[quote=Anonymous]For Pete's sake. The OP is not talking about making friends who can be at her birth. She's talking about making friends who she and her DH can call on to watch the kids so DH is by her side at the birth. OP, the people I know who have no nearby family either spend $$ to hire nannies and sitters, or they exert a lot of energy cultivating friendships with people. It's hard to do that as an adult, and even harder if you're not an extrovert. You have to be open and authentic with people as well as generous with your own time and resources - help others and they will be willing to help you. I'm very introverted so I struggle with this, but my DH is extroverted so that helps a lot.[/quote]
