Hi all;

So Im thinking that our support person for DD has fallen through today. its a long story but it seems like its all too hard for her to get in here in time! And at the moment we cannot think of anyone to look after her, well anyone that we want to look after her anyhow!
So now we are thinking of taking DD into the birthing room with us. DH has said that he would be more than happy to look after her and me throughout, and if she needs to be taken out of the room than he would do that, he just wants to cut the cord really!

However, upon our first earlier on, the midwife told us that the hospital prefers it if children are not brought into the brithing room.

So DD is 2, I dont know how she will handle it, but than again i didnt know how I or DH would handle it the first time round....

can we take her in, should we take her in?
Also how can I prepare her in these final days before bub arrives?

Thank you

Justine
