alone in birthing unit

[mrshoy]

Has anyone been in thr birthing unit on there own. With out a support partner. Is it hard and you wish you had someone there. Or you coped on your own.

I was alone...because I had to be.
If you'll be alone don't worry when your baby gets there no one else will matter anyway

My fiance couldn't be there when our son was born a few months ago and at first I' did want anyone but when it got closer I changed my mind. I had my little sister mom, aunt and best friend there with me while I pushed. And a bunch of family and friends ds in the waiting room who came in and out to see me before pushing time and after. It will definitely make u feel better to have someone there to hold your hand when the time comes. Good luck!

If you arrive with no one,  ask the hospital for a partner.  I was a volunteer birth companion for a LOT of women who arrived alone.  Honestly,  you don't want to do this alone,  and you will be a blessing for a woman who wants to support you through this.  The blessings go both ways.

Don't you have anyone you are close too?Sister, mother, best friend? It will probably be better to have some type of support.

Thanks guy. It's a hard decision to make.

I thought id hate it on my own so my mum and sis came and that was the worst choice i ever made they did nothing but anoy me and still now 4 years latter tell everyone how ussless i was in labour and birth an that i was just a big joke. I had an un medicated birth where my son was assisted buy a suction cap on his hea becouse i could not push him out on my own. His umbilical cord was tied like a noose aroun hin neck and the doctor didnt know untill after he was born. The doctor thinks that somehow my body knew and thats why no matter how hard i tried to push i couldent my muscles just wouldent work.

I have the same question in my mind how it's going to be alone as my husband is away in other country for study reason and I'm due in january living with my inlaws but I don't want anyone else with me during
labour and its my first time so worried

You'll want someone there. However, if you don't have that option, usually, the nursing staff will rally around you and become an amazing support system for you.
