This might be long so I apologize. I don't know if anyone will be able to help or shed some advice but basically, im currently pregnant with my third baby. I have a 3 year old and 19 month old (who will be 2 when baby is due).
Im from Leeds originally and all my family (just my mum and 18year old sister)live in Leeds, I currently live in Manchester so not a million miles but I don't know any one at all in Manchester.

We need to move back to Leeds before January as it is the deadline for me applying for DS primary school. But with Christmas coming up and just finance's getting on top and in the way I just don't see the move happening.

Only one person drives in DH family, he works away alot and isn't really responsible enough to watch my kids. my mum drives but not on the motor way so don't drive here.

So if I have to stay in Manchester, would it be silly to have a home birth here with the kids here? (Both labours have been natural and under 5 hours).
Do I have DH miss birth so he can stay at home which feels so horrible.
Do I try get my sister to stay with us around the due date, she has college so it would be difficult.
Do I find a baby sitter?
I'm just unsure of what to do

I think I get it now after reading your post so many times haha!

Could your mum not get the train?
Does DH not drive to pick your mum up maybe a few days before due?
Does DH not know anybody in Manchester he trusts to mind the kids?

Also it is entirely possible to get from Leeds to Manchester without using motorways so your mum could drive down...

Neither of us drive and neither of us know any one here 🤦
