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.

#171-What makes you think that she expects this 'friend' to be a father to this baby?Waiting with your scared friend in labor for one hour until her mom gets there?What part of that screams 'Raise my baby with me!' to you? Also, whyyyyyy is everyone assuming that she's a teenager?You guys are all jumping to your own conclusions & taking it out on this woman. In conclusion-F her mother's life for having another mouth to feed?!Are you kidding me?Again with the assumptions.This is ridiculous!I'm sure her mother loves her very much & WANTS to be there to support her-that is what mothers do.

You deserved it. You're irresponsible. You had premarital sex and got pregnant with someone who wouldn't even be in your life to take care of the child. Be more responsible with your life.

YDI for having a baby out of wedlock, with nobody to support you. You can't rely on friends to take care of you, you screwed up.

elle17, I can tell you right now from experience, I have had three occasions where the condom slipped,broke and I asked the guy not to use any. Guess what? It's been a year and no babies. Why? Because I am on birth control and right after the act, rushed to the nearest pharmacy and got two packs of Plan B. I bled for like 2 days but at least I the bleeding was proof that I wouldn't be saddled with a brat I NEVER WANT! Moral of the story: Contraceptives may fail but when they do, have another back up contraceptive

#175: I assumed from her vocabulary ("crush"), expectations of her friend, activities and mentality of her friend (sitting around all day eating Cheerios? Probably not an adult--definitely not a responsible one), as well as her text-arguing that she is a teenager. Yes, adults text too, but statistically, teens do so more than other age groups. I never said her mother didn't love her--quite the contrary. The fact that she was on her way proves she at least has a supportive family. Having a loving and supportive family doesn't mean they'd be stoked at having to help share the responsibility of a choice they had no say in, though. Parents can still be loving and supportive, but be pissed at the choices their kids make. And the part where she seems hell-bent on him being there, while the father isn't, makes me suspicious of her motives for having him there. Mom was on the way, she wouldn't be alone long. The fact she is more concerned with him being there than the fact she is in friggin' labor suggests there's more to her wanting him there. What makes you think it would take mom no longer than an hour to get there? What makes you think the friend is closer than mom is? Sounds like you're making assumptions of your own.

If your crush is not the father, you can't ask him to step into the role just like that, which is what asking him to be at the hospital while you have your child is. It's unfortunate that your best friend has become your crush - nothing kills a friendship quicker! It does sound like you're rather young from the other comments here. In which case, I'm sorry, and good luck with everything.

Mm...woah. People are being a bit harsh and judgmental. Whether the OP is young or old, or married or not, or whatever isn't the issue. She obviously seems fine with it - or if she's not (or shouldn't be, as some of you are pointing out), its still not the point of the FML. The whole point of the FML is that her best friend didn't come when she needed him. We don't have the right to judge on anything else since we don't really know anything for sure. OP: I'm sorry your best friend didn't come. That sucks. Congratulations on the baby! :)

I agree with #3, unless there are some circumstances preventing the father from being there. Though I see nothing wrong with wanting your mom and your "best friend" (by the way, he shouldn't be if he treats you like that) to be there. With the ambiguity of "crush", I don't quite know what to say about that not knowing more about your circumstances... but it comes across as immature to me.
