Today, I went to the hospital in premature labor. Alone, I texted my best friend/crush and asked him to come and sit with me for an hour while I waited on my mom to arrive. Eating cornflakes and watching TV, he replied "I can't". Apparently TV is more important than a best friend in labor. FML

Okay, I'm finally writing back to all 401 of your comments. Yes, I am a pregnant teenager- although, I can not see how that has any revelance to my post, pregnancy in teenagers happens quite often and I do not appreciate the judgemental/negative comments being thrown at me. It's pure slander. Yes, the father and I did have a fallout and I will be raising the baby on my own, with the help and support of my family and friends- not to mention he lives in the northern part of the state that I live in, which happens to be 4-5 hours away, even if he wanted to be here for the arrival of our child(which we are expecting to be a girl), he could not make it here on time. Therefore, my mother is my "go'to man", for lack of better words. I also notice you all are saying that he wouldn't want to hold my hand or watch the baby being born, I never said he would be in the delievery room- I simply asked him to keep my company during the scary hours of contractions that were yet to come, until my mother could arrive and take over. Yes, we had previously discussed it, and he had said that if need-be, he would be there. Unfortunately for me, he was speaking pure lies. As for the premature labor I did go into, they did stop it, and I am now on bed rest while taking a medicine called "terbutaline" every 4 hours in order to hold her until full term. (Which is also why I could write my FML, I didn't come home taking care of a baby, I came home on bed rest so I could have my baby at the correct time. I had nothing else to do but write my FML.) I do understand how confusing and misleading my post was, but keep in mind you only get a certain amount of letters to work with when writing your original FML, and by reading this I'm sure you've noticed that I could not elaborate thouroughly with 300 letters as a maximum. I do appreciate your opinions, even though I do not agree with all the statements that were made. Just wanted to explain since there were so many confused people.

he probably knows you are into him so is avoiding being to close to you incase he gets the position of father figure to your child and is therefore stuck with you and the kid forever, he saved himself from having a fml

Is he the father? If he is, he should be more than a "crush". Sounds like a bad choice to me either way.

#92... stop having crushes at 16? What do you call it when you like someone but haven't acted on it for whatever reason, when you're over 16? ... I'd still call that a crush!

> Having children isn't a right, it's a responsibility to the child. Boatiebanter, you took the words straight out of my mouth. I try to make it a rule not to judge people. However, I can't comply with that when it comes to people who have babies when they clearly shouldn't be. With other mistakes you make in life, you just **** yourself over so as long as you are responsibly footing the bill you shouldn't be judged. With this one, however, you are ******* over another human being's life. Yeah I sure hope the OP is a woman who's mature and strong enough to raise the baby, with or without a man in the picture. I grew up in a single parent household too and understand that fathers aren't always necessary. However, the content and tone of the FML really don't give that impression. FYL? **** the baby's life.

Gah, kids having kids, she ****** up. Birth control, condoms, tied tubes, these exist so that we are separated from animals like rabbits and such. Women fight for a choice, which I am all for it is their body, but it is also up to them to USE that choice that they fought for. If the father isn't there and shes texting her "crush" waiting for her mom, chances are shes one of the many pregnant teenagers who screwed up their life. Of course 101 brings up a good point in the situation of where the father is, and that could be true which changes it, except the last. -If the father is some asshole who isn't there, you were wrong to breed with him. I go back to contraceptives, they are there for a reason. You screwed up by getting knocked up by a person you never really knew, apparently by accident because its not like you discussed having a kid.

Agree with #88 and #93 Call the kid's dad next time. I'm sure if he was dead you'd have inluded it in the FML. YDI, what do you expect? This is a major reason society is going downhill.

Do you really think a bunch of comments on FML are going to stop people popping out babies?

There's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many factors and variables about the father, and the simple fact is NONE of you know ANYTHING about it.

Here are some threads that I'd like you to look at and compare the responses in this thread with the responses in that thread. http://www.fmylife.com/sex/2200863 wedding night virgins http://www.fmylife.com/sex/2182938 girlfriend of 2 years virginity http://www.fmylife.com/sex/1604682 another girlfriend of 2 years virginity thing Note how many people are bashing them for waiting?

NotNegativeNews, I don't think the judgement is on her sex life. A woman can sleep around for all I care--as long as she's using protection and being a responsible human being I don't see anything wrong with that. However, having an active sex life does not automatically lead to pregnancy, unless you are in some parts of the world where contraceptives are not widely available which doesn't appear to be the case here. And it's that I have issues with: if you aren't responsible enough to make sure you aren't going to bring another human being into this world before you're ready to give him/her a fair shot at life, you shouldn't be having sex. Being a woman, I am fully aware of how difficult it is to use contraceptives consistently and appropriately, to bring up the topic of pregnancy and contraception, to insist using on condoms when other methods are unavailable. And yes, people **** up all the time, yours truly included, and that's really okay. But, when your **** up leads to a baby being ****** for his/her whole life--not okay. Yeah yeah yeah there are all these stories of children who overcame all odds to become great human beings, but behind every one of those stories is the story of thousands of children in the same situations who never made it. Never rambled so much on FML before. Gosh this one just makes me so angry.
