Hello! My husband wasn't around when I was pushed to the delivery suite (admitted 3 days earlier due to PPROM) so I called him to come down to the hospital. So he was with me when I was in labour but had to leave after I gave birth to fetch our kids home from his parents cos it's already night time and the kids has school the next day. That was the first time I was left alone. He was always there before and after birth with our previous pregnancies but due to the above reason, he can't stay. I was exhausted from the labour so I just bade him goodbye & sleep. You won't be alone actually cos the nurses will come to check on you every now & then until they push you to the maternity ward. For me I chose B2 ward cos I prefer to have other patients with me although it can be a little tad noisy with the cries from other babies but I don't mind at all as long as I don't have to sleep alone 😅

No problem! Trust me you don't have time to feel alone cos you'll be very exhausted from the labour, all you want is to sleep. Even if your hub can't make it to your labour, it's fine! The nurses & midwife/gynae are there for you, to hold your hands/head to support you. But again what is peace when you're staying in the hospital, right? Of course the nurses will keep checking on your temperature & your bp to make sure you're alright.
