Hi all, I m a bit scared abt delivery. I stay alone with my hubby in a rented house. I have no family members to help me post delivery. Is it really important to have someone to help me with baby?? I mean I hv taken care of myself through out the pregnancy alone. Pls reply im lil worried.

Hi Srisha, taking care of a new born alone though is not easy I am sure it can be done. It’s good that you have maids for your household chores, but as suggested above consider keeping a full time Maushi too at least for the first month. After that you can decide if you need her or not. The main problem is sleep deprivation which makes us very irritable and this is not good both for the Mom and the baby. So the maid ( trusted one) can hold the baby for sometime while you take rest or sleep. Don’t stress much now. Be calm. Even if you get no help be confident and patient. You will manage well.

Dear Srisha sorry to hear about your parents.. I know you need them at this hour. What about your in laws? You need some help for sure but if you are confident and well prepared then you can do it. Ritu gave you good ideas.. Do introduce bottles do that you can pump and ask your husband to feed. Do anything to make life easier.. Use diapers all the time that will reduce bit of your work. We are here to help.. Ask us anything anytime we will assist you. All the best!

Hi srisha.<br>
I also have been managing pregnancy alone. Whether it's fever or any other calamity i have dealt with it despite of the fact the my in laws stay kust in the opp bldg but still i have no hope. Mom stays in the same city but i don't get to stay with her much as hubby cannot be left alone for food, office , tiffin etc. Stay strong. Thats what can help us. From the past two days i am just on bed alone trying to kill time and feel better. Went to doc yest but still not feeling better. My bp has remained low for all these 2days. Extremely fatigued and iritated. <br>
However post delivery will be the real challenge. Which city do you live in? What have you planned with post delivery as you are alone. Can your sister be at your place for some weeks atleast. I am assuming yoi will deliver aeound summer vacation so can ur sister be there. How old is she? Let's figure out ways we can deal this with. I am sure things will turn out good.
