Last week, I made a simple request on the Mommy Shorts fanpage. I asked for all the ridiculous stuff your husbands pulled while you were in labor. You know, the stuff you still hold over his head.
For instance, Mike made me wait in the lobby of our building while he went to get a cup of coffee from the bodega across the street. When they were out (it was 2am after all), HE WAITED FOR THEM TO BREW A FRESH POT.
I was asking in honor of my pregnant sister (aka Dr. B) and planning on posting some watch-outs for my very nervous brother-in-law before the big event. Unfortunately, real life doesn’t always abide by my blogging schedule and sis gave birth last Friday night! (More on my adorable new nephew later this week.)
Judging from the two phone calls I had with Uncle B while she was in labor (one in which he was right by her side at the hospital and the other in which he was buying her a box of popsicles), I’d say he didn’t screw his job up nearly as bad as most of your husbands did.
You all left 237(!) examples of crazy crap your husbands pulled while you were in labor. After reading through all of them (and seriously, YOU SHOULD READ THROUGH ALL OF THEM, the thread might be the best thread ever), I have one questionâ What about the phrase “9cm dilated” makes men feel the need to abandon their unborn children to buy a sandwich???
From funny to divorce-worthy to I-would-totally-understand-if-your-husband-turned-up-dead, here are 28 of my favorite examples of “Crap Husbands Pull While Their Wives are in Labor”.
I wish I was making them up.
My husband and the doctor talked football the entire time I was pushing. As if I wasn’t even there, In front of them. Having. A. Baby. – Misty
My husband left me, when I was in labor, to go buy a PS3 (it was Black Friday). He will NEVER live that down. -Anne
When the nurses asked how bad the pain was from 1-10 and I said 10, my husband said “oh, come on it can’t be that bad. – Eileen
My husband went duck hunting and forgot to charge his cell phone. I went into labor while he was sitting in the bay, alone in a boat. When he came home and realized I was gone, he assumed I was just shopping or visiting family. So, he took a nap. I was prepped for emergency c-section and we had friends in boats out looking for him in the bay. SEARCH PARTIES. Finally, my Dad called the neighbors across the street to ask them to leave a note on the door of the house. While bringing the note over they saw his truck and had to go bang on our bedroom window to wake my stupid husband up. To this day I can’t even enjoy an episode of Duck Dynasty without wanting to smother him. – Rachell
I was in labor all night and ready to go in the morning. My husband was asleep in the chair and when they woke him up, he walked over to me and said, “My foot hurts.” REALLY? Get this man an epidural. – Michelle
My husband took a conference call on the way to the hospital. He asked me to please give him a signal before I had a contraction (and they were, oh, 90 seconds apart) so he could mute the call in time. I told him to either put the whole call on mute, tell them his wife was in active labor, or (and I strongly encouraged this), NOT TAKE THE DAMN CALL. -Meredith
My husband had ONE job, ONE. He needed to get directions to the hospital. It wasn’t until I went into labor in the middle of the night that I realized he dropped the ball. He tried to Mapquest the directions while driving down the highway and almost killed us. I told him if I missed my epidural window I would end his life. He took one too many wrong turns and we ended up in a dodgy end of town. After I threatened to divorce him 75 times, he finally asked for directions and got his pregnant wife to the hospital still pregnant. -Questionable Choices in Parenting
Mine was an emergency C-section. The husband was just getting off work when we found out I needed the surgery (4 weeks early with twins). We called to tell him to come immediately. He was about 4 minutes from the hospital but after 20 minutes he still hadn’t shown up. Another call revealed him sitting at home, eating a sandwich, and checking on his World of Warcraft “real quick”. -Angelia
My husband went downstairs to charge his phone and call his mom from the car. When I called him an hour later because I was 9 centimeters he said he was at Sam’s buying Tupperware. -Lucy
About 30 minutes after our son was born (a full 24 hours of labor) my husband told me he was going to head home for a bit because he was “exhausted”. – Joanish
My husband grew up on a cattle ranch, and during labor with our first he very confidently announced to the nurse that he wasn’t nervous at all “because I’ve seen this a million times with cows”. -Carrie
My husband rested the magazine he was reading on my legs while I lay dying WITHOUT an epidural. When I kicked it off and yelled at him to get whatever was touching me off, he responded with “it’s just a magazine. What else am I supposed to do?” -Tina
In the delivery room, my husband went into hypoglycemic shock because he hadn’t eaten in 48 hours. He almost passed out and had his own team of nurses and MY midwife helping him. -Tifffany
My husband took so many pictures of himself in the scrubs and mask (obviously super important to document) the camera battery was almost dead when we actually had the baby! I have pictures to prove it. -Stephanie
My husband started throwing up while I was pushing. The nurse ran out of room because she couldn’t handle it. -Lois
I was fully dilated after 18 hours and my husband said “you think you can hold out pushing until I grab some breakfast?” -Sarah
My husband grew this ridiculous goatee and wore a shirt that said TOERAG on it, so he looks ridiculous in all the photos. -Jennifer
We were out to a movie when my contractions started. Since our house is on the way to the hospital, we stopped to get our bags. I waited in the car while my husband went in… 5 minutes go by… 10 minutes… 15!!!!!! He finally comes back as I was about to go investigate (and by investigate, I mean cause bodily harm) and explained that he had food stuck in his teeth so he had been trying to floss it out!!!!!! Yeah. He’s a genius. -Amy
