to feed us.

Oh jeez - just had a horrible thought. What happens if he turns up at the labour ward wanting to come in? Will they let him?

No. If you have said for him not to come in then they won't let him in.
