I'm due to give birth for the second time on the 2nd of april and I'm going to be alone for the birth,my foster mom can't be with me as she has young children to look after and obviously my foster dad can't be there and I'm not with the father of this baby anymore.What do I do?

Talk to your OB/GYN or midwife about a doula. They are women you help you through the birth.

i think what maranda suggested would be a great option for you. some are pretty pricy however if you do speak to your midwife or doctor they may know a doula who needs to have completed assisting women in at least 3 births before becoming certified. you can see if they know of any. they will do it for free and will make your birthing experience as wonderful as possible and, will stick up for you and your birth plan, explain options and take pictures for you if you so wish. my friend had a doula and she said she would recommend it to anyone who might be alone. our husbands are navy so we had no clue if they would be home or not for the birth of our children. my mom and grandma where there even though my hubby ended up making it just in time! i'm sorry you wont have your family with you and ill be thinking and praying for you!

I totally agree with the doula idea. It might help if you find out if the hospital allows younger visitors, then you can have them come afterwards? Just talk to someone in the maternity ward, maybe they can help you come up with a solution? Good luck, and you can message me if you ever want to talk. :]
