Giving birth without husband present

Hi. Any mummies decided to go through the birthing process without having their husband around / witnessing it? If you did, how did it turned out? #advicepls

I delivered my no.1 in isolation because i had a high fever. normal delivery. My husband wasn't allowed inside before during and after the birth of my girl. He just sat in the waiting anxiously room for baby arrival. my isolation nurse was really helpful. she would sit by the isolation room door and attend to me immediately when i need assistance. cus when ur waterbag bursts, u will be bedbound all the way till u deliver. the same nurse will check fr dialation, tell me to pee, and teach me the proper technique to push and assist the dr. my OBGYN was very helpful and patient. she would let me know tht i can rest in between push if im tired, adjust the aircon temp, and really encouraging throughout my delivery. after delivery, i was put into isolation room also. so my husband had to go home after that because he couldn't enter either. i put all my emotions aside and focused on the process. my defence mechanism didnt even allow me to cry or scream even when the baby is out. lol. i only started feeling emotional when my husband can finally visit us the following day. if u happened to deliver by yourself, just stay calm, breathe, and focus. most importantly, believe in yourself. i delivered at kkh btw.