Mine watched TV with his face pressed against the screen because he couldn’t hear it over my pain noises! -Kirsti
My husband asked if he could “borrow one of my pillows”, because his back hurt and I had “too many”. -Parisa
When it was time to go to the hospital, my husband said he needed to shower and shave first. Seriously?? Fine. Then I asked him to wake our 3-year-old and get him ready for daycare. I waddle downstairs expecting everyone to be ready to leave and find them eating waffles and watching cartoons. I’M IN LABOR, PEOPLE!!! -Amy
At 3am, I decided it was time to go and my husband said he was getting up to get ready. I was on the bouncy ball for a half hour waiting and then went to check on him. He had fallen back asleep. -Jessica
My husband unabashedly complained about a canker sore while I was in labor. -Carrie
After I finally agreed to an epidural, the nurse explained that it would feel like a quick little bee sting. When she left, my husband says to me, very sweetly and earnestly, “I’ve had many epidurals, and I just want you to know, it doesn’t feel ANYTHING like a bee sting. It really hurts.” I replied, “What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you say that to me in THE THROES OF LABOR? -RealMomofNJ
Mine kicked me out of the car in the ambulance bay 9cm dilated with my bag and left me to traipse across the hospital and up two flights of stairs on my own because he didn’t want to pay for hospital parking. -Kate
Right after my c-section, my husband asked the nurse in the recovery room if he could just lay down on the floor, saying “I promise I won’t be in the way”. -Amber
My husband made me wait for him to finish watching Gladiator after my water broke. -One Funny Motha
While in labor with a placental abruption at 34 weeks, my husband says “I think you should calm down”. -Katie

After 13 hours of labor and a second degree episiotomy I delivered my daughter. While the doctor is repairing the episiotomy my husband has the nerve to ask the doc for a “courtesy stitch”….really!?!
You have to be kidding me!!! A “courtesy stitch” to make you tighter for his pleasure. What a selfish asshole. I hope you told him where to go and how to get there.
My ex left me for another woman when I was still in the first trimester. Fast forward a bunch of months, when I called to tell him he had a new baby girl, only to find that he had blocked my phone number. She’s a year old and he has still never even seen her, despite my attempts at forging a connection. Sorry my story isn’t funny at all.
my husband and I have 2 girls, 2 & 7 years old. He fell asleep in the delivery room while I was going through contractions… And this happened BOTH times!!! Right before I had our youngest, after I was told not to cough or sneeze because she was about to come out, I had to reach over and wake him up, then he goes, “Hold her in. I have to go pee!” ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? I told him whenever we have a 3rd child, his ass is going to be awake the whole time holding my hand. There’s no way I’m letting him sleep while I’m in labor the 3rd time!
Stress can actually make you fall asleep but he should have been ready, or jolted awake not long after. The comment is obviously inexcusable
I have a billion stories being a labor nurse for 30 yrs but my own I will add..I had known well in advance I was going to deliver in a diff hospital because of prematurity of all my children… I called after being medicated for active labor while getting ready for the ambulance..I called the dip to tell him but didnt take me seriously because of the drugs so MANY hrs after delivery, he decided to show up…
This site really has all of the information and facts I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
After spending a few days on the beach I finally went into labor. Unfortunately, my husband had gotten a sunburn and complained the entire time about how much it hurt! I was at 8cm when he decided he could no longer take the pain and called his mom to bring him some aloe vera!!!!! I was going to kill him! Not only did he complain more than his laboring wife but he invited the MOTHER IN LAW to the hospital while I was still in labor -_-
These are great. My story is about my Father. When he fainted at the entrance of the delivery room, his brother, my uncle stepped in to take his place at my Mom’s side. He held me before my Dad did. I love them both.
yeah, so confessing Dad here. I was in a really bad car accident a week prior to my wife giving birth. I had a rod, plate and about 15 screws in my leg.
I made it to the delivery, but was really out of it because of all the pain meds.
I called my husband at work to tell him I was in labor – he told me he didn’t have the type of job where he could just leave whenever he wanted. After some choice words I hung up, waited 4 hours timing my contractions alone and then Called him back, yeah he hadn’t bothered to check in me and tell him I was going to the hospital at 7am – he came home slept for 3 hours and them drove me to the hospital. To this day I still pissed off
With my first child, I walked the halls from 1 to 6 am while he slept in a chair. We are about to be sent home and the nurse walks out of the room and my water broke. So now I can’t leave. A few hours go by and at 11, he looked at me and said, ” I have to take that areator back I rented yesterday or I’m gonna have to pay a late fee. You stay here and I will be back later.” He made it back 15 minutes before our son was born and I had been talked into letting student doctors watch the birth.
My husband was nowhere to be found. This was before cell phones. My mom had to take me to hospital. When someone finally located him, he had been with his girlfriend. Wasnt that sweet of him. What a jerk. Divorced him.
