I understand where you're coming from, my little one will be about 16 mths. I bet any of your female neighbours would not mind in the lest if they got a knock on the door at 3am for emergency help. Its amazing how people really rally together during this time.

The other option you may want to think about is doing the ante natal course at the hospital. I know its your second but then you might find someone to help. My sister is now very close to 2 couples from her course and still sees them (2 years later) and one of my best friends is someone I met at my class (12 months ago).

***My hubby's suggestion "Are you in the Point Cook area?"....what a sweetie.
