[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its a safety issue, where is the issue?  I'd rather be safe and have my baby safe than take a risk.[/quote]

Of course.but it's still traumatic to labor alone and deliver alone especially in this climate[/quote]

I understand; however, if you are in this position, know that in an actually traumatic delivery, I do not remember my DH being there (though he was) -- I remember the voices of the nurses. You will be focused on one thing only. Also, if you go in assuming that being with only the nurses will make it traumatic, then it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Change your attitude and adapt, so that if it comes to this you are in control of your own response to the situation. It does not have to be traumatic. It is not just about you and your birth experience anymore; your child is coming into the world in challenging times, and you need to keep everyone who is not vital away from your baby if you can. You also need to do your part to keep the L&D medical staff healthy so they can help the moms and babies who come after you this Spring and summer.[/quote]
