Single mum labour

Hello single mummies out there, how was your birth/ labour like? Did a family member such as mum accompany you? I don’t have a close relation with my mum, and I do feel awkward with her. I feel like going through the whole birth session alone. Is that recommended? TIA!

I did it all alone even though I have a husband. From the registration, admitting myself, delivery suite and going in to the ops room. (csect btw) We argued days before so I told him that he doesnt need to come as I will be resting after the ops. He said that even if he was there, he couldnt do anything. Well, there is a thing that you can do. Its called 'BEING THERE'. Idiotic I know. Nurses & Doctors will be there to help you as much as they could. They wont see ur status whether single or married. I can still vividly remember a surgeon was holding my shoulder telling me that I am doing great, when I think he saw tears rolling down my cheek midway during the ops.
