Woman boots husband from delivery room because of loud phone calls with his ‘bros’

A woman who spent 26 hours in labour says she became sick of her husband making loud phone calls to his mates, and repeatedly asked him to stop. Eventually, a nurse had to ask him to leave

A new mum says a nurse had to kick her husband out of the delivery room, much to his fury, after he wouldn’t stop making noisy phone calls. The woman was in labour for 26 hours and says she “was in a lot of pain”. Unfortunately, her husband made things even more stressful, playing games and making loud calls to his “bros” who were away on a “boys’ trip” together.

She asked him to “please hang up”, only for him to call them back ten minutes later, wanting to hear more about their trip. When he eventually hung up, he apologised to them, blaming it on his labouring wife being “a nag.”

The annoyed mum – who goes by the username u/Moody009 – recounted her story on Reddit, explaining how things unfolded and why her husband is now furious with her. Having been frustrated by his behaviour, she told him to chat with his friends elsewhere if he needed to so she could be “in pain in peace.” Unfortunately, things only got worse from there.

She recalled: “He was like ‘alright fine baby I’ll just call them back later’ so I had about 20 mins of peace until his mum FaceTimed him where he proceeded to put me in the video call.

“His mum makes a comment about how she remembers when she was in labor with him and that she still did herself up. She even claimed she looked so good the doctor even was flirting with her.

“I was holding back everything inside me to not say something as I didn’t want to disrespect my mother-in-law but at the same time she sometimes just makes the stupidest comments at the worst times and at this moment I could not stand talking to her.”

In the end, a nurse ends up could tell she was unhappy and asked if everything was okay. After telling the nurse she just “really wanted to be alone”, the husband was ordered out of the delivery room, missing the birth of their first-born daughter.

He’s now refused to visit her after the birth, while her mother-in-law has blasted her as a “bad wife”. She now begun to wonder whether or not she made the right choice, turning to her fellow Reddit users for some words of wisdom.

One person commented: “I absolutely love and adore my partner, and he is literally only green flags. I’m pregnant and if he did even one of the things on this list while I was actively in labour I would get my friends to pack my s*** up and never come home to him. This is disgusting behavior.”

Another advised: “You didn’t ‘kick him out’. The nurse did because she was concerned for your health and the health of your baby. He chose to leave the hospital. He chose to boycott the hospital. He chose to be an a****** in the delivery room by not being there for you and for FaceTiming with his mum who started to make everything about her (who does that?).

“Yes, it’s boring watching your wife suffer through labour pains, but the answer isn’t to act like a two-year-old and play with your phone. If it was boring for him, can’t he guess what it was like for you? You were bored, in pain, and concerned about your baby. He has regrets because he messed up. Now he’s trying to blame you. I’m sure that you have some regrets now too, like why are you with this jerk?”
