we're facing this possibility with DH not being at the birth - he works up to 30 hours drive away from home, so if i go into labour early, i will be labouring without him there. it scares me, but i figure ultimately he is going to be there for our babies life and that's more important to me. he will be working away when bub's arrives, so will have to work on bonding with baby while he can - it's going to be hard, but we'll work it out

i think you'll be fine - find a doula if you can - someone you can have something of a connection with before you go into the hospital to give birth so that you're comfy. your partner will be there with you in spirit, and will be with you as soon as he can

take it easy hun - and try not to let it stress you out too much...
