A new mum has told of her ‘heartbreak’ after an explosive argument with her husband led to him missing the birth of their daughter. After admitting her husband’s close female friend had never liked her, she then told how on the night she went into labour, a furious row broke out over some messages the women had been sending one another.

She said: “I was nine months pregnant and we were having a hangout with some friends we shared. Near the end of the night, his friend Madison came out of the room crying with my husband Michael looking angry.

She went on to say that her husband then called her: “A raging b**** and a c**t” leading to the mum-to-be to start crying, before telling her he'd found out about the 'abusive' text message she had been sending to his friend: “In the message I told her to f*** off and that we would not allow her near our child", she admitted, before saying: “I did send this, but it was taken completely out of context.

"I only sent this text after the many racist text messages that she sent me talking about my child and I. I am biracial.” Instead of hearing her out, her 'heartless' husband immediately kicked her out of the home they shared, and when she started experiencing cramps, told her to ‘stop faking.’

After heading to her mum’s house her water broke, so she drove herself to the hospital, calling her husband en route, only for her call to be declined. “At this point I was in too much pain to call anyone else,” she recalled, heading to the hospital to give birth alone. “I pushed for two hours without an epidural and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Grace Noel.”

“Giving birth without my husband by my side was the final straw for me. I decided to post all the hurtful messages his friend sent me on Facebook,” she said. After an hour her husband called asking to talk: “I informed him of my whereabouts and he shows up about 42 minutes later. He has tried to apologise multiple times, but I don’t think I can forgive him,” she admitted.

“I went through the pain of pushing out an eight-pound baby by myself, all because he chose to believe his best friend without listening to me.” After taking her traumatic tale to Reddit she was met with an outpouring of support, with many telling her exactly what they thought of her husband’s behaviour: “He not only missed the birth of your daughter, he called you grossly misogynistic names, believed his toxic friend and wouldn't even listen to you.

"There are lots of things he's done that would warrant your decision not to forgive him, not just making you go through labour alone.” Another comment simply said: "You do mean ex-husband, right?” while another said: “Run. Take that baby and run.”

One reader advised her to leave him: “Find someone better down the line. His reaction was ridiculous, especially because he wouldn’t hear you out first. I am legit so angry at him for this. You take care of yourself and your baby girl. Congratulations and don’t feel sorry.” “The fact that he kicked you out of your home and told you to stop faking (while you were contracting) is enough to leave him. “
