[quote=Anonymous]Lots of people don’t have family close. Many friends have family fly in, even from Asia and Europe. I have 3 kids and laboring alone doesn’t really seem all that bad now that I’ve done it 3 times. My older kids were in school when I went to labor early. My husband was working and almost missed the birth. Our friends picked up our kids from school and kids had a sleepover. It was my second child’s first sleepover. You can have a paid village if you don’t have family or friends. I’ve heard of several stories where baby came so fast that mom gave birth alone before dad could get to hospital. Our one friend had a third child in her bathroom. She was waiting for local grandparents to come in middle of the night and baby came too fast.[/quote]
