Today, I'm found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I spoke at length about how we were going to handle things, which included him "forbidding" me from having an epidural, because he doesn't want our baby to "come out addicted to drugs." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out I'm pregnant. My husband reacted by going out and smoking weed, then getting completely shitfaced, and having his buddies drag his nearly-comatose carcass back home from a strip club. FML
Today, I found out that my unborn son has an abnormally large head. I have an abnormally small and narrow pelvis, and I'm allergic to local anesthetic, so no epidural or spinal for me. FML
Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML
Today, I learned that not only am I pregnant, I'm too far along for an abortion. My husband and I originally bonded over the fact that we both hate children. FML
Today, I had the abortion my husband and I agreed on, after multiple forms of birth control failed. His family somehow found out, and now they're all mad at us for not telling them I was ever pregnant, with a child we never wanted, and took precautions to avoid creating. FML
Today, I called my ex and told him I was pregnant with his child. He was thrilled, going on and on about how much he wanted to be a dad. I had to tell him I was going to abort it. FML
Today, during the birth of my first child, my epidural didn't work. FML
Today, I found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I told my husband I might want a baby, so he took me to visit his best friend who has a toddler and we stayed for an hour. I no longer want a baby. I want the pill wrapped in 2 condoms and a joint vasectomy/hysterectomy paid for with my non-baby disposable income, and my husband now has a shit eating grin. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I also found out that the dad has a fiancée. FML

He will change his mind when you break his hand going into labor.

He's not the one pushing a baby out of his vag. Tell him it's your choice. And, sometimes doctors really want people to get them, so that they don't pass out from pain.

Tell him to learn about it first. The medication does not reach the baby and the child cannot get addicted to flippin epidural. Da fuq.

Um, actually, the epidural drugs don't get to the baby. If you don't use an epidural, then an alternative pain management route is IV narcotics. Which go through your blood to the baby. That's all despite the fact that medically administered medicine will NOT leave your baby addicted to ANYTHING. Ignorant people bug me.

Theres a higher chance of you getting paralyzed from the epidural than your baby becoming addicted to the narcotics. Plus the epidural space which is surrounding your spinal cord is separate from our blood stream therefore it wont even get to the baby.. Other forms of narcotics used can cause babies to be born blue from the lack of oxygen that baby gets while in utero.. That's when us nurses have to get your baby breathing again. I chose natural childbirth for all my kids, it's tough but that's what our bodies are meant to do :)

I don't see the problem. He's caring for you but doesn't want to admit so is pretending it's bad for the baby. It's really bad for you.

Wow, some people form some very terrible opinions of people. He may be ignorant, but you have to give him credit because he's worried about his child. As many of you have pointed out, the patient gets the final word. Stop being such terrible ass holes to the father because he forbade something in fear for his child, and instead encourage OP to educate her husband and let them decide for themselves.

No sex will change his mind, guaranteed to work.

If epidurals make children addicted to drugs, my body must be magically immune to it. My boyfriend prefers for his future wife to not have epidurals because he wants them to be born, "100% naturally".