On the way to have the baby, my wife noticed the life flight helicopter has its blades spinning and said she was glad it was ready to go. I said “don’t be ridiculous. It would never get off the ground…”
My husband was a cop in a small town in California. When I was in labor with my first, we heard a loud crash outside our door (I was having a major contraction.) After the contraction, we opened the door and saw a man running across our yard being chased by a fellow cop. My cop-husband, in his tshirt, shorts and slippers, left without saying a word and ran after the guy. I thought I was going to be a single mom. He had no vest or gun. He came back a few minutes later bragging, “We got him.” I just yelled … “I don’t care if Americas Most Wanted comes to the door. Don’t you leave me again!!”

I was at the hospital all day in labor with our twins ( 8weeks early) , my husband wanted to watch his Monday night WWE wrestling so we did. The Dr came in announced that we have to get the babies out now due to complications all this my husband is not paying any attention. Gives us c- sections instruction for both of us and walks out. Hubby finally looks at me and says are we going home now? No food, in pain all day I was ready to shoot him!
My sister and husband don’t have the best relationship I only mention it because it’s important. With our first daughter I was induced. He was tired from work so I told him to sleep in the beginning because if I needed support my mom and sister were there. Once the pitocin started (15 hours later) the labor got rough but I didn’t want meds. I asked him to lock eyes with me to help breathe but he said the position I was in “hurt his back and he couldn’t see the NBA finals” so he sat behind me. My sister jumps in and really helped me through the next 2 days (yes I said 2 days with no meds) of labor. He had an attitude the whole time because he said I put my sister before him while we were having our child and I should have just labored the way he had planned and it wouldn’t have been so hard. Like I can plan how labor goes I tried to choke him between contractions. 98 total hours and a c section later our daughter was born. He will NEVER live that down. He did much better with the second child and I didn’t have to try to kill him.
After 18 hours of labor with our first son my husband said, “I’m tired and uncomfortable. I am going to go home now and get something to eat and some sleep. CALL ME WHEN THE BABY IS COMING!” Now this was in 1992 and there were no cell phone nor any phone in the labor room. I told him if you leave the baby will have my maiden name and I will be filling for divorce.
My husband is a commercial airline pilot and was scheduled to leave for a three day trip the morning I went in to labor. At the time we lived in York Pa., which made the drive to the airport about 45 mins. After letting him know that I was 98% sure labor had begun my husband became distracted and quiet. Since this was our third child I was confident that becoming a father (again) was not causing his disconnect, so I left him alone with his thoughts and made sure our sons had what they wanted & needed for their stay at a friend’s home. About 30 mins after letting my husband be, he finds me and says, “I’ve worked the time out, and am confident I can do the first leg of my block and deadhead back before you deliver, it’s a short flight to Chicago. How would you feel about that? Do you think I could make it? You aren’t even positive you’re in labor, right?” Not only was I preparing to give birth, and getting our other children ready, but I was also supposed to figure out his junk and give my blessing regarding going to work and possibly not being there? I’ve never felt so unimportant.

I was wondering before now why people talk more about him, before I tested and he proved his powers. Am offering praises to Doc Osaze, though I havenât met him face to face, but his spiritual powers penetrated deep inside me. One thing I like most about him is he is âa man of one wordâ, he did accurate reading and cast the spell at the appropriate time, and I also got the result at the said time. Doc stated clearly that he is only interested in my happiness, after seeing my sleepless night.
I promised to share my experience to people if he finally bring back my husband, which he did, I could have written badly about him if my husband didnât comeback as promised or if the spell had negative effects on me or my family. My husband and I are now making plans so Dr. Osaze can come visit and bless our family.
Am so honored to share his email which I can recommend to people who want their lover back, email: (spirituallove@hotmail. com)
When I was in my last week of pregnancy with my first baby, Philadelphia, where we lived, was hit by the Storm of the Century. All the roads were closed, cars hopelessly snowed in (and no roads open if you did dig out). My hero of a husband says “work needs me to coordinate snow duty. I’ll probably be gone a couple of days” and he left to walk to the subway. I’m alone, 8.75+ months pregnant, shoveling the car out, praying that I don’t go into labor until the roads are open (or I’d have the long hike to the subway, through the snow, ALONE and in labor). WORK needed him?? How about HIS WIFE needed him? It all worked out in the end; he came home, and the roads were open by the time our son was ready to be born a few days later, but even 23 years later, the memory is a bit traumatic.

This is really sad. As a man, reading these leaves me horribly ashamed and embarrassed to even read this. I took my wife to the hospital, I held her leg, I watched my baby come out. These guys should be ashamed of themselves.
First off I had to send my mother out to find him on the job site because that was the one day he turned off his phone.
Then while in labor (baby was hung up and I had no drugs) his sister calls with an “emergency”. Her water heater wasn’t working. So instead of being with me he was yapping with her. Even the nurse wondered where in hell he was.
After our son was born he announced that he was going home because he “was tired.”
Oh and when his sisters came to visit us they gleefully announced how clever they were to make up this fake emergency to check to see if I really was in the hospital having the baby.
I’m glad my stupid husband isn’t the only one but what a pitiful bunch when it comes out how many are so insensitive.
