When a pregnant Christie’s water broke, the pain was unimaginable. She called her husband, begging him to come home, but he told her to take the subway to the hospital. Panicked and exhausted, she rushed to the subway, with her father-in-law’s reaction adding to the chaos of the day.

Hey everyone, I can’t believe I’m sharing this, but I think it’s important. Last Monday evening, I went into labor with my first child…

The pain hit me hard, and before I knew it, my water broke.

Panicking, I sprang to my feet with all the strength I could muster and called my husband, Francis, who was still at work. I begged him to come home as fast as he could.

“Francis, please, you have to come home now! The baby’s coming! My water broke,” I cried, my voice shaking with fear and pain.

To my shock, Francis told me to take the SUBWAY to the hospital. I was SPEECHLESS. How could he even suggest that?

The contractions were coming one after another, intense waves of pain that stole my breath. I hung up, heartbroken and in tears. But a primal fear gnawed at me.

I had to get to the hospital, and fast.
