Am I being selfish?!
When I was 31 weeks pregnant I moved to my mothers to avoid stress and financial struggles I was dealing with, until me and his father could get back on our feet...myself and my sons father thought this was the best thing. She at the time lived 1 hour and 20 mins away from the hospital I want to deliver and my OB. Since moving in with her she then decided to move again now putting me 2 hours from the hospital and my OB. I’m refusing to switch doctors and hospitals, I’m 39 weeks and I’m only about 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced and have been at this since 38 week appointment. The closest hospital to where my mother lives that delivers babies is a hour away which makes it 3 hours for my sons father to be there for the birth and I refuse to have him miss it or not be there. I have no reliable person to drive me to the hospital when I go into labor and I’m wondering if the stress from all of this is what’s causing me not to dilate..a lot of people have said that I’m being selfish but this being my first baby I need the support of my sons father and i know I would be under more stress and more upset without him being there, I would resent myself if I knew that my decisions resulted in him not making it for the delivery..