[…] 1. 28 Examples of Crap Husbands Pull While Their Wives are in Labor […]
I had my baby in september, I was in labor for 22 hours, and afterward my boyfriend had the audacity to ask ME to rub his back because it was sore. Boo freaking hoo.
So I guess it’s good and bad, but my husband hasn’t even had the decency to wait till the baby’s born. I had chosen to deliver at a birth center and naturally. My husband left me at 29&1/2 weeks, 22 days later, picks up his things and the next day texts me that whatever we are is not working and this is goodbye. He won’t support me financially anymore, and I need to open a new bank account, get car insurance, and take care of my phone bill. (Due to him working in the oilfield and us moving every 4 months the only jobs I’ve been able to keep are babysitting, so my funds are extremely low.) I guess the good thing about it is the divorce should be final before my baby’s born and I won’t have to have him be involved in baby’s life, so my baby doesn’t get their heart broken/shattered as I have. I’m just really stunned, I knew we had issues but we were trying to work through them, and they were my issues. My brain’s telling me he’d planned this from the beginning. And that’s why he never showed any excitement about our baby.
My husband took me to the hospital right away when I started to have early labor. As soon as we got to the hospital, my husband was the one that was more worry about me being in labor than I was. The nurse showed us our room and told us to wait for a reply from my doctor since it was in the middle of the night. My husband stayed up with me and walked the hall with for a bit then we both went to sleep. However, I wasn’t a sleep and my husband fall fast a sleep, snoozing through the night to the afternoon of the next day. My doctor told the nurse to induced me during that night because he was go out of town soon. By the time my husband woke up, I was hook up to IV and monitor so I wasn’t able to get off the bed. By two o’clock, I have one of the nurse to pop my water to speed up the process. Then by three, I was ready to push our son out while my husband was just standing near to video tape and take picture. After our son was born by four o’clock, my husband told me that he was too exhausted so he was going to go home. He went home and never did came back until the next day.
With our first child together,my first, I was in labor almost twenty four hours. About twelve hours thru they were ready to break my water, my husband was no were to be found. He had gone home. Still unknown what for. A few hours later about eight cm dialated he said he was going to go grab the few things we had forgotten, such as the camera and bring baby home clothes. We lived less than five minutes from the hospital. An hour later I’m ready and he’s still not back. I call and he’s eating pizza with our neighbor! Really! Still can’t forget it.
My ex husband got offended because no one paid attention to him while he cut the cord. I was still bleeding and everyone was worried because it was a really heavy flow. Later that night he complained about it until it was time for me to “officially” rest. He kept me up most of the night, complaining about not having enough pillows. He climbed into the hospital bed with me because it was more comfortable for him. (A single person hospital bed. I was so cramped) and then the next morning before i even had a chance to wake up he had eaten the breakfast that the nursing staff had brought in.
I was with my ex for 3 years n 6mthns n he cheated on me so we split, before he left me, we were planing to get married in the future, I loved him so much but I became tired of him lying to me every time he opens his mouth, I went into search for help in the internet, I tried many different spells from almost every place locally as well as online and none of them worked, I almost gave up hope because I thought i will never see my lover again forever, one day i saw some testimony about this powerful spell caster Great Zula i emailed him and i asked him to help me bring back my lover and he did A Lover Spell for me And after some days, my lover returned back to me I’d like to say that i got a positive result from ( greatzula@yahoo.com) ever since i used his love spell, my lover have learned to appreciate me more and more day by day, and he doesn’t take me for granted,

I had a planned c section and 4 hrs before my water broke. I’m stuck in the bathroom in full blown labor (90sec long 60 seconds apart) and I call him in the other room because he’s not answering my screams and all he says is “I wanted to take a shower” I let him go ahead and do that because I can barely move more than 5 feet at a time and when we finally get in the car he yells at me to stop being loud… And please groan into the pillow I was holding.
My favorite was actually the nurse in the labor room.. In the middle of a contraction I was freaking out and she starts trying to take my bra off. My cotton sports bra that only goes over my head. I literally started growling and my husband says “ummm you might want to walk away lady….”
I must confess that over here in the United States it is very difficult to get a powerful spell caster that will be able to restore broken marriages or relationships, But through the help of the internet i was able to get in touch with this powerful spell caster called High priest tokubo after reading a lot of good reviews about him on the internet so i contact him through his details bellow And after i told him about my relationship stress then high priest tokubo told me to calm down that my lover will come back to apologies to me for leaving me, I never taught that this was going to be possible, Just within 48 hours that i contacted high priest tokubo my lover sent me and an sms text saying that i should forgive him and before i knew it he was already at my place begging me to accept him back. you can contact him on: highpriesttokubo @ gmail. com
My husband, or should I say ex spent the majority of my 18 hour labour in the bar. He did pop up once and as I was biting down on a facecloth to avoid making a fuss he told me not to be stupid, it can’t be that painful babies are “dropped in the field” every day.
Fortunately for him he was there at the actual birth as the Dr had informed me that a baby of a different colour had recently been born in the next room and might possibly be shown to him. Had to laugh!
My husband wwnt to have Friday night drinks at my sister and huabands house whilat I was being induced. When i said to jim i knew he would do this before i had my pessaey removed and a swèep he hung up on me saying call me when you need me. Obviously tipsy.
