Yes that is my only option I think
I think I'll definitely be Giving birth alone

Whilst I don’t want to make light of your situation, my husband was at the birth of all 3 of our kids and I can categorically say he was absolutely useless. Comedy gold moments include, but not limited to:
1. Commenting as I’m bent double over the side of the bed (in absolute agony) having an epidural ‘
that needle is about 3 times longer than I expected’ (thanks..
twit..that helps)
2. Post birth, midwife offers some tea and toast as there was a delay till we could get down to the ward, and he replies “
That’d be great thanks....I‘m starved.” Even she laughed.
3. As I’m being stitched up from a 2nd degree tear, midwife apologises for the delay and says “I just want to get it absolutely right, if you know what I mean.” (I presume from this that my bits are like some horrible, complicated, broken puzzle
).Husband says “
Thanks....I don’t think we’ll be getting back in the saddle for a while, but good to get it all right eh.” As if she’s sewing my vagina back together for the benefit of his sexual pleasure.
Husbands are lovely, but in my experience fairly rubbish in these scenarios. Wishing you the best for your birth xxxxx
