No birth partner?

Lexx · Nov 23rd, 2009, 08:46 AM

Ok so carrying on from the going to scans alone thread has anyone given birth alone?

I am not pregnant at mo but when I am I will be doing it alone donnor sperm etc and I think I'd liek to be alone at the birth, what do others think of this?

What about your mum or something?

Midwives are busy down the other end, you need someone to hold your hand IMO x

I'm having my mum and my best friend with me when I'm giving birth. Personally I don't like the thought of going through labour alone. xx

I'm having my best friend. My mum will be waiting outside the room!

Do you not have someone like that to do it with you? Friend, mum, sister? You can even hire a professional birth partner (doula). Personally I wouldn't like to go it alone!

My dad came to scans with me and my mum was my birthing partner.

I couldn't of done it without someone there.

See the idea of my mum or sister being there makes me feel physicaly sick, a friend wouldn't be so bad I guess. I really want to do it on my own tho.