If my waters break might not bother ringing him. Howa selfish can one be …or am I being unreasonable.
When I was in labor with my 3rd (and last) baby my ex-husband decided that he would (even though he wasn’t happy about it) go out the night before and get plastered. When I asked him what is the reason he claimed it was to “celebrate”. He knew we were going to the hospital in the morning at 7 a.m. to get induced and he did not get home until 3 a.m. . He was still drunk 4 hours later and could not be woke up. It was only when he heard his mother walking up the steps to babysit our other two children that he snapped out of it and begrudgingly took me to the hospital. He was miserable my whole labor, did not stay with me in either the labor or delivery room and did not even want to hear what the sex of the baby was.
My husband said he needed a snack. Find out he left to the BAR!!!!!!
( robinson.buckler@yahoo.com), restored my relationship and my boyfriend came back to me
My (late) husband was a ROCK thru the births of our 2 children. First time around, the only “crack” in his armor I ever saw was that he dozed off for a few minutes, but-gee, 13 hours had gone by! We were both tired, and it was about 2:30 AM! Our daughter was born without complications. I had a “saddle-block”, which helped tremendously. The second child, a boy, arrived much quicker. In only 4 hours, he was born: 9 pounds and squawking at the indignity of the birth process! My husband was ecstatic! And, he was a trooper and a true gentleman throughout both births. He didn’t gripe, complain, or faint, bless him. Sure do miss him.

Mine didn’t believe I was in labour after my water broke. So he went golfing. Even after my mom called to say I was 4cm dilated he finished his 9 holes before showing up.
I think I am the only one who doesn’t find these funny? đ what is wrong with men?!!! Seriously! I find it completely inexcusable that they act this way, worse than a 5 year old. I dont know how you ladies do it, but I would honest to god divorce my husband if he acted this way.
no, yu are not alone. I woul dump their ass, if we weren’t married, or divorce if we were. Selfish people. Who’s baby do they think is coming out?
My own story was a miscarriage story. I started having immense pains in the middle of the night. I was almost three months pregnant. My fiance was bothered by my tossing and turning and asked me to be still. I told him somethings wrong. I need to go to the hospital. I started gushing blood got up quickly and went ro the bathroom in agonizing pain. I started miscarrying a d then got into the bathtub which id out a bit of water into and cried in pain he came in and helped me clean myself up and said he couldnt take me to the hospital bc he had to work at 5 am. I nearly bles to death that night. And the real kicker he madee go to work the next day. And thwy sent me home after i paaaed out. And i had to take a week off and he actually got mad at me about it
Oh and even worse i had the miscarriage bc of him. Hed hit me in the stomach the day before that and raped me the same night that i miscarried. That first miscarriage before that weeks before hed told me to either choose him or the baby and i said id choose the baby. He told me i had to get an abortion. And that my bby was just cells. Just a fetus. Amd that i was being selfish to choose a baby over him. After that he made sure i kept having accidents.
hop he’s an ex. Or dead.
My husband knew I was in labour (doctor confirmed that at my OB appointment earlier that day). I told him the pain was getting stronger, but he decided it was ok to leave me alone with our three year old so he could play a show with his band. The gig offered no pay and was just a casual thing. I made a big mistake.

While in labour my husband asked if it was inappropriate to feel a little turned on by the noises I was making! Then asked that the next time I use the gas and air if I could say ‘Luke I am your father’! As soon as the baby was born he said oh it’s ok she has all the right number of fingers, toes etc. And she isn’t ginger which is a bonus! (Although at 3 months only she is getting a red tinge). Also he had to ‘pop’ back home to let the dogs out as we had been out12 hours. He came back 4 hours later, then waited for me to have my dinner and as soon as I finished he picked my plate up, gave us both a kiss and said I’m shattered, I need to go to bed. I had been up 60 hours! He had been to bed twice for quite a few hours. And he managed to get a break from me while he went off to eat/drink while my mate took over. Apart from that though he was amazing.
What a bunch of doofus idiotic husbands. I am not married, and comments like what I have read here doesn’t make me want to. But, i bet that with all the disrespect and crap they did, you still gave the child their surname right? unbelievable! Women really need to liberate themselves.

Second child, hubby kept his coat on the whole time WITH HIS CAR KEYS IN HIS HAND!!!! After a hour or so, while I was in labor, he asked me “will this take long? I’m working tomorrow”. 22 years later and can still remember what went through my mind at the time. And it was not pretty.
I phoned my husband on Thursday night to say, I thought the baby was coming he worked 2 hours away, then said he wouldn’t be home till the Saturday night, go to Nan’s so someone is with you….I had an 18 month old at the time, by Saturday morning I knew i had to have some one with me and my 18 month old. I then drove to Nan’s and stayed all afternoon, she wanted me to go to hospital, I refused saying I wanted my husband to be with me, he finally appeared at 8pm Saturday night and nearly crapped himself to see I was in pain on the couch. At 10 pm he took me to the hospital and the baby was born at 2.15am Sunday. I believed in him until 15 years after his (my husband) death….how naive am I?
