Please help me find strength

[Dozeyland]

25+3, already have 15.5m DD. Dp is currently away (not by choice) and i've been told today that he's not going to be back in time for the birth. we thought he was but its not happening now.

Please help me find the strength, I felt ok about the labour knowing he was going to be by my side. had a good labour with DD but ended with pph 1000mls. and i just cant face this on my own :(

and he's potentially not going to be home until october now. so missing all the precious times with our next baby

devastated in an understatement :(

Ah DOZEYLAND feel so sorry for you :(

I would feel the exact same as you but the only thing you can do is focus on the time yas will have together when ur DH is home.

Is there anyone else you feel comfortable with for the birth?

Sending ya a big hug xo

:( That's rubbish. I'm so sorry- I'd be gutted as well. Is it possible for him to SKYPE with you at the birth? I had one of my nurses tell me she had a woman do it because her partner was in Afghanistan.

my DP is in the Army so may it's unlikely he'l be at the birth of our first, so I know how you feel! It's rubbish. All we can do is stay strong & get through it the best we can, our babies are coming no matter who's there or who's not, & hey at least he won't see u all ugly and irritable giving birth?
You'l be fine your stronger than you think you are xxx
