SAHM with no helper/ relative during labour and need to care for the elder child.

I am sailing on the same boat .. will be going to deliver in couple of weeks .. we don’t have any other option without our partner still we can go to labour , as here the hospitals r best we don’t need any extra family members hand . But since we need our partner beside us atleast till deliver .. u May can keep ur older one in ur frnds house just for couple of hours .. as I am doing the same . We don’t have any other option

arrange for caretaking within the hospital? Maybe can check with them. Even though i personally don’t know if they have such arrangements. But I would ask just to see if there’s a chance that’s smth they offer

What about sending ur #1 to ur in laws or ur parents during ur labour to stay for 1-2 night?
