Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out

some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider?

Then I'll like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from the Am I the Arsoul Here subreddit,

from Ambitious Frosting 813, and says,

Am I the Arsoul here for unintentionally getting a midwife fired.

Throw away for anonymity.

This also happened a few months ago, but I've recently been told I took

things too far. I'm active duty military. My wife and I began trying for a baby about two years

after we got married, and after a few months she got pregnant with our first child. About six

weeks after she found out, I was deployed for a six-month stint.

Sadly, that meant I would miss all of her of appointments, except the first one to confirm

she was pregnant.

Early in her pregnancy, she decided using a midwife would give her a better birth experience.

And I was totally on board because she's the one giving birth, and I wanted her to feel 100% confident in the people assisting.

It had also been decided that the people in the room, aside from medical staff, would be me for obvious reasons and one of our mothers.

My mum lives about an hour by car from the base I'm stationed at, while her mom lives a four-hour plane

right away. Ideally, her mom would be able to get there in time, but she loves my mom too,

and was okay with her being there if labor went fast, and her mom couldn't make it in time.

Fast forward to me getting back from the deployment and her being really close to giving birth, like due in a week close.

She was supposed to have an album appointment that I would be able to go to, but ended up going

into labor very early on the morning of the appointment.
