Hey Gatsby, As he's still unemployed (the job market here is baaaad) I cannot get Child Support. I will ask for it as soon as he is earning. I am assuming he wants a non role in the birth- otherwise he would have asked, right? I invited him to come to all the classes and be part of it in the beginning... don't want to be a broken record. As for meeting the baby, again he has not asked for anything yet.I plan to call him or have a relative call him while i'm in labour, and then he'll get another call letting him know when we are ready for his visit. Does that sound fair?
Good on you for doing your list! I need to pack a hoppy bag, tomorrow I am meeting with the my private midwife to go through the birth plan (wish I'd done this earlier cos am more fuzzy headed these days), and practice, practice, practice my deep breathing. yikes.
