Labor and delivery! !!

Im so confused!!!! Until now 34 weeks i was so sure i wanted to be my myself during labor (husband is out of state, can't be present) but now i took some clases at the hospital and i don't know who to ask to be with me!!! Im pretty sure i need someone but can't decide who

^^ a doula is a solid idea.
My SO was in the room with our first, but he was so hyperactive from excitement that I booted him for a while. My sister was the best support I could have asked for. If you have a close relationship with your sister, that could be a great option.

What about hiring a doula?

Most hospitals have volunteers if you have no one else it's worth looking into I'd call the hospital you plan to deliver at and ask them if they offer volunteers

Thanks for the advice!!
I think i prefer my sister, i don't have much communication with my mil and my mom lately gets on my nerves.

Yes you need someone for sure. That is not a time to be alone. I've had my sister with me through both of my deliveries idk if she'll be able to come this time.  But my husband will be there got to have someone there to keep you focused.

Mom? Mil? Sister or sister in law? You need someone to keep you focused.
