My Husband Told Me to Take the Subway When My Water Broke – His Dad’s Reaction Left Me Speechless

Last Monday, I went into labor with my first child. The pain was unimaginable, and my water broke. I called my husband, Francis, begging him to come home, but he told me to take the subway to the hospital. I was speechless and heartbroken. Desperate, I grabbed my bag and headed to the subway.

On the platform, I called my father-in-law, John. “Francis told me to take the subway,” I sobbed. The call dropped, leaving me in chaos. Strangers offered support, and one helped me into a seat. Their concern was comforting, but I felt alone.

When I arrived at the hospital, the nurses rushed me to the labor ward. My father-in-law burst in, furious. “Where’s Francis?” he demanded. “At work!” I managed through contractions. John called Francis, who rushed over, apologizing for his misguided advice.

Hours later, our beautiful baby girl was born. Holding her, the pain and frustration melted away. Reflecting on that chaotic day, I realized communication is crucial. Francis and I had a misunderstanding, but it was born out of concern.

Our family grew stronger, united by our love for Kristen. Despite the chaos, we learned the importance of empathy and communication. To all expecting parents, discuss your birthing plan, anticipate hiccups, and support each other. And maybe skip the subway ride during labor!
