I have been seeing this lady since October during my monthley trips upto NY. She is due March 23rd. This weekend she asked me if I would be there for the birth. I don't know what to say. I live 3 hours away. I would like to say yes but I don't want to commit to something I might not be able to make. I guess my main thing is has anybody ever gotten this request and followed through on it? Thanks

Being asked to be there for the birth

I think it comes with the territory. Go for it, dude. She's probably a little lonely and scared, and it would likely give her a lot of comfort for you to be there. Might have to deal with her family a bit, but I think they'd understand if you were there for moral support because you guys have been dating in the short term. It's still not a commitment, and I think it might be good for you to do. I dunno how your conscience operates, but I'd probably feel like I was using her for her body if I didn't grant that request, maybe even a little shitty.
Was almost in the situation once. My friend was heavily pregnant and we had been hanging out a lot (in the awkward 'do I make a move' stage), when she went into labor in my living room. I drove her to the hospital, but her baby daddy was on his way, and they were still kind of, kind of not together and I decided that she did have a support group there, and I'd rather avoid the awkward situation. Up to you. Maybe ask if her baby daddy is going to be there. In case your situation takes a similar turn. 3 hour drive isn't too bad in the long scheme of things.
Thanks. I can probably stay up that way for a 2 weeks. As far as family and BD she hasn't said anything to me other than BD is white
She may want you there as a close friend, nothing sexual or romantic. Some pregnant women don't have the family (close proximity to them) nor friends to support them when they need be. You should be there to give out your support and be on her side, because you're there to view a wonderful event in her life she's glad to share with you.
Pregnant women are growing, showing, knowing herself...and glowing bright with life.
 Genderfluid Gyneophile feminist here! Autistic skills.
Unlike some people on this board I'm not sexually attracted tp birth.
