Anyone ever deliver with just hospital staff?

[koyama83]

I'm due in less than a month and I'm not sure if anyone will be able to be with me when I deliver. My SO is not emotionally available and will most likely flake when the time comes. I have close friends that I've known for 20 years but they all have full time jobs and I have 2 of them on standby but I am not sure how it will work. I don't have family nearby except for my 6 yo son and 11 yo daughter.
Has anyone delivered without personal support?
My OB won't induce me btw because this pregnancy is healthy compared to my previous pregnancies.

I'm pregnant with my 3rd. I had my mother for my first she passed before my 2nd. With him my good friend was suppose to be with me but by the time she parked the car and got to l&d I had already had him.not even time for a doc to get there. So with this one my main concern is my 3 year old. I figure I'll be alone. Just don't want to worry about my toddler while in labor. Support would be nice but I'm sure you'll be fine.

I delivered my 1st with just hospital staff. I was 16 at the time and had gotten called in to get checked meanwhile my mom went downstairs to get my hubby. By the time they got in I had delivered already.

I pretty much did, like pp my husband was out of the country. I did have my mom there, and as amazing of a relationship as we have, she was a crappy birth partner. She's just VERY boundary orientated so she never came over rto me, she spent most of the time in the hall with my stepdad. I spent 90% of the time in the room alone, laboring in the shower when I could. Then I ended up with an emergency csection. It honestly wasn't that bad, though it seems pretty scary. This time my DH will be there, hopefully he's a much better birthing partner lol

Yes, I delivered my son all by myself last pregnancy. My husband was out of the country, unable to be here or even to skype. My mom was working and her boss didn't allow her to leave early. I drove myself to the hospital along with my daughter who was back then 4 1/2, my only brother came and pick her up. So I stayed all alone in the room until the ob came and I delivered my son. Then everyone left and my mom arrived like 2 hours after with my daughter and stayed for a little. So I was alone at the hospital the whole time, until my mom would visit with my daughter.  I was there for 2 days. I have been there. This time around my husband is here, but my mom is not, she is out of the country and won't be back until the end of next week, I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and hoping my son won't come before then because other wise I will have to do it all by myself and alone again, since we don't have anyone to watch our 2 kids if I end up going early. My husband would have to be home with the kids. Good luck to us and hope there is someone with us that day! God bless!