The only thing i craved the day after my c- section was a cappuccino, and my lazy ass husband only checked at the hospital’s cafeteria and since it was closed he came back to me empty handed đ˘đ˘đ˘đ˘
My boyfriend WAS behaving strange, we had a disagreement two weeks ago because i caught him cheating with my best friend, he broke up and left but i love him and needed him back, i had no other choice than to contact dr.mac@yahoo. com for help and my boyfriend came back to me and want us to start all over, we are back together
24 hours after the start of my induction my husband went home to get a change of clothes and was gone 2 hours before I called him and woke him up from a nap. It took another hour for him to get back to the hospital. After i had a whole night of contractions with almost no sleep he woke up and complained that he didn’t sleep well in the pull out bed. Later he complained that I was using his pillow and asked for it back. And finally, when I was pushing he kept putting my leg down and not holding it and when I complained he said he was too tired to hold it up! I had been pushing for over an hour at that point and was exhausted!
OMGGGG HE was too tired to hold your leg?
My husband spent three hours doing a fantasy football draft after I had been in labor for 18 hours. During this time he was too busy to be bothered with all my neediness. He also complained to anyone who would listen how uncomfortable the beds were for him and how poor his sleep quality was because of it.
Half these “husbands” are awful, and trash. Nothing says I don’t respect women by prioritising yourself over your wife’s labour. Then they wonder why birthrates are so late and low in the Western world hmm

My husband did not accompany me to the small rural hospital at 2am when I was 24 weeks into a high risk pregnancy because he was âtiredâ. He did not come with me in the ambulance to the tertiary hospital when they realized I was in preterm labor and needed to go 60 miles away to a hospital with a NICU. He didnât show up until 2 hours after our sons birth and 20 minutes after his death, while I was in the operating room in emergency surgery for massive postpartum bleeding. I still donât know why Iâm still married to him.
My son in law went to my daughters best friends house and they had sex while she was in labor.
My husband worked remotely and took phone calls while I was in active labor the whole time until right before I delivered. He sent his last email at 11:00 pm and my daughter was born at 11:50 pm.
His boss was worse! At one point I begged him to stop working and be by my side because I was doing the Bradley method and he was supposed to be my support person. And his boss sent him an email (knowing his wife is in labor) saying, âI understand youâre in a situation right now but you have to respond to your email in a timely manner!â
Me and my husband was apart for 2 years he broke up with me and left me and the children I was totally heart broken till I meant (greatmutaba@gmail. com) he cast a love spell that return my husband back to me
Well it wasn’t my husband it was my ex boyfriend but I called him and told him I was in labor he got to the hospital and have me angry faces then he decided to express how I was horrible for asking him to leave me alone and telling him I had a new boyfriend (I didn’t but he wouldn’t leave me alone) we argued about that for a few hours until I blocked the guy who was pretending be my boyfriend. He told me he hopes she dies so I changed her last name to mine and then we argued about her name for another few hours. Well needless to say we argued the entire 13 hours that I was in labor. When I was screaming in pain dilated to a 7 he said I deserved it he doesn’t care that I’m in pain. Anyways the baby was born with brain damage which occurred during labor
my husband just dropped me off at the front of the hospital and left me there. he told me he had more important things to do like work. When I was to come home I had to wait for him till after 5pm then he waited in the car in front of the hospital again.He never had any interest in being a father. He then went on the midnight shift so as to not be home with us, also he slept out in his garage. We never slept in the same bed again.
My husband knew I was having a c section but I went into labour a week early. I called him at 10 am to tell him my waters had broken and he stayed at work because he couldn’t contact his boss to let him know he would have to leave. I had a c section at midnight and he arrived the next day at lunch time. I can’t get over it.

I was induced and was in labor for about 10 hours already before the doctor broke my water cause the one that was supposed to ‘wasnt comfortable with it’. My husband was right next to me the entire day EXCEPT when they did. They told us it would be a while still and his mom kept nagging him to go with her to get a coffee so finally he said ok since they told him they weren’t doing anything. 5 minutes after he leaves they come in and tell me they’re breaking my water now…. I was so upset he wasnt there.
In his defense though he felt awful and even though I was in labor for a total of 21 hours he refused to sleep or leave my side after that. Everyone else was napping (including me) later that night and I told him to get some sleep and he refused because he said he missed them breaking my water, he wasn’t going to miss anything else. Even when I told him we’d wake him up first lol <3
My mom always tells the story about how when she was in labor, both my dad and her doctor were huge Toronto Maple Leafs fans and there was a game going on while she was in labor. So my dad and the doctor were taking turns leaving the room to go watch the game :-p I’m 30 and she still hasn’t let him live that down lol
mine told me 10 hours after giving birth we were going to have to get me some excercise equipment.

