Woman Helps Pregnant Best Friend Give Birth — Realizes Her Husband Is Dad While Changing Baby’s Diaper

A woman was overjoyed when her best friend became pregnant. She stood by her side throughout the childbirth, wearing a "daddy wristband" and finding the whole experience truly beautiful. Little did she know that the baby she had assisted in delivering had another, somewhat unsettling, connection to her.

In 2021, Hailey Mae, a mother of four, experienced a series of unexpected events that would profoundly reshape her life. She chronicled her extraordinary journey in a thread of TikTok videos, which have since been removed from her account @haileymae93.

Hailey explained that she had drifted apart from her best friend but reconnected when the latter became pregnant. She felt a strong urge to provide support and welcomed her friend back into her life.

Expecting the Unexpected

Hailey played a crucial role in accompanying her friend to various doctor's appointments, and she recalled driving her to the hospital when she went into labor. She was with her friend when she received an epidural and even wore a "daddy wristband."

This led her to make the difficult decision to ask him to leave their lives.

The U.S. mom also had the privilege of giving the baby her first bath. She described it as a beautiful experience, one she was happy to be a part of and would cherish for the rest of her life. However, little did Hailey know that her world was about to be turned upside down just three days later.

Regrettably, it was during a diaper change that Hailey made a startling discovery. While placing the three-day-old baby on the changing table, she noticed a pair of small, distinct hereditary birthmarks on the baby girl's neck, which she described as "bowling bumps"—something she was very familiar with because her oldest son had a similar mark.

These birthmarks were an extra piece of cartilage that grew outside the neck, making the baby appear as if she had "little Frankenstein bumps," as Hailey put it. Hailey, who knew that several of her husband's other children also had these birthmarks, instantly realized that the baby was her husband's child and he had cheated on her with her best friend.

An Unlikely Arrangement

After Hailey's shocking discovery of the hereditary birthmarks, she and her best friend, who was standing beside her at the time, exchanged significant glances. Overwhelmed by the revelation, she felt the need for a moment of solitude and excused herself.

Upon returning, her best friend openly confessed to her involvement with Hailey's husband. It wasn't until several months later that Hailey's now ex-husband eventually acknowledged their affair.

During this tumultuous period, Hailey's had best friend had moved in with her and her husband, forming an unusual living arrangement. Hailey humorously likened it to a "sister-wife situation," where they supported each other in caring for their children.

Another Bombshell Revelation

Although her best friend eventually moved out, they reportedly maintained an amicable relationship. Hailey explained that, in the end, her children share a blood connection with her best friend's daughter, and she wanted them to have that familial bond.

But Hailey wasn't done receiving her fair share of bombshell revelations; another appalling detail came to light. She was horrified to discover that her former husband had fathered at least nine kids without her knowledge. This revelation shook her to the core.

After learning about her now ex-husband's secret life throughout their marriage, the mother of four made a life-altering decision. She decided to move to a different city to ensure that her children would not inadvertently end up dating their half-siblings.

Hailey shared her feelings and the mind-boggling discovery in a TikTok video. Addressing her TikTok followers, she captioned her post, "Now ex-husband. He has confirmed 9 kids. I had to leave or my kids could have dated their own siblings."

Starting Over

Hailey further expressed the unsettling experience of seeing a child who resembled her husband in the small town they lived in. In her video, she mouthed along to the audio, "What's your name, who's your daddy," and the clip garnered thousands of views.

The revelation of her ex-husband's hidden family left Hailey with no choice but to embark on a new chapter in a different city, hoping to shield her children from the complexities of their father's undisclosed life.

According to sources, Hailey's eventual separation from her spouse didn't happen immediately; instead, it was unraveled when she came to the agonizing realization that he could never be the father figure she desired for her kids. This led her to make the difficult decision to ask him to leave their lives.

As for Hailey's best friend, she, too, reached a similar understanding about the man they had both been connected to. Consequently, she decided to sever ties with him completely, preventing him from having contact with their child.
