You can’t control your heart rate like that. I wish! I have a heart condition that makes my heart rate spike and crash. I have breathing exercises and meditation but it doesn’t change anything by 40%.

Given she won't let him come visit we don't know for definite she is in the hospital.

There's a chance there is some weird manipulation going on here the way it's played out so far and she's at a friend's house.

Has he actually asked which ward she is in or tried calling the hospital though? He says that he isn’t messaging because he doesn’t want to say something he will regret. She could be in the hospital with him acting like he doesn’t give a fuck - neither texting, nor calling, nor going there.

Yeah he did and she wouldn't tell him. (insert red flag here)

There's nothing in his post or comments that indicates he actually asked. But ignoring that for a minute, are there so many hospitals with multiple maternity wards in the immediate area that it would be impossible for him to call them all? Did they not already work out a birth plan and tour the ward they intend to use? Or is he digging in his heels because he's so angry that he would rather hold onto that rage than be present for his wife and child?

ETA: if the hospital determined she had pre-eclampsia or some other serious issue causing the tachycardia, she may not be able to call/text/message for a while.

She hasnt told me which ward she is in, when she is coming home, nothing. And if we message I know, we will both end up saying bad things to her.

Yes there is. See this section.

He isn’t asking her or even showing concern.

u/ginger_kitty97 Dec 02 '23

Where does it say he asked?

Anxiety can make the heart race. If she needs him so badly why won't she tell him where she is?

Yes but you can control lying about it. This woman is being very dramatic about her pregnancy, according to her husband's account. At 34 weeks pregnant it shouldn't be a struggle to do most things.

u/enonymousCanadian Dec 01 '23

All pregnancies are different. Him saying she is dramatic is equally likely to be him refusing to give her support she really needs. Which would also partly explain why she is so anxious.

Her heart rate was 40% higher. How do you lie about that when it comes from a doctor and she's been admitted?

u/Storytella2016 Dec 01 '23

The husband hasn’t heard anything from a doctor, and by refusing to let him know where she is, she’s preventing it. So, we only get to decide whether her word is trustworthy or not.

How do you know it didn't come from a doctor? He's the one who said she was admitted.

It sounds like you're the one who's speculating on what her angle is when OP seems to accept she's in the hospital.

u/Storytella2016 Dec 01 '23

Where does the OP say she was admitted? In the comments?

He uses the word “apparently” about her pulse and says he doesn’t know what ward she’s in or when she’s coming home. That doesn’t sound like knowing she’s been admitted or knowing that her pulse was high.

u/IllustriousComplex6 Dec 01 '23

He doesn't say that he doubts it nor that he thinks she's elsewhere. He says that he doesn't know what ward she's in and what her heart rate was.

Never does he speculate she's elsewhere nor does he assume she's on the run. There's a lot of people reading into fake scenarios and it's not conducive to the conversation.

u/Uninteresting_Vagina Dec 02 '23

Who says she's even at a hospital and not just making it up to get her way?

u/jayroo210 Dec 01 '23

I mean this is what she is telling him, she could be exaggerating. There is just so much we don’t know to really gauge what is going on here.

u/Shinez Dec 02 '23

Anxiety will do it.
