Little rant

so im 33 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend just told me for spring break he's going to Mexico with his family... I will be 37 weeks at that point and the dr has already told me that I will be induced by 38 if he's not here on his own for health reasons. And I'm Soo mad and upset because my bf may be in Mexico and not here for our 1st baby's birth!!! :(

I am very sorry :( I would be so upset if my boyfriend was going on vacation when our baby was scheduled to be born! Maybe try talking to him about it. Let him know how you feel. Sometimes, guys are oblivious lol he may not actually know that he is doing anything to upset you

Well, talk to him about the importance of his welcoming his child into the world and see if he is willing.  His mom sounds disappointed that he is going to be a dad at such a young age and that is natural with a lot of parents.  They know it's super hard to raise a baby and be such a young parent.  But what's done is done and the two of you are going to create a life together---  so whisking him away doesn't make the situation not happen.  It's unfortunate.  But talk to him and see if he is willing to waffle on this decision and be there for the birth (which he might be there any way with the timing---  I had issues and did not go early and so, you may be induced at 38 weeks and he could be back).  I hope he changes his mind and stays with you.  Don't talk about being hurt or mad but rather about what he is missing out on!!  good luck sweetie

I'm 19 and he's 20. His mom absolutely hates me for no reason that's why she even asked him in the first place. And no we don't live together, tho we do plan on it once the baby is born because he has his own house.

I would be absolutely irate if baby daddy CHOSE to be on a freaking family get away during the birth of our child. But then again his family isn't that rude and THEY wouldn't even go. Trips come and go a babys birth is ONCE. I am so sorry that he would even consider going that is so selfish that I'm ulset for you. Freaking spring break? Grow up and be a dad i think it's worse that his family thinks it's ok? Just make sure you have some of your closest family and friends to get you through it and i would tell him he needs to seriously reconsider being there for his childs birth.

When I think about this as well, my husband being with me for the birth was also an amazing bonding experience for US.  He's my partner, my love.  Sharing that together is something not to be taken for granted.  He was there for me to encourage me, to help me after, to share in the joy.  It's very special for a couple to be together for a birth of their baby.  good luck

Oh, I'm very sorry.  I think it is so important for the father to be there for the birth of their child.  It's an amazing moment that no dad should ever miss out on.  It's their first bonding moment.  My husband describes it as a holy moment when he held his son right after birth.  He was so excited to watch the baby being born.  it's special.  I can see why you are so upset that he will miss that.  Talk to him about it hon.  I take it you two don't live together?  Is he excited about the baby?

Honestly, I would be  relieved if my guy isn't there, and I don't think he will be, thank goodness. Lol. When I had my first the last thing I wanted was some one around trying to talk to me let a lone touch me. And it's nice to have some alone time with the babe while in the hospital so you can bond with out someone trying to hold him or her. He'll get to meet the baby and bond in his own time, but I think that first time is special for mommy. This is just how I feel though and I know most won't agree, but try not to be mad about it and to look at it as your own special time with baby if he does decide to go with his family.
