Welcome, Jenn. I am very sorry you are having to go through this pregnancy without the support of a loving husband and father to your child. His selfishness is a direct reflection of his addiction. His denial comes at a really lousy time for you and your children.

Please have a backup plan for getting yourself to the hospital. You can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. One of my sisters was delivered while my alcoholic father (AF) laid passed out on our living room floor. My mother drove herself, speeding, 30 miles to the nearest hospital. She was pulled over for speeding, and the cop then drove in front of her, lights flashing, while she drove herself to the hospital. Why he didn't put her in his own car, I don't know, but she made it and had a safe delivery, thank God.

Any amount of alcohol in his system is a threat to the safety of you and your baby while he is behind the wheel. Please don't allow him to drive if you have even a doubt of his sobriety.

You are in my prayers. Hugs to you.
