[quote=Anonymous]OP, I went into labor in the wee hours and my baby-sitter didn't answer her phone. So my husband and my 5yo came with me to the hospital and they stayed in the waiting room while I had the baby. It worked out fine for us because we had already agreed that he wouldn't be in the room this time and my 5yo thought it was an adventure. The baby came, her sister got to hold her, and they went home to sleep. However that was me. It is important to you to have your husband there, so in your case, I would fly someone in to stay with you for a week or so before your due date, to be there for your oldest when you go into labor. Do you have a family member who could do that for you? A mother, sister, aunt, etc?[/quote]
