I wasn't alone during my delivery but I was alone right afterwards and I uderstand how hard it can be with a new baby by yourself even if you ar enot a new mother. But you will get through it and everything will okay. Once you get there and your labor starts you won't even care. I am sure if you tell the nurses the situation that they will come hold your hand if you need help with anything. What state do you live in? You know your situation made me think maybe we should start some sort of group for moms who are going to be alone during their delivery, have someone come sit with them so that they won't alone. Maybe they could meet before the baby is born and get to know each other and then help each other out when they are going through labor and delivery. Labor and delivery can be so scary especially if you end up having complications. IDk just an idea.

I understand how you feel! Leading up to DD's birth, I was terrified that I'd have her at home alone, not have a way to the hospital, or give birth on the way to the hospital. I didn't worry too much about being alone at the hospital. lol I told a girl friend to meet me at the hospital and my mom took me then left to go back to get DS. When I got to the hospital, things were moving so quickly I couldn't even tell you when my friend got there or what she did. There were so many people in and labor went so quickly that I really think I would've been ok if my friend didn't make it. She didn't stay long and I LOVED the extra bonding time with just me and DD for most of our stay. I'm sure you'll do fine! :)
