She’s Asking A Stranger To Be In The Room With Her When She Delivers Her Baby Instead Of Her Husband
Is getting married the ultimate life goal? To some people, the answer is yes. However, before your special day arrives, it is essential to have in-depth conversations on what goals you both want to achieve one day in the future after marriage.
One of the most important topics to discuss is children. If one person in the relationship does not want children, you may want to reevaluate before things get too serious.
When the day finally arrives and the pink lines appear in full bloom, there can be mixed emotions for the mother and father. Fear of responsibility is one of the top concerning points. In addition, many in this situation experience intrusive thoughts that make them feel like they are unfit to raise a human being.
Men and women often react differently in this situation. However, when you hear the news for the very first time, especially with your husband, it is supposed to be exciting!
But, what do you do if your partner does not accept the child if this is not the case?
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question.
Three months ago, a woman found out she was pregnant, and her husband was less than thrilled.
While he does not want her to terminate, he has become very distant since finding out that they are expecting.
Her husband works a lot, and with the awkward distance between them, she has reached out to a friend online who has been very supportive throughout this process. The only downfall is that she lives in another country.

While addressing the situation with her husband, he decided that he did not want to attend any ultrasound appointments and absolutely did not care about the “pregnancy part.”
Ouch.
Crying to her friend online, she later found that her pen pal generously paid for a doula, a non-medical support system who is just a phone call or text away if the soon-to-be-mother needed anything.
Both of her parents have passed, so she is truly alone in this situation. The doula is also welcome to attend the birth.
With everything going on in the world, the delivery room in her area is currently only allowing one person to attend the birth. With her husband being less than supportive, she considers having the doula there instead of him.
I mean, what would you do in this situation?
Since her husband has not been involved, she decided to ask him if he would mind if the doula was there instead. He flipped out in disbelief and told her no.
He then told his brother about the situation, and the brother told him that his wife was a piece of work, and it would be a completely awful move if she did not let him attend the delivery.
Her online pen pal told her to bring the doula. She also mentioned that she does not understand the husband’s reaction and that her own husband would personally never act this way.
Her other friend told her it would be wrong to leave her husband behind.
Should he be allowed at the birth if he does not want to be a part of the appointments or the “pregnancy part” of the process?
