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.

It amazes me how horrible people can be on here.

I'm guessing this was posted by a teenager.

YDI for the same reasons as #72 Just because you like him doesn't mean he has to like you. This would be an FML if you were actually in a relationship, but you're probably just overestimating your closeness. P.S. How the heck did you know he was eating cornflakes and watching tv? Stalker much?

-Surrogate???? probably not.... but you never know--so do not judge people, you do not know their situation. -There are TV's in the weighting room; but if not- most hospitals have TV's somewhere--- so two birds with one stone. The friend could of hung out with her for moral support; depends on how close they are, and still watch TV. He does not have be in the labor room; who knows he may have shown up by now. -Oh yeah "crush"--- probably just the hormones * Good luck--- hope the Baby is healthy, that is most important!

has anyone here blamed the father for any of this?? O right, because of course it's not his fault, it's totally ok if he ran off and abandoned his unborn child, it's the OP's fault for being a ****. How dare she have sex! Doesn't she know better than to give it up before marriage? It's OBVIOUSLY her fault for getting pregnant, it's not like the guy could've been responsible and worn a condom or anything. I mean, she could've asked him to, because it's not like men EVER need to take responsibility for birth control. Ok, sarcasm over. and just to respond to ihearnoises (#324), I don't know what the noises in your head are telling you, but your comment was a complete non sequitur to what I said. Is it a dream world to think that single women have babies?

Cant have pregnant bitches running around trying to impress their crushes with 7lbs babies. your pregnant ass should know better.

I agree with #53. It sounds like you were more concerned with the fact that your "crush" wouldn't come to the hospital than with the birth of your child. Forget about it. You have bigger problems now.

I think everyone needs to stop paying attention to the "crush" part and pay attention to the "best friend" part. People have crushes on their best friends all the time simply because that's the person you can trust and depend on, and who could possibly be a better candidate for romantic interest? Just because she refers to him as her crush doesn't make their relationship any less meaningful. I think that if he's her best friend, she's perfectly justified in wanting him to be with her until her mother got there. Also, the father could be anywhere. He could have left her, he could have died, or he could just be someone she doesn't want around the baby anyways. Don't jump to conclusions about her age or level of maturity just because the father wasn't around.
