Should I go alone ?

[Babyg1995]

I'm due my elective c section next Friday the plan was my 2 DC go to my mums while my partner comes to the birth my mum is 62 she hasn't been out at all since last week she has anxiety mostly around health she called yesterday saying she doesn't think it's a good idea the kids going to hers for the day while I'm in hospital I don't know what do say / do I understand why she's feeling this way but the thought of going through my section on my own isn't good but of course if I have to I will get on with it any advice anyone ? What would you do in my position would you just go alone ? I don't have anyone else who could be at the birth.

Could his mum look after the children? What’s her concern, does she think she’ll get cv from your kids? Does she understand she’s asking you to give birth alone?

Hi my partner's parents live overseas .yes I think she's concerned about catching it which I get that anyone can catch it but her anxiety is making it seem more of a possibility she said she wants to follow the rules .I did explain she's not been out neither have I or the kids my partner has been out for shopping pharmacy ect she has said she will take them for the day but I've a feeling she will convince herself she has it a couple of days later that's why I'm thinking should I just go on my own .

I've had 2 phone calls this week her thinking she has it but doesn't have any symptoms .

I'd go it alone if I were you. It's not ideal but, assuming your DM doesn't live with you, she shouldn't be seeing your DC right now anyway. On top of that, her anxiety over CV sounds really high so I don't think it's fair to put childcare responsibilities on her right now.

Best of luck with your section x

Thank you that's what I'm thinking she hasn't seen them since all this started anyway .

Hi OP. I'm in a similar situation. My parents are in their 70s. They were going to have 2 year old DS when I have my c section in June so my partner could be there, but all things being equal, my dad had diabetes and there's just no way, unless something changes significantly between now and then. While it is shitty, I just want to get my little girl out safely and get home ASAP.

Definitely snoozy all I want is to go in and get back out I had arranged months before for my mum to have the kids so I'm not putting it on her at a time like this she has no health conditions .will be glad when it's all over .

Me too. It's crap really but I don't see there's much we can do. Wish you all the best xx

Thank you you too .xx
