So after tonight’s experience I’m considering going to L&D alone. We (my husband & I) went to L&D due to dizziness and cramps. As soon as we get in the room my husband sits down and starts looking at his phone/twitter. I asked him to put his phone away and about 15 minutes later he did. I would just think that he would want to hear what the nurse had to say so we would know what to expect. Then, a few minutes later he lays down on the couch and falls asleep. LITERALLY SNORING! While I’m having contractions and being monitored for labored. After a few hours we were given the option to stay and try to walk baby out or go home and walk baby out at home. I literally choose to go home because I didn’t want to deal with my husband sleeping on the couch and the embarrassment of waking him up and asking for help.

I’m just disappointed, I told him he hurt my feelings and I felt neglected and he didn’t have any clue as to what he did wrong.

I’m thinking when the time actually comes I’ll just have him show up for the last 30 minutes or so if I can plan it like that. I would rather be actually alone, then have a snoring husband on the couch while I’m having contractions.
