I'm starting to believe every pregnancy is going to be stressful as hell and I'm never going to be able to have it how I want it.. My sister-in-law was visiting for a week with us so she could watch our daughter while I gave birth. We honestly all thought baby boy would be here already so we thought the week would be enough. We were wrong. She left today because she starts back college on Tuesday and she has to go and figure all that stuff out and she lives 4 1/2 hours away. I understand completely why she couldn't stay longer. It just sucks now because we don't have anyone to watch our daughter if baby boy shows up unexpectedly. All the people we trust have to work or go to school, or both. We have no family or friends where we live. Everyone is 3-5 hours away. I have my appointment tomorrow to check my progress and even though I'm more than ready to have my son I'm nervous now because we don't have anyone to help us out. I don't want to get there and be told I can be induced then be stuck because no babysitter. My husband told me to ask my mom but that's not even an option. She's the reason my daughter was born early because she caused me so much stress. We just don't have a good relationship and I don't want her here. I get we're in a bind at the moment but I'm not going to feel comfortable leaving my daughter with her alone. Our last resort is me delivering alone and my husband wait in the waiting room with our daughter. He already missed her birth because he was in training for the Army. I'd hate for him to miss another birth when he's actually here. I just don't know what to do.. I've asked everyone I possibly could other than my cousin but she's terrified of driving on the interstate so I'm not even going to attempt to ask. I'm kind of hoping I don't have him for another week just so we can find someone to watch our daughter for us. Otherwise this is going to be yet another birth experience to be ruined..
She's 1, almost 2. She can't be in the room while I'm delivering but she can be before and after. We got lucky and have a friend who agreed to watch her for us so everything worked out 😊 @bianca_rose
