I'm due October 2nd with oour 2nd baby. Its really starting to hit me my husband might not be home for delivery its pretty depressing. Those of you who have givrn birth without your partner how did you mentally??

Mine is deployed and wont be home. I have someone coming to watch my older two, but no one to be there with me. I am starting to get nervous also. Since everything I read says you need a support. I was going to have a doula but cant afford it.

My boyfriend just decided to join the Army and my biggest fear is that he won't be there for the delivery idk how that Army ish works but it scares me I'll have my mom and probably my grandma but I want/wanted him to be there. Ever since he told me about this new plan of his (which I had to ask for him to tell me) I've cried myself to sleep every night it hurts :'(

It was sad for me i really wanted hubby to br there. but after a while it got so crazy thati wasn't thinking about it anymore. my mom was great thru the whole thing so glad she was there

I don't even want my partner or mom in the room. I don't want anyone other than the doctor and nurses in there. But I can understand how it is upsetting to not have someone so important there. I would say bring your mom and if you have a sister or friend you're really close to, bring them too. Maybe even your dad? You're going to need as much supposrt as possible.
