Pregnant in a sticky friendship
**Just a little bit of back ground**
I have been friends with this girl that I am “best friends” with since about 2013, sophomore year of HS. (Quotations bc I don’t really feel like I am bc I get bummed off unless it’s convenient for her.) She went into nursing school for 3.5 years and flunked out 6 months before graduating, would have been May 2018. She didn’t pass one of the nursing programs by less than a point. But with me being a supportive friend I have been there and never talked down and would say that everything happens for a reason and it’s not the end of the world so don’t give your hopes up. Now she’s back in and doing it again, having to start over bc the credits don’t count if you fail. I haven’t told her to not go back in or anything just said okay and you don’t have much longer since she’s going for LPN instead of RN this go around. She has got a REALLY BIG HEAD and thinks she knows everything under the sun and you don’t know as much as her.
Her and her boyfriend have been together for 8 years and they’re not engaged, moved in, nothing... mainly bc if his mom but that’s a different story.
Well she’s went to nursing school at the hospital that my Dr. used and talked about how bad it was and that’s he nurses and what ever isn’t good. Blah blah blah. Pretty much begging me not to go. Well one of my friends had a baby Sept 2017 and said she had no problem and so did a lady I would with that had a baby there (and with the same Dr) Aug 2015.
Now the rooms aren’t as nice as some that I have seen but my dr is there and I don’t really want to go anywhere else and not have my dr and paperwork and so on. So I told her she could be in the room to make sure everything goes okay and then do what all they’re supposed to.
*Some of the things she pointed out that was wrong* Just to name a few... 🙄
•Pushing to make the baby drop further instead of letting nature take its course
•Getting a lady to push while lying on her back
•Getting the epidural “too early”
•Nurses not know what they’re doing
•Going ahead and cutting before the baby tries to crown
Yes I understand that some of these are somewhat of a big deal, but she’s making it out to be the worst thing in the world.
Well I went and get my nails done I was telling her how I can’t pay some of my bills on time this month bc my husband got laid off and I don’t bring home enough to support both of us. I was to the point where I didn’t care and was eating out a couple times a week and stuff like getting my nails done bc I didn’t have the money for all the bills anyways so I was just to the point where I said fuck it all and I don’t care. Well she was rubbing it in my face that I have a baby on the way and I can’t pay bills and my husband doesn’t have a job and I pretty much suck ass at life right now. And that made me not care even more... that’s not what I needed to hear...
I don’t know if she’s doing it bc she’s trying to boost herself up or what, but I really don’t want her in the delivery room and I don’t want to make her mad bc I don’t want to deal with the drama. I was told that I could use the excuse I only want family in there, but then she’ll throw in that she is family and get mad that I’m not considering her that...😑 the only other thing that I thought of that I could say would be when it’s time and I am in labor, 26 weeks now, that I just want my husband and no one else, but his mom wants to be in there and I don’t mind. She’s no problem. What do I do?....🙄😑
