Feeling So Down

I'm 37 wks 4 days and extremely nervous about going into labor. This is my 3rd baby but because of my husband's work schedule I'm scared he won't be there when I go into labor. Everything I wanted to try this time around has gone out the window. I wanted to try with no drugs but with being so uncertain about his schedule I'm thinking about being induced. There's no one else to take me to the hospital except him and I might be stuck with our youngest son. I'm trying to stay positive and pray for the best but I can't help but worry.

Is there a comunity resorse center where you are that can assist. We gave one in Calgary called the cottage.  They will take kids overnight for up to 74 hrs. If needed. Im sure of you go into labour yout husband will get there for you. And evenbif he is running behind the hospital is trained and is great with assisting the delivery.  I had my last just me and the hospital staff. It was ok. Just happen too fast. You should find out how much a taxy costs to go from your locarion to the hospital and put that money asside for emergancy. Best of luck. I hope you can figure things out with out inducing.  Its best for baby to come naturaly

I am so sorry. It is very scary the idea you can go into labor anytime.  Is there no neighbor you are comfortable enough with to watch your little one? Or friend/co-worker? Maybe look for a babysitter you can get your son comfortable with now that can kind of be on call? Good luck.  I am hoping everything goes smoothly for you! You got this!
