Pregnant with a toddler, no family in the state, curious on anyone who’s experienced this and what to do with my son when I’m in labor, bring him with us? Or just be alone while my husbands home with him? Completely stressed about this one

I'd labor at home as long as possible then take him with you to hospital. Once your outta delivery I'd send your husband home with you eldest until your discharged.

Other option do you have a neighbor you could trust with your child until your outta delivery

I would find a babysitter and have her start staying with him now. That way he will be in used to her when the time comes. Bonus that you have someone you trust to watch if needed for whatever else comes up

Can you hire a doula? Most hospitals won’t let a child in the labor unit. At least with a doula you have a professional to support you and could watch your toddler as part of that support.
