when she said you didn't know her situation, she was nicely telling you to butt out; that should have been your cue to leave it alone then. she's right, it isn't any of your business. you educated her with your first response, there was no need to say anything else because she had already ignored you once.

36 weeks is not SO early to be a big issue. 37 is considered full term so I would just let it go if I were you. I don't blame her for wanting DH there. When she said you didn't know her situation she was asking you to MYOB and you proceeded to give her more unwanted advice. You should have backed off the first time she asked. JMHO
If my husband didn't have a job in the military that let him out of deployments for birth, surgery, family illness, etc I might have done the same.
Sounds like she is going to be a really good mother, off to a great start. She is already putting her wants and needs ahead of her child. yikes.
Quoting BabySocks0912:
There's this girl I know who is pregnant with her first. She's 36 weeks. We were good friends in high school (she's 3 years younger, but she dated older guys so we ran in the same group) She's trying to have her baby now because her husband is leaving soon (military). She was posting on her FB about it, others giving her advice on how to jump start her labor (some bad which I and others quickly pointed out to her just so she wouldn't risk her baby's life). Well, I told her IMO she should let her baby come naturally obviously there's a reason he's not ready to be born yet. Also she's still early. At first she took it lightly, but said I don't know her situation and she appreciated my advice. Well, later she said she was having contractions, but they stopped so she was going to try and start them again. I wished her well, advised her again to wait and that although I know SHE is not a selfish person what she was doing was selfish to her baby. What if he wasn't ready? Had a low birth weight? Other issues? She got very mad at me and told me her dr said premies were only babies born at 34 weeks and lower (I call BS on that one, but she insists her Dr is right!) And that her mom and her friend and this person and that person all had their babies early and they were fine. Then said "mind your own pregnancy, thank God this is my baby and not yours I'm doing what is right for him." I don't see any of her points and I worry for her baby, but I just decided to MMOB (mind my own business). There's not getting through to people like her especially with so many people encouraging and helping her. Women like her just make me mad. Going into the military you are aware that your SO could miss the birth of your child. I understand she wants him to hold their son together and witness the birth.. But why put the baby at risk? Its just such a shame.
lol. i get annoyed at the very same thing. people are ignorant and only care about themselves. women think the EDD is like an expiration date. they can be two weeks off (early or late). my dh is military and him missing a birth is just something you deal with. my kids health is more important than any thing.
just let it go. i tend to block those post from coming up on my news feed so i dont get annoyed by them.
