Anybody have a little one maybe 2/3 ? I have a two y/o and currently 32 weeks with my second & I never leave her anywhere with anyone because people can be so careless . We all know toddlers are quick !! Im not sure who I will leave her with when I go to have baby #2 and Im a nervous wreck . I was thinking of just leaving her in the waiting room with my husband / her dad whenever I have to start pushing since unfortunately she cant be in there for that ( i hate that my husband woud have to miss out ) . Any of you mommas did the same ?
@showersoverflowers, there will be some family , my mom for sure . An activity bag is a very good idea , so maybe whenever it hits time for me to push my mom and daughter can go to the waiting room . I will definetly be making and activity bag , never thought of it . Thanks ! I def dont want dad to miss out
if you have family in the area I'd see if someone is willing to come watch her. I have a plan in place for if I go into labor over the weekend we have my husbands kids..
My son will be in the waiting room with family but not daddy. This moment is way too important to take away from him. You really want your hubby there so he can bond with baby right away too. Just pack an activity bag for her so that she has what she needs. if she is not usually away from you, she will just want to snuggle with family until she can see you.
there you go! that's what we are doing with our 2 year old. I don't want him to miss out on seeing his baby sibling right away but he is two and would definitely take off down the hall with the forceps if he was in the delivery room haha
