A MUM has divided internet users by saying she pleaded with her husband to save her life instead of their baby if there was a complication during labour.
The unnamed woman took to Reddit to say how she suffered from gestational diabetes and was forced to have a Caesarean.
The couple discussed what would happen during the birth, which took place two years ago, but the topic recently came up in discussion with her friends.
The woman said her friends called her an “a*****e” for asking her husband “to basically kill his baby”.
She said on Reddit: “So my daughter was born 2 years ago, I had a very good pregnancy but develop gestational diabetes at 32 weeks (due to me being overweight I was checking my sugar levels every other day).
“Due to this my OBGYN schedule a cesarean I didn’t have any issues with this I just wanted my baby to be born safely.”
Speaking of her husband’s decision, she said: “So before going in to the hospital I talked with my husband that if something where to happened and he needed to choose between myself and our baby to please choose me.
“He got quiet but said that he agreed and that please let me mother know about what we talked.
“Everything went according to plan and both of us where completely fine.”
The woman said they are now planning a second pregnancy, and is again pushing her husband to choose her during the labour.
She said: “I straight told my husband again that I’m scared that something may happened to me during the birth and in the hopes of giving my daughter a sibling I could leave her without a mother.
“That the original agreement stands that he needs to choose me if that’s the case.”
Her friends were less than supportive.
She revealed: “My friends where disgusted with my thinking and said that I was an a*****e to my husband in asking him to basically kill his baby (those where the exact words), that I was a very negative person and that I needed to rethink my thoughts.”
She asked people on Reddit for their opinion on the matter, and people had mixed reactions.
One said: “More like whoever has the better chance”, with another adding: “If you are risking your life to have another baby, why don’t you just adopt/foster?”
However, many sided with her, with one writing: “Yeah, using that logic, the alternative is asking him to kill his wife. Neither sound very good when you phrase it like that.”
A Reddit user sided with her, saying: “I hate the modern parenting culture where mothers are expected to always martyr themselves, where her health and her needs are totally ignored in favor of the baby.”
And another commented: “Your husband’s opinion and your opinion are the only ones that matter here – and yours even more than his.”
