Today, my colleague rushed off to the hospital for the birth of his first son. Having met his wife at the Christmas party a couple of years ago, I called to congratulate her. Shame I didn't realize it was his mistress having the baby. Guess who broke the news to the wife. FML

Today, at the hospital I work at, I had to deliver my best friend's baby. I later found out that my ex boyfriend was the father. Normally this wouldn't faze me, but it did because we broke up last month. FML

Today, my best friend called me and told me she was in the hospital in labor. Excited, I rush to the hospital. Once I arrived, I saw my boyfriend of 4 years in the room. I asked him what he was doing there and my friend says, “You wanna tell her or should I?” Turns out he’s leaving me for her. The baby is his. FML

Yeah, I agree with 19. It sounds like she called them to leave a congratulations and ended up breaking the news that the husband was cheating.

I don't think it's fake. Sounds like OP rang the next day, or maybe even a few days later. Just because she doesn't explicitly state the time of the phone call doesn't mean me can't all use a bit of logic :P
