a little nervous about this weekend....

My husband is gone this weekend so I am by myself. (he's only 3 hours away but...) I know it may seem a little silly but I don't know anyone close. We moved not to long ago and I have been working instead of trying to get to know people. (my bad, I know) I'm just hoping nothing big happens until he gets back. I have been having contractions for the last two day. They aren't really time-able yet...i guess I'm just nervous.... sorry I had to get it out.

    Definitely call your doctor if they get stronger or closer together. You can always call for an ambulance if you need to. Are you able to get ahold of your husband if you need to?

    Yes and he would race home. I guess I'm just being a little selfish in wanting him with me when I'm feeling like this.

    I don't think that's selfish at all. I hate when my husband is gone for very long. Especially these days!

    Drink a lot of water and the contractions will go away or at least be less frequent unless it's the real thing.  I would be scared too.  I get nervous when DH goes to work (10 minutes away) and I'm at home by myself.

    I understand how you feel - my DH is currently a little over 3 hours away. We live away from our family too and while we have lots of friends here, I'm not sure I'd want them as my birth partner.

    Hang in there xx

    Do you have someone to drive you to the hospital just in case?

    I;m sorry. I'd be nervous too.

    Thank you for the info. I will try it. What makes this so ironic is that I wanted him to start coming.... maybe LO was listening.

    I could call my doula. I'm sure she would.

    My dh  is away as well, and we live where we know no one.  I am alone with my two DDs, and I have a few acquaintances close by, none i want to help me deliver my LO.  I am also terrified as my previous two labours have been VERY fast, with no warning signs, and early as well.  Hubby is 3 hours away, and if anything happened he would miss it!
