Super Upset!

[Braxtonnn]

Finding out that basically no one in my family is going to be here when I'm due. Everyone is going on vacation... I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go past my due date, so I keep crying.. I'm most upset because my dad is going to be all the way in New York and I'm in Arizona. My boyfriend comforts me and I know that he's going to be there but it's still upsetting..

I know it's still pretty upsetting that no one will be coming to the hospital to see him, but I promise it's not all that bad. With my first, he came 5 weeks early and had to spend 3 weeks in the NICU. I was only allowed 5 guests on that list other than myself and his dad, so I constantly had people in and out of my room for no reason and while the thought was nice, it was still pretty annoying bc I just wanted to sleep or pump in peace or go to the NICU and sit with my son, but couldn't bc there were 900 people there all day

I highly recommend the get together once baby is born! I actually opted out of a baby shower for this pregnancy and will be doing a diaper shower/cookout after mine is born. That way, you can have pretty much a planned visitation day for everyone at once, and you'll be able to rest for a bit after the baby is born.

Oh ok I see where you coming from and what you mean  try not to stress yourself out  and worry about it . How about having a welcome home day/ get together after the baby is born . So everyone can come and see the baby  in the comfort of your home . After you and baby  and boyfriend have bonded.

I'm not upset because they won't be in the delivery room, it's because no one is going to be there to meet my baby boy after. Everyone went for my cousin buy now no one will be there for me.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. My mother-in-law is supposed to be watching our son while I'm laboring, but her brother jus got back frm the Phillipines and they are having a little family reunion in Louisiana and we live in Colorado! I am due August 10th and she wnt be back till the 5th, but my midwife and I think this little one maybe coming sooner then later! I have family here, but I dnt trust them with my son and my sister-in-law is our other go to baby sitter, but she is my doula. My son will be 18 months and he is so clingy lately and I'm jus worried he'll jus be crying for me...he doesn't even want his dad, but if he goes with him then there goes my husband's support so we're jus praying this little one comes during the night while he is a sleep since we are having a home birth that wld work out perfectly! Dnt worry these things will work themselves out:)

I feel for you ladies that want family members to be there but honestly I don't  my first pregnancy everyone was there no help second one just my husband no help so this one it's going to be me and husband maybe I don't want the extra irritation  and being crowded it's enough with all the nurses doctors and students in and out . You ladies will do just fine the support helps but honestly it doesn't help when you going through the pain by yourself  again good luck

I'm gonna be alone when I give birth to my first baby also. I wish all you mothers the best with your deliveries.

[isabel94]

Well honestly I'm not trying to be mean or rude or hurt your feelings in any way but remember that at the end of the day it will always just be u and ur kids when I had my first born no one and I literally mean NO ONE not even my husband was there but i knew i wasnt alone cuz that little angel that god blessed me with was there to keep me company

[jessicups]

Honestly maybe I'm weird, but that wouldn't bother me. I'm Canadian living with my husband in the states so obviously none of my family will be able to be there for the birth. I don't want many if any visitors to early anyways, just want to have time alone w DH and our kids.

[cadosanjos]

I feel the same way. I am a ftm, and I know my hubby will be there..but I still feel alone. My mother is in prison and we have a very broken relationship, and my sister (who doesn't have any kids) promised me that she would be there and then turned around and booked a cruise a week before my due date and then acted like I was being a ***** when I got upset! My grandmother told me that she could be there for me...but what if I go into labor in the middle of the night? I would feel awful dragging her out of bed! My grandparents pass out at 10pm every single night-- no exceptions! But I feel your pain. I know that we are going to get through all of this just fine but it still is scary going in alone!

I have  no family.  My mom passed away 2 years ago so its very bitter sweet. My husband  lost his mom when he was 3. We have no grandmother for this baby. And its just us and my daughter. Im asking my doc if she can come in with my c section too. I feel bad having her in the hall waiting. Shes 12 so she would  be ok with  what she sees.

[Carlamorales1992]

I feel ur pain....
all I have is my son and my fiance, and I don't even have someone to watch my son while I'm in the operating room getting my c section... it *****

[samanthaL2014]

I'm sorry u have to go though that. My family probably won't go to mine but are at my sisters with no problems. I'm upset to the point of crying they haven't been here at all for me though out the whole pregnancy so why should I thing labor would be any different. I'm just so upset.

[aaliyahxo]

My family is gonna be on vacation too. My mom said she figured I didn't need her so she's off with her new bf. I'm sorry, it really does suck thinking they won't be there, but think of it as your new little family, you'll feel blessed no matter what :)

[CarryingMyLove]

I understand. All of my family just notes. . . OUT OF STATE. I can't lie, I am a little scared.
