Alone sucks. Although having someone you don’t really want there sucks worse. My last one her father almost missed her birth and the nurses and doctors tried to make it to where I didn’t even miss it so as long as you have a good birthing staff you can make it through anything. But to be honest my best birthing experience was with just my mom when I had my second. I had all c-sections and she was in the OR with me and it was the best experience of my life

It sucks so much and you’re already emotional but the moment you see your baby it makes it better. I had a great nursing staff and even two that stayed over their shift to be with me when he was born.

I was alone for most if my second labour except for the last 10 mins, I preferred it, I could focus on relaxing through the contractions without the pressure of explaining myself or talking. It helped me to stay calm and focused and I didn’t need any drugs or intervention at all. I think it’s very personal, I preferred to be by myself but I know the first time I was scared and appreciated the support.

It was lonely and emotional, Granted I was having csections and in a foreign country where not even the doctors or nurses could speak the same language as me. My husband and I’m laws were out it the waiting room though.
