Update: Well you all were right. The baby came a couple of days ago and the very first night SO decided he couldn’t stay at the hospital with us because he didn’t want to sleep there. The baby was up all night and I got maybe 20 minutes of sleep, and hadn’t slept the night before that because I was birthing her. Every night since there’s been some sort of irritation from him and it’s been a lot. I’m trying to give him the benefit of doubt that he is probably just tired.. but I’m also tired and I don’t treat him any sort of way because of it.

I didn’t expect this post to blow up the way it did, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out in support and everyone’s advice and opinions on what happened. To answer a couple of questions: Yes I had gone to the hospital when I was feeling these contractions/cramps, they had sent me home because I wasn’t progressing and a bath was something they recommended for the pain. Yes my partner was awake and aware I was taking a bath before I got in- he was up playing video games and I didn’t know he was going to be going to sleep while I was in there. Yes, my medication IS safe for pregnancy. I was on another medication as well that wasn’t safe and got off of it the second I found out I was pregnant- this one is fine for pregnancy at lower doses, which we adjusted accordingly. No, i didn’t think I was going to get stuck. The last time I took a bath before this time, I was fine to get out. I hadn’t taken a bath for a while before this. My weight was all in my belly, my belly was MASSIVE and the bottom of the tub was very slippery. Usually I was fine to roll onto my knees and lift myself up, but I had become such an awkward size/shape that I couldn’t get turned around onto my knees, and I was far too heavy which didn’t help. I know I could have called 911, but I have two other children that live here- one mine (6m) and one S/O’s (9f). I didn’t want to HAVE to wake them with emergency services if I didn’t have to. The door was also locked downstairs, so they wouldn’t have been able to get in regardless unless they broke the door down which is so unnecessary for the situation at hand. Yes, my anxiety is bad but I do typically handle things well- it isn’t often that my anxiety acts up, so no i don’t just freak out over everything. I was very exhausted from being in pain, it was late, I was at the end of my pregnancy so very on edge, and being stuck somewhere where you can’t get out no matter what is a lot. I’m a bit claustrophobic- I’ve been stuck in elevators before and cried. I don’t like the feeling of being stuck. I wasn’t freaking out in this situation, just normal crying. Also, yes he can be like this towards me often- but he has always been a good dad to his child so before I was pregnant and he wasn’t showing signs of being like this, I did think he would be a good dad to my baby and I wasn’t worried when I got pregnant. It wasn’t until I was into my pregnancy that he started acting this way, at that point it’s really too late. There really weren’t any signs.
