Pregnant Wife Insists That Her Husband Holds Her Hand During Childbirth Instead of 'Fulfilling His Fantasy' of Delivering the Baby Himself

No matter which way you slice it, pregnancy is intense, messy, and quite frankly, a little terrifying. For your first child, the thought of the unknown combined with centuries of birthing complications can swirl in a woman's mind for 9 months, heightening the worries and woes that come before you hold your cherished newborn. This is why a lot of ladies lean on their husbands for support in the delivery room. With a warm hand to squeeze and a reassuring face by your side, you tackle this new parenting lifestyle side-by-side. 

But for one woman on Reddit, her husband decided to make her pregnancy all about him, attempting to abandon her during delivery so that he could fulfill his Mr. Man fantasy of delivering his own baby. While it's pretty cool for a doctor by profession to claim he delivered his own child when your wife is trembling at the thought of childbirth, the right thing to do would be to stick by her side, right? 

Well after her stubborn husband tried to insist on his own childbirth vision, this pregnant woman stood up for herself and confronted him, challenging his masculine fantasy and replacing it with her own female reality.
