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.

Most of you are so retarded. A one-way ticket to hell for being a single parent? Whoring around? Do you realize how fertile some females are and they don't even know it? Yes, teenage pregnancy is an issue, but don't judge someone unless you'd like to be judged. You don't know anything about this person. You don't know her story. Many fathers decide to not be around, and even if they decided to, many fathers are unfit! My older sister's babydaddy is a druggie, do you think she wants him around her son? No way. You can get pregnant even while using condoms AND birth control. It's not common but it's happened, to people I know. How do you know she's been with more than one person? Being with ONE person doesn't make you a *****. You don't even know how old she is, and even if she was young it doesn't make her a bad person. People still use the term crush when talking about celebrities, I see older women use the term for celebs they like all the time. Perhaps more of you need to broaden your horizons a bit. Stop being so judgmental. As far as the person's mother being there- please. Women in their 30's and 40's would call their mother if they were having a baby. I know I'd call my mother whenever I decide to have a child. And having a best friend there? Maybe it does put too much responsibility on him, but it's not a wrong thing to ask either. Just being there, with nothing else attached isn't asking a ton.

This is so stupid. Don't think he is a jerk because he didn't want to be there, it's not his kid and he prob doesn't want to be stuck raising it. And for the people who said we don't know her, so we shouldn't judge her, then she should not have ******* posted this on the internet!

Screw you #88, no one cares. Do you people realize how common it is for unwed women to have babies and raise them on their own these days? You don't know the poster's situation, so don't judge until you experience something like this. Most of you don't even have the capacity to deal with something like this, and I guarantee that you would do much worse of a job than the poster. You should all go **** yourselves. Poster: I'm sorry. Whether the crush exists or not, he's your best friend and he should have been their. You're a strong woman and I applaud you.

I agree with 182, I wouldn't have gone either if I have were him. that's wayy personal and especially since he's a guy! What did you expect if he's not the father? Of course he won't be there.

I don't blame him. He probably knows you like him and doesn't want any baggage.

#181-No, I'm *not* making assumptions of my own, actually.I'm merely pointing out that this whole situation could be very different from the one that alot of you are assuming. And why do you keep talking about her being 'hell-bent' on him being there, & text arguing with him-what is it in this person's entry that suggests that to you?It sounds like she texted him asking him to be there for a bit, he said no, she's crushed.Can you point out where she said she argued with him, because I'm not seeing that? To answer your question-How do I know he's closer to him than her mom?Well, I don't, I'm assuming based on her sentence 'I asked if he void come sit with me for an hour until my mom comes'.

LOL I meant to put would, not void, in the last part of my previous post.My apologies for the error.

Where is the actual FATHER? It's not the most approriate thing for friends (or even best friends) to be hanging around while you're making life... especially for the opposite sex. And #181 is such a fool...

I had a friend who got pregnant, ended up breaking up with the father (they were engaged) part way through the pregnancy. The father was not interested in being at the birth. Maybe that's the deal with this girl for all of you who are asking why she didn't ask the father of the child to be there. But, I do agree with many- I suspect you are on the younger side and most men will not want to be around for the birth, so this "best friend" may not have wanted to take a chance of being there and then the baby popping out. My brother damn near passed out when my nephew was born.
