Today, I went into labor. I called my mother to ask her to drive me to the hospital. She wanted me to wait for her to take a nap first. FML

OP here, to answer some questions, the father and I are married, he was just working at the time and my mom is closer to me than my SO's work so we had already planned for her to take me if this were to happen since he works long shifts. She was definitely serious about taking a nap but thank god she didn't cuz I was in full blown labor and had a few complications. Long story short, in the end my daughter had to have her stomach pumped as soon as I delivered and she wasn't breathing due to her swallowing and choking on my amniotic fluid and her meconium. She was fine after all that happened other than a fever of 104.5. So if my mom had taken a nap I'm not sure what would have happened.

I accidentally clicked "That could've happened to me" I don't think it could've though, considering I'm a man.

Well, you wouldn't want her to be cranky.

Is it possible she was too tired to drive and therefore it would have been dangerous? I mean a mother and child in the car means you should drive carefully.

Else call for a rescue squad/ ambulance/ taxi, no?

I laboured all night while everybody else in the house slept lol

It sucks you had to go through that but congrats on the baby

I mean I see why that would upset you but labor can sometimes take days before the child is born. she probably didn't mean anything by it.

so because your mother needed to take a nap, she put you and your baby in danger? Sorry to say it, but your mother is pretty selfish to say the least

When I was in labour I told my husband he had to take me to hospital and he asked if he could have a shower first. Which would be fine if he didnt take ridiculously long showers and if he was the one with a child trying to exit his body.

My mom once made me wait a couple minutes outside the house while it was raining because she was too busy singing in an onlike karaoke website. #asianmomstruggles
