Childbirth can be rough — and sometimes tough decisions have to be made.
One mom has asked the internet to weigh in on a tough question.
"[Am I the a-hole] For telling my husband that if he had to choose between my self and my daughter during birth to choose me?" she asked.
She developed gestational diabetes at 32 weeks "due to [...] being overweight," she wrote. Her OB-GYN scheduled a C-section, and then:
Before going in to the hospital I talked with my husband that if something where to happened and he needed to choose between myself and our baby to please choose me. He got quiet but said that he agreed and that please let me mother know about what we talked.
She brought this up at a gathering of mom friends and it didn't go over great:
I said that I do want another baby and that pregnancy doesn’t scare me such as giving birth again. I said that I straight told my husband again that I’m scared that something may happened to me during the birth and in the hopes of giving my daughter a sibling I could leave her without a mother. That the original agreement stands that he needs to choose me if that’s the case.
