No partner/husband during labour - Im scared

[reneenay]

Hello there

Im not sure if I am posting this in the right forum?

I was just wondering if there are any women out there who have given birth without their partner/husband with them?
My DH is planning to go to the mines before the baby is born and I am petrified and I mean PETRIFIED of going through labour without him. He will be taking a month off, 2 weeks before my due date and 2 weeks after. But I needed to explain to him last night that babies don’t always come on time.

I don’t know if I can do it by myself without him by my side, although my mum will be with me (only if he isnt there). And I don’t know if I can forgive him if he isn’t there. How can you miss your son or daughters birth? How can you not be there for your partner?
