Birth(need advice)
Show your support
Yes I agree, if he wants to be there when baby is born then he needs to either tell his work he needs time off or apply for FMLA, even if he only qualifies for a little bit of time!
Thank you I just wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing...I always second guess myself and he tells me that I'm basically gonna fail here and I don't even want to live here but in the road I have nobody to watch our son for when I go into labor..and he just always says mean and nasty things to me so it's just hard
I’m sorry): my boyfriend/baby daddy sometimes goes out of town for a week or two at a time and then home on weekends and then gone again but his work made sure to have them work close to home around the time that I was due so he could be here when baby was born even tho he wasn’t able to take time off of work but I at least wasn’t alone during labor or at the hospital for those couple of days! And I couldn’t have imagined giving birth in a different town or state where you couldn’t go straight home to your own house. I would write down all the things you want to say and why you need to be home and that he needs to tell his work he needs to be home for the birth of his baby if he wants to but either way you will be giving birth at home where you will have a support system. Because even if you went with him he would still be working and you will need help with taking care of baby, toddler and yourself! I hope he understands and comes to his senses!!!
