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.

174- How about YOU go to hell and get on with YOUR life? I'm getting on with my life just fine. Yea, I'm pissed that I got left but guess what? There isn't anything wrong with my child and he ALWAYS has a smile on his little face. So screw you! BC doesn't always work. I was on BC when I got pregnant and didn't know it. So emergency contraceptives really don't work if you're already on BC. It IS possible to get pregnant without planning it and still be on BC. Things happen.

lol @ the people defending teenage pregnancy. But I guess it's possible that the OP is actually a full adult who simply has a slightly less mature vocabulary when it comes to matters of the heart.

Yeah, I really don't get why we have to assume the woman has had an unwanted teenage pregnancy. Single mothers in this society aren't uncommon at all, and when your in labour, believe me you have ages to entertain yourself. Contractions aren't particuarly painful, so you want something to do. I am a bit curious about the OP use of the word "crush" though. It's a bit strange using that term to describe a Best Friend - maybe her best mate decided he wasn't into pregnant chicks? Who knows.

lmao what a loser. you must be like 14 years old if you have a "crush". and why would you text your crush instead of the baby's dad? why would he go to the hospital to see a little pregnant teenager in premature labor

why the hell are you writing on FML when you have a newborn to look after?

Okay, what? Some things aren't clicking to me... For starters, you're in premature labor...on a cell phone? Trust me, I was born premature, and I don't even wanna repeat what my mom told me about the pain and so forth that went on in there. Long story short, I don't think anyone would want to be on a phone while pushing out a baby, especially a premature one. Secondly, why would you call your crush, and somehow KNOW that he's watching TV while eating cereal, unless you A. have really good hearing through the painful moaning or B. He told you "**** off, I'm watching TV while eating cornflakes!"? Thirdly, why WASN'T the baby's father there with you? I plan on being there whenever my girlfriend or future wife or whatever has my baby for me, no matter my state of being, that's MY baby and I wouldn't want anyone besides me, my mother, and/or my girl's parents and siblings in there with us. Now, I'm not calling bullshit or whatever, but if you can't even get ahold of your own mother but have the ability to post an FML, then what the Hell?

well maybe you should wait to get pregnant till you're married, then you'll have the father with you rather than trying to get other people to show up

I seriously suggest a lot of you sharpen your reading comprehension skills. It does not say "I am pregnant FML." There is nothing in this story indicating that the OP is even remotely regretful of her pregnancy, so all if your opinions as to whether or not she is fit for motherhood are completely irrelevant and unappreciated. The story is about her best friend and love interest leaving her alone in a time of need for something she deems insignificant. So please, grow up, and stay on topic.

how OLD are you? having a baby and STILL referring to people as "crushes"?? you can't be too old..
