She Doesn’t Want To Wait For Her Husband To Drive Her To The Hospital If She Goes Into Labor, And He’s Upset About It
This 23-year-old woman is currently eight months pregnant and getting very close to her due date. So, while she was out with some of her friends just yesterday, the topic of her delivery came up.
Her friends also asked what would happen if she suddenly went into labor while her 24-year-old husband was not there.
She didn’t hesitate and told her husband that if he was over 20 minutes away, then she would just ask one of her friends to take her to the hospital. Then, she would simply meet him there.
To her surprise, though, her husband was not okay with that. Instead, he actually expected her to wait for him to drive home, pick her up, and travel to the hospital!
Now, this concerns her for one major reason.
“This is my second pregnancy, and I gave birth to my firstborn pretty quickly. So, I am afraid that this one would be born just as quickly or even quicker than my last,” she explained.
Still, after she tried to tell her husband that she just could not wait for him for longer than 20 minutes, he just became all upset. Then, for the entire ride home from the hangout with their friends, he was silent.
She cannot fully understand his attitude, either.
“Like, I get it, he wants to be part of the moment, but what if I were to have complications or I give birth outside of the hospital because I waited?” she reasoned.

Not to mention, she and her husband have already had past discussions about their travel plan when she goes into labor. Apparently, her husband only works about five minutes away from the hospital.
So, if he was at work, then she planned to just have a friend or family member bring her there. After all, what’s the point in her husband going to get her if he’s already practically at the hospital?
“And if I was put in that situation, I would probably just tell him that I was on the way or already at the hospital,” she admitted.
Still, with her husband acting so distraught over this, she’s now wondering whether not wanting to wait for him to drive her to the hospital actually makes her the jerk.
Do you agree that 20 minutes seems too long to wait for a ride to the hospital? Can you understand why her husband wants to be there? Even so, should she be the one waiting or calling the shots?
