My Husband Told Me to “Handle It Yourself” While I Was in Labor So He Could Stay at His Mother’s Birthday—Then I Made One Phone Call
“Dad.”
He stopped.
That one word meant:
Do not make me defend my husband while I am in labor.
Dad understood.
He never asked again that night.
PART 4 — THE DELIVERY ROOM
Labor lasted hours.
Not the effortless movie version.
Pain.