I woke up at 6am, having contractions. My husband insisted on my attending 8am mass because âtheyâre not that bad, and besides, maybe theyâre just Braxton-Hicks.â
By noon, I informed him that this was the real thing, and we needed to start thinking about a sitter for the two toddlers. âNo. You promised you would take the kids to the basketball game today. You canât let them down. And, I have to work the basketball game. Wouldnât you rather be there with me? If it gets too bad, Iâll take you to the hospital then.â By half-time, my contractions were 2 minutes apart. I was in pain. Our 3 and 5 year old boys were enjoying the basketball game, but the college girls next to us were worried:âMaâam, are you in labor? Can we call an ambulance for you?â No, no dearies. You see, my husband is the team physician. And Iâve texted him, and he will be coming shortly to take me to the hispital. Just then, my husband appeared. âIâm working right now. When the game is over, then Iâll take you to the hospital. Itâs only a couple of hours before Iâm finished. Youâll be fine.â At that point, I asked him if he remembered delivering babies during his residency, and if he was prepared to do it right there in the court. As obstinate as he was about the thought of leaving the game, one of the trainers reassured him that she had it, and would call him if any of the players were injured. To this day, he continues to protest that it was still 4 more hours before I delivered, and that I was over reacting.
nvm The almost being late to induction because he fell back asleep, the 27 phone calls from his mom he answered, or the fact that he took zero pictures of me in labor or having the baby! Zero! He had to keep leaving to get energy drinks because he was so âexhaustedâ. He then went and got food and brought it back to the room. I couldâve killed him.
I had some nasty tearing and was in a lot of pain and doped up – the nurses desk didnât have anymore room for our baby so they said he had to stay with us. I asked my husband to take over with him so I could rest a little and he was like yah but Iâm super tired so I might fall asleep. I ended up with a baby on my chest sleeping and our 6 year old in the hospital bed with međđ. I had to pee and couldnât wake him up and ended up having to page the nurse to help me move the kids so I could get up. This nurse did not judge me for throwing his sandals at him. Bless his heart the fact that he lived past that day is a freaking miracle yâall.
With my first, he sat on his phone and took phone calls the entire time-i actually barely remember him being there… I do remember through a blur of pain that he left the hospital after about 10/18 hours of labor when it was really going, because he needed dinner. Well he didnât just grab something from the cafeteria upstairs, he met up with his whole family- he actually left the hospital and was gone for a few hours. When it came time to push he said âhurry up and get that one out so we can get another one in thereâ
After I needed help to get out of bed to use the bathroom- the epidural hadnât worn off- I couldnât wake him up without yelling and waking the baby- I pressed the nurses button and waited 45 minutes and no one came- my leg started to tingle so I thought I had enough feeling to get up on my own… I did- fell- and bled out all over the floor 2 feet from him while he slept- the nurse never showed up until a couple hours later… my mom asked if I needed help- he said âwe can handle itâ and to drive back home 380 miles away.
We got home- he hopped on his laptop in bed while I was carrying and setting up the house for the baby, I was exhausted from climbing the stairs- decided to take a little nap- he complained about laundry not being done without even looking up… I told him âwhy the f do you think youâre here right now?â
He didnât get up once at night, so any house work. He cooked but I had to clean it up..
With the second child it was a Saturday, we lived right by a Saturdayâs market so traffic was bad that day… he needed to âdrop some things off at workâ… well he took a conference call in his office, filled out some paperwork, and people he worked with kept asking if I was in labor âyes god damn it, I am- tell him to take me to the hospital!â Oh yeah- he worked at a cemetery as a manager… I spent half my labor in the waiting room of a cemetery office…
I said âI will never have another child with you againâ. and that wasnât the pain talking…
I got there and had about 2 hours left of a 11 hour labor to go…
Iâm now pregnant with our 3rd… 9 years later… surprise… he says things will be different this time… I can assure you they will… because if he doesnât answer the phone when I call him- Iâm driving myself to the hospital and he can hold the baby when Iâm ready to be discharged- but after Iâm home- he can go right back to work!
My husband rushes me to the hospital but it was a false labour contraction during my first pregnancy. It nearly took me other hours from the actual delivery. But the case was exactly different with my second pregnancy because I had gathered information on labour contractions. We were much more aware of the pain and the contractions from the information that I had read from your blog. Thank you so much, my husband and I had a happy baby delivery experience.

My husband was Facebook messaging his girlfriend from high school for naked pics. She sent pics of herself in bra and panties as he commented getting a woody etc. When I asked to unfriend her he said he didn’t want to hurt her feelings. He drank too much to take me to the hospital. I was going to drive myself but the neighbor took me and I delivered within 25 minutes of arrival with no time for epidural. 1st contraction to delivery was 1 hour and a half without hubby. Must have been getting a woody at home. Current status: separated pending divorce. Found pics in his saved photo gallery 10 days after baby girl was born….
My EX husband waited a few minutes after our son was born to ask me with the nurse in the room, ” when do you want to have another one?” and giggled hysterically as he was mortifying and annoying mw on purpose. When he left the room, the nurse told me she felt sorry for me. I assured her we were getting a divorce.
My CURRENT partner SLEPT through our son’s birth and so as I writhed in pain I got to watch him peacefully snore like a baby…I was on a pitocin machine dialed up all the way, no pain meds no epidural, when he said to me that if I needed to make that much noise, I should get the epidural because I obviously couldn’t handle the pain. I assumed I was interupting his sleep but he insists he was only trying to “help”. Mind you this was baby 4 and I never got pain meds or epidural before. When I said I was coping just fine, he pointed out that the lady next door was quiet. I gleefully waited until the nurse entered and asked her why the lady was so handling her birtg so quietly as my observantly genius husband had pointed out… The lady had given birth in the taxi. I enjoyed watching my crappy labor partner turn red…. He slept that night while I had the baby and graciously allowed me to nap 40 something hours later…. I got the epidural and still have permenant back problems.
