We’ve seen tons and tons of stories from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen one quite like this before…

And that’s a good thing…

Because we like to be surprised!

Check out what’s going on in this story and see if you think this woman is being unreasonable.

AITA for wanting my husband to hold my hand during birth?

“I (35f) am 7 months pregnant.

I am married to a Family Medicine Doctor (35M) and we’ve been together 10 years.

My husband really wants to deliver the baby which I can kind of understand.

It’s not uncommon for doctors to deliver their own kid.

There is still an OBGYN there monitoring everything, and the doctor father steps in at the last minute as mom is crowning to just catch the baby.

She has other plans…

My husband has I guess always dreamed of being the one to pull the baby out, while I pictured it very differently.

I thought he would be up by my head, holding my hand and helping me through it.

He says he will do that, but the easiest part is the very end where I won’t need him anyway.

He said if I really want someone there, his mom can step in.

I’ve been on my own since I was a kid living in my car, so I don’t have anyone I’d want in there with me except him.

I don’t really even want his mom in there.

She’s great, but he’s my person.

I know it would be “cool” for him to deliver our baby, but I really feel like I need him there.

I personally didn’t want our doctors to know he was a doctor, because as soon as any of my doctors, or even our vet, finds out he’s a doctor they talk exclusively to him.

This sounds frustrating…

I don’t even want him to go the prenatal appointments anymore because no one talks to me.

They all talk to him, and I can’t ask my questions to anyone but my husband at home.

But he’s already told everyone he’ll be delivering his first baby.

I guess I don’t want this because I wanted him to be there as a husband and a father, and not a doctor.

I see him as a doctor 95% of the time, and I wanted to experience this with my husband and not my husband the doctor.

I wanted him to be there for me as this is my first birth and I’m terrified. He just keeps telling me I’ll be fine.

Everybody has an opinion…

He pulled in friends/family who also don’t understand my POV.

They said this is his first child too, and to just let him have this since I had the honor of being pregnant.

I just really wanted him to hold my hand all the way through it, and be able to share this experience as parents and people instead of a medical professional.

I was hoping we could see the baby at the same time and just be equals in this.

Am I being selfish for wanting this to be my way?”

Let’s see what folks had to say on Reddit.

This person shared some advice.

Another individual said she’s NTA.

This person had a lot to say.

Another Reddit user chimed in.

And this person spoke up.

All she’s looking for is a little comfort…

And he’s not listening at all.
