Childcare Arrangements when Labour comes

[skimpy]

OK, maybe some of you are worrying about this too or maybe I'm the only one...

I live over 100 miles away from anyone I know except my partner (we just relocated for his work)

What will I do with our 2 y.o. when I pop? Do they have facilities within hospitals to help out? Obviously didnt have this problem 1st time round, and family were on hand, but this time, I'm in a state worrying about it.

My mum and sis-in-law have taken holidays around my due date, but that doesnt mean they will be around when it happens, i might go before, or after my due date.


Anyone else in the same boat, or can you share your experience?

Thanks xx

No advice Hun sorry but no hospitals don't so you will have to make your own arrangements xx

Thanks. Its such a nightmare, i mean, i can call family and they will be here in 2.5 hours, but if i go quicker than that it looks like i will have to go through it on my own and let OH take care of our son. not something i am looking forward to

Luckily I got family around but my mum is also gonna be there while I'm in labour so it's gonna be my poor dad looking after Lacey!! I'm hoping I'm not in labour at like 3am cos it means he'll have to cone sit down my house!
