Her Husband Blamed Her For Their Accidental Pregnancy And Hasn’t Been Supportive At All, So She Doesn’t Want Him In The Delivery Room
This 38-year-old woman and her husband, who is 40, already have three kids together. But she’s currently pregnant again, so their fourth is on the way.
They weren’t actually planning to have any more children, though, which is why the pregnancy came as a big shock. In fact, they’d made sure to use protection, so both she and her husband were very surprised.
Moreover, her husband actually had the nerve to “blame” her for the pregnancy, and in the beginning, he kind of iced her out over it.
“Months went by, and he seemed to accept the fact that we were going to have another baby. Or so I thought,” she said.
Throughout her pregnancy, her husband just hasn’t really been there for her. He only attended one doctor’s appointment with her. And, of course, it was for the major ultrasound appointment – which takes place at 22 weeks.
Aside from that, her husband hasn’t bothered showing up for any more appointments, and he never asks how they went.
“He’s never wanted to feel the baby move, and he’s never even bought the baby anything,” she added.
Rather, she and her family members have just been buying all the baby’s furniture and essentials together.
Plus, over the past two months, her husband has been very consistently cold and distant.

So, she thinks his attitude is horrible. She also doesn’t feel like she can talk to him about the issue because, whenever she’s tried to in the past, he just gets defensive and claims that “everything” is always his fault.
Thankfully, her oldest daughter – who is 18 years old – has been very excited about her pregnancy and extremely supportive. On top of that, her daughter even wants to be in the room when she gives birth, which is going to happen via c-section.
That’s why, given her husband’s actions over the last few months, she’s considering asking him not to be in the delivery room and just taking her daughter instead.
“I feel like with all the negativity he’s giving off, it’s going to sour my birthing experience with my last baby,” she vented.
Still, she just isn’t sure if asking her husband not to be there when their final child is born would be justified or make her a real jerk.
Do you think it’s fair that her husband blamed her for the pregnancy? Does he deserve to be in the delivery room after how he’s been acting? What would you do in her shoes?
