My husband has decided in my last few weeks of pregnancy that he is not in a "good place" emotionally right now. As a result, I don't feel like I can count on him to help me through the delivery and afterwards. I don't want to spend the money on a Doula ($800), my parents are not the type to be good in the delivery room, and I have no close friends locally that could help. I also am embarassed by this whole situation, and don't really want to drag others into it. Is it unusual to show up to deliver a baby alone? Can it be done? My husband went to Lamaze with me, but he was miserable and thinks it's all a bunch of BS. I just don't think I can rely on him to be supportive and help out. I am even thinking of asking a cousin of mine to come help take care of the baby afterwards. Any advice?