I sent pregnancy articles to my soon to be ex now about pregnancy so he would quit saying I have a bad attitude, my pregnancy is a crutch and an excuse, and implying I don’t do enough when I do more than him.
His response was that “the articles were TOTALLY my life!!” He then proceeded to call me a narcissist and that I make everything about myself.
While I was having crippling thigh cramps last night, the kind that make you almost drop to the floor, and heavy contractions for hours last night, he actually used my hip as a footstool while I was curled into a ball dealing with them pain. I had to remove his legs and inform him he was hurting me. Men are crap!!
I was hoping that by reading these stories id feel better but I still cry a little when I’m alone… I strongly believe most men lack compassion and strongly encourage mommies out there to teach your son’s like I’m teaching mine.
Well while I was in natural labor with no medication and in the worst pain of my life all I kept saying was how sorry I was on how dramatic I was being… I was hurting so bad I couldn’t hear the nurse not over my moans but I couldn’t hear over my pain and how dizzy I was from it. All I heard was the staff and my husband looking at me and laughing. I still haven’t asked what was so funny but all I remember was looking at my husband crying and telling him it’s not funny stop laughing at me.
It might not sound that bad but it broke my heart.
I will never forgive my husband for not bringing a camera to the delivery room. I had a planned c section and his only job was to take pictures as soon as the baby was out. When the surgeon got the baby out he showed it to us and ask if we wanted to take pictures. I was under partial anesthesia and even if I was awake I wasnât feeling good, I was very dizzy. I looked at my husband waiting for him to take pictures and with this stupid look on his face he said : huh I left the camera in the recovery room. If it wasnât for the anesthesia I would have stand up and kill him straight away. The funny thing is that NOBODY TOLD HIM he couldnât bring a cell phone or any other camera in the room!!!
We had bought stuff for tacos since it was taco Tuesday. My water broke at 6pm,I am freaking out at home trying to gather everything to go to the hospital WHILE I AM LEAKING. My husband says, “oh I think I am going to make tacos, you want some? “
Baby 1 stayed in bed . His parents drove me to hospital. He arrived as I was giving birth ink because their cleaner had found him asleep and kicked him out of the house.
Baby 2 Christmas Day. He left just after she was non to spend the day with his parents. Cam back 12 hrs later and threw an opened bottle of his motherâs scent on my bd as a present. When we go home 3 days later he asked me to come outside to help push start the car do he could go to a party.
I left him
My child’s father was tired of waiting for me to deliver our baby so he decided to go to the local bar and get a beer and quesadilla. While this time I had no support, no one there comforting me I was miserable. The pain was so intense I was shaking. I called the nurses station, might I add the wait was so incredibly long, my phone was sitting on the tray that they moved out of the way. When I asked to call this POS they said no. After all of hard work and screams through labor here he comes with a styrofoam container saying I bought you back some. I should have pulled my IV out and killed him. Literally.
Oh, the crap the husbands do and say when their wives are in labor! They seriously cracked me up. It’s more of like gloating on my part. I didn’t do one part. I’m what you call an apprentice coach, attending his first real labor and delivery. Everything I learned during the childbirth classes with my wife is making sense. I just had to recall the right affirmations and massage the pressure points during contractions. It was a breeze if you compare it to what these husbands went through. Men say and do the most awkward things when they’re not let in of the situation. That’s why I’m forever grateful to BirthForMen. The training and webinars saved me from making a fool of myself that my wife can hold against me.
I blame the women 100% for marrying these obvious POS’s! I warned my sister, two nieces, and uncle they were marrying POS’s! Guess what? Hmmm, all divorced except one. My sisters husband is currently on vacation without his family.
First baby, while driving to the hospital, the contractions were so intense that I was clutching the door, yelling, when he made me wait through a McDonald’s line up so he could get a coffee. When we got to the hospital I was told I was 8cm, In between painful contractions, I looked over to see him texting his buddy about MTG cards.
Labour #2. I wake up in so much pain I’m crouched down on the floor in our living room, when he sees me he tells me I’m embarrassing him… It’s just the two of us!!! When we got to the hospital I was 10cm, he continued to express his embarrassment toward my pain. I didn’t even make it to the delivery room, I had the baby on the stretcher. I nearly bled to death. After labour he started making fun of me, the nurse told him off for it. I was on constant watch in the hospital for 3 days. He spent those 3 days blaming me for why we couldn’t leave sooner.
I’m due for an induction next week… He’s not coming!
Went into labor and asked my husband to take me to the hospital he got out of bed and I heard his van running then seen it going down the road I called him and he told me figure it out take yourself and that he had to go to work he wasnât going to the hospital. Yeah real winner right!!
Never came back and never even called to check on me or anything

Are yâall just okay with this crap???? My husband would be sleeping on the couch and waking up to take care of the baby for a MONTH if he pulled this in the delivery room. This delivery is about me. I did all the work, the LEAST YOU CAN DO is be respectful. Yâall married some real winners đ
