DP drinking & watching rugby - i'm overdue

[joy2me]

I'm feeling angry at DP tonight because I am overdue at the moment (almost 41wks).
I dropped off dp at the rugby today at lunchtime and in the last week i have told him twice not to drink just in case anything happens and he has to drive me to the hospital.
Well 7pm tonight i call him and he is at the pub with his rugby mates getting ready to watch the nz vs aussie game and he has been drinking since this afternoon........
I asked him to come home and watch the game and to stop drinking - he said he will be home after the game and no doubt will continue to drink.

I am so angry right now and can't stand him......because it is stressing me out the "what if's"
what if i go into labour
what if i have to drive myself
what if i have to go into labour smelling alcohol and cigarettes on his breath
and i'm really angry at him that i'm stressing out over this right now - i don't need it

I said to him that i have been preparing for this birth for the last two months (getting ready) and i'm afraid something may happen and he is not prepared .....i'm afraid i will never forgive him

You have every right to be angry. I would be too, that's very irresponsible, do you have anyone else to call that could take you to the hospital?? I would be such a cow and not let him into the hospital after having bubs just to be a b*tch. But yeah, he needs a smach upside the back of his head!

You have every right to be angry My DP told me he was going to drink with the boys from work a week before my due date. I said, what if I go into labour that night? He just laughed.

You guessed it, I went into labour!!! I still get angry about it!

Tear him a new one!!

Hi. He was apologizing but when you've been drinking you don't really care do you. He will care today when he has to deal with the shame of looking at my mother and I.

I was very close last night in pains so I had him up running around the house for me getting the hot water bottle.

I just can't help thinking what a selfish pig and I hate to think that about dp....i'm so grateful that i didn't need to go to hospital.

Thanks guys for your words - they were encouraging last night right when i needed them. Thanks.

hey joy2me
eat something spicy that you can handle or ask your mother to take you shopping and just walk or go down a very bumppy road like a dirt track that should help you labour start, i went 4x4 the day before i went into labour with master4 and the drs reckon iwas all those bumps that kicked start my labour

[joy2me]

Thanks Icypole. I've been doing that for the last few days - walking as much as I can and I'm not going to stop until this baby comes out lol.

Apparently if you have your little toes massaged it will triger labour.
If my DP did that and I went into labour I would have found another way to the hospital and left him at home.

[whatwasithinking]

I can't believe he would leave you for the night considering how overdue you are!

My husband would do something like this -OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!!!!

You have every right to be angry/mad/cranky/upset.

its actuallly your heals if you have your heals massage you can kick start labour, i see a massage therypthist once a month and she told me to tell hubby to advoid the heals unless i want to go into early labour, it sitmulates the natural hormone that triggers labour

my DF was like this to
he doesnt ever want to grow up and has stupid friends that are all idiots.
he went out one night the week before i was due and said he' be home.
he never came home!
i was sooo p!ssed off!

i rang him at about 3am and it rang out, so i tired again and then my phone call was rejected and the phone was turned off!

i was going to kill him!

the next day he rang about 1pm and said his stupid idiot friend had turned his phone off cause i kept waking im up!

i mean what if i had gone into labour?

men just dont think!

and we they drink with other friend who dont think theres just no point even trying to talk to them.
