truckers wife

My husband is a truck driver and is only home on weekends. I'm 29 weeks now but I can't help but worry about going into labor when he's not there. I'm worried about having to be in the delivery room alone. His mom is always busy with her boyfriend and my mom works all the time and both have told me that it's possible they won't be there. Have any of you ladies had to deliver with out your partners or anyone else there to support you?
