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.

Beat him! Well, find out if he has some phobia of pregnancies or something. Then beat him!

How are you pregnant and having a baby... when you have a crush on someone... which means hes not the father....

i dont know the whole story. she wanted him to wear condoms and im guessing they had sex before and he has control issues. she dumped him after she got pregnant. I dont know the whole entire story. Im just gonna keep saying it. dont assume anyrthing.

BlackMamba04 yay. Someone else backing her up. I just have to back this woman up, I have no idea why. Probably because of all the horribly sexist comments.

NotNegativeNews: Sexist comments? Like how it's her fault for being pregnant when all evidence says she really shouldn't be? No matter how much you want men and women to be identical they're not. Women have babies, and the only chance men have of preventing them is by wearing a condom. Women, however, can take birth control pills, insist the man wears a condom, take the morning after pill if things go wrong, and even have an abortion if things go very wrong. It is a woman's responsibility to make sure she doesn't end up pregnant, unless she is in a stable long-term relationship in which case her partner is also responsible. Men shouldn't be going around making women pregnant (obviously), but when it comes down to it they can shirk the responsibilities of parenthood a lot easier. And the woman is very much responsible for the child's development in her womb, so eating healthily and not ingesting toxins like alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. So yes, the responsibility is very much skewed because only one gender has a uterus. Sorry. Also, regardless of all the individual lovely stories of people who were raised by a young single mother and grew up to greatness, the statistics still stand. If you have a child as a young single mother, that child is significantly more likely to amount to absolutely nothing.

#171. Many women can still drive while in labour. Or they call an ambulance. Or yes, a taxi. Why shouldn't a best friend be able to do this stuff?? Is it just cos he's a guy? Nice way to be sexist there... I know some guys who totally would do it without a second thought, when they're not the father, if it's their best friend. I agree, he may not be her best friend. But don't say that just because he's a guy he's allowed out of everything and his behaviour should not upset her. Why is an hour of sitting with her being a surrogate father figure? Half my friends are male, and I really hope if I ever get pregnant they won't act like that, and I have to rely on my female best friends only. It's a personality thing, not a 'it's because they're guys'. My female best friends probably wouldn't be too into it either. My male friends always seem like they would do that for someone. If my best friend were male and in the country (he is, and he's not) then I'd hope I'd be able to call him to sit with me for an hour. Blackmamba04 don't you know that everyone who gets pregnant without a father is a teen? :P

cantabaguy: He does wear them. However she doesn't have a back up method that's just her responsibility, though she's always trying to find one. Pills made her really ill and so she predicted with help of the doctor that so would the implants, she had trouble with nuva rings, her iud ruptured her uterus the other week (when i first heard about her issues), etc. And diaphrams apparently require you to put it in quite a bit before sex, so that doesn't entirely work either. So, she's just on condoms. And they break, slip, etc etc. She is most certainly not a ****. (though I don't like her boyfriend. I can totally see them fighting and breaking up in the last stages of a preganncy)

#236: Wow, if you're an adult, I pity you, I mean it: PITY. I'm 16 and don't even have to read half of these; Give me 150 (half or majority is 51%, I'd accept half, though) of the posts w ho call this woman a *****. In your retarded statement directed at me , think long and hard before you practice your half-assed SAT vocabulary on me. Either you need to grow up, face reality, or repeat first grade, because you're an obvious hypocrite with a reading disability. "it's best to be quiet and look like a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" I'm guessing you should take that into mind before attempting to harp on the minor wording mistakes of someone on a forum.

NNN: 'she is most certainly not a ****' ... where did that come from? Did I claim she was a ****? If the boyfriend always wears condoms, she doesn't have much to worry about. Condoms combined with spermicide is pretty effective. Besides, there are plenty of other things they can do apart from having full vaginal sex to satisfy their urges, and thus have full sex less frequently and further reduce risk.
