How long is it ok to leave an 8 month pregnant woman alone?

7xdaily · November 2017

Let's take take a poll: In what universe is it acceptable to leave an 8 month pregnant woman home alone for 3+ weeks (the third week of which there were no check in calls/texts.) Mind you, said woman has no family or reliable friends to look after her in case of emergency. Hint: It's not job or emergency related.

i figure she is an adult and about to be a parent. also implying this is isnt acceptable is a slap in the face of the amazing single moms who had to do both pregnancies and parenting alone.

WSS, and just adding on all the military wives that are living away from their families, many of them overseas while their husbands are deployed in dangerous places for months at a time. Maybe get a little perspective before you start fishing for validation.

@meggyme yes thank you! I forgot to mention those badass women!

Wow. I know a lot of women who were alone and/or birthed alone and they somehow managed. Unless you're high risk or need round the clock care due to a complication I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

Even if you’re not high risk, if you want someone you know to watch out for you and be there, then introduce yourself to the neighbors or hire a doula. Do something besides blame the father.

Seriously? Maybe have an adult conversation with them about how it makes you feel rather than creating a passive aggressive poll on an internet website?

With all due respect, said woman needs to put her big girl pants on, get out of the situation that requires her to feel that she has to rely on someone who is obviously not interested in her well being, or baby’s not that matter, and she needs to get real about life! A baby is on the way, and parenting is NO joke.

All of the above replies. My husband almost left to take a job a flight away for 1.5 weeks so he'd be coming back one week before my due date. Oh, the horror, the world is ending! It didn't work out, but it was a convo we had together. Presumably the parents discussed this.

I mean I got pregnant, I didn't become incapacitated and incapable of taking care of myself. I can dial for an ambulance in an emergency, and I can get an Uber if I am not comfortable driving. Sounds like you have deeper issues you should be discussing with your husband and probably a couples therapist rather than posting a passive aggressive poll on the internet.

I love how it's 100% "I don't see the problem."

sadly this appears to be a driveby as this is the one and only post from the OP

I probably could have predicted that. Probably the last too since she didn’t exactly get the responses she wanted.

Me too. Why did she even put that there if it’s not the answer she wanted to hear?

I mean it sounds like this already happened and it doesn't sound like she had any issues or gave birth during that time... so there SERIOUSLY wasn't a problem...
