Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether a toddler would cope with being present at the birth? My DS will be 2y10mo at the time of the birth. My sister is available to care for him, but I'm not sure whether it will be at home or at her house (or a bit of both). I have some concerns about him wanting me and me then not being able to labour whilst he's there. Is there any literature in this? Any thoughts? Am I being unnecessarily anxious?!

TIA.
