CF in maternity clinic

[LongHotSummer24715]

I'm in the hospital maternity clinic and it is packed as usual. Everyone given the same appointment time so not enough chairs for women and partners. It's the same every week and so badly organised.
A young woman and her partner sat down beside me, she went to get water and someone else took her seat. When she came back her partner gave her a sheepish grin and continued to look down at his phone leaving her standing! I'm 39 weeks but offered her my seat as she seemed embarrassed. Lots of people were looking at him with mouths open but no one said anything.
Now that I look around there are quite a lot of men sitting with women standing. Considering where we are I don't think I'm being unreasonable to expect the expecting mammys to get a seat .

I don't bring my DH or DS here as it's always a 3 hour wait in a sweltering waiting room to see all the consultants

If it were my DP I’d have either sat on him or yanked him up but then it wouldn’t be my DP because he’s a normal human being with manners.

This guy sounds like an absolute arsehole, she’s in for a fun ride.

I knew that's where it was from the everyone's appointment is the same time. I always thought that was odd but just went an hour before they started with a charged up phone and cuppa.

Chivalry is truly dead.

When I was attending these maternity units I was surprised how many pregnant woman put their bags in spare seats when others were having to stand
