Stupid Men

So i went to the hospital today to see if anything was wrong with my baby cause i haven't felt him move or kick for over 36 hours. The doctor booked me an appointment for tomorrow morning at 9:15am. My fiancè/baby daddy thinks work is more important then going to this ultrasound instead he wants his mother to take me. He knows i dont get along with his mother that well and that i won't want her to take me.
I honestly don't know what to do or say anymore, I'm at a total loss woth this pregnancy with my last 2 weeks

Paternity leave is for dad.
Maternity leave is for mom.
Just clearing up the confusion for the poster trying to correct with incorrect info.
That's why a DNA test for the father is also called a paternity test...not a maternity test.

I dont know why he changed from wanting this baby to why he doesnt.

He never had a second thought about this baby

If you have a car just bring yourself to the appt that way his mother doesn't have to go. As for the leave I don't understand why he wouldn't at least take the first four weeks since they are paid.

Jeez. I would not even be with him then if those are the things he's saying and doing! I'm sorry he's being such a jackass. That is not okay.

WHAT!? He seriously turned down 6 weeks of paternity leave!? My husband would jump at that offer. He has to use the last of his vacation which is only 2 weeks.

For your baby you need to put aside your problems with your mother in law and let her take you. After that go ahead and give her the cold shoulder. But you need to find out how your baby is doing first.

I'd be upset then. There's no reason he should turn it down if that much of it is paid. Have you told him how you feel about that?

I know it *****, and it would be awesome to have him around that long. But would you guys be financially stable enough to be without an income for 6 weeks straight? Not trying to tell you you're wrong for feeling upset, but sometimes we just gotta do things we don't want to :/

I'm sure it's uncomfortable for you to go with her when you don't care much for her. But is it really that easy for him to get off work for an appt that's not his? Does he not want to go because he doesn't like going? Or because work will be upset? Gotta remember he works that job for you and baby...
