to be pissed off or am I hormonal and over reacting or am I getting my comupence for being soft

Dh has gone hunting again. I had origninally given him a deadline of no more trips after I was 36 weeks but he missed one due to bad weather. So I agreed if he didn't go too far and was reachable by cell phone then he could go. I wasn't overly happy with it as am now 37 weeks and ds is exhausting me thouroughly. I however caved and said he could go. He has just rung to say he forgot to charge the cell phone and it only has one bar on the battery so he will be keeping it off and just check it now and then!!! My midwife is on bereavement leave (we have the same one continuously here) my obstetrition has taken unexpected leave also (high chance of ceserean and wanted someone I knew was a good surgeon in charge if it came to it) and now my husband is most likely uncontactable. I have backpain and have had increasing braxton hicks all week and am feeling just a tad vulnerable.

I would be FUMING!
If it were me I would actually call or text and say you are having back pain and increasing braxton hicks, you feel very vulnerable and worried and if he cant charge his phone you think it wise if he comes back straight away.

Its just not responsible or thoughtful at all to go off and be un contactable when you could well need him!

I would be extremely annoyed - could he not even leave you a phone number of whoever he is hunting with? Irresponsible on his behalf imo and you shouldn't have had to say 'yes you can go' he shouldn't have asked!!!

Has he gone on his own?? If not, maybe you could get someone else's mobile number 'just in case'

he is on his own. I knew I should have said no but am soft and it is not really that likely that things will kick off 3 weeks early.

Leave a message you are in labour and when he arrives say it was a false alarm but if he had been contactable he would have known sooner and then hand your dc over to him and GO TO BED. Have a medical person there to check you over too, this baby could come 3 weeks early you know it has been known!!
Hope you get your rest and good luck!

YANBU. my DH always forgets to charge his phone and it drives me up the wall! i think he went off to do his hobby around 37 weeks too ...

YANBU, I would be furious that he asked to go in the first place, that he went, and that he forgot to charge his phone! I banned my dh from going away on a business trip when I was 38 weeks, good job too as ds arrived 2 weeks early, (but then I am a bit of a dragon, poor dh]

I would send him a text saying you only agreed to him going if he was contactable at ALL times, after all which is more important, you and his unborn child or a hunting trip?

I would send a text saying 'baby her, sorry you missed it'
