I wouldn't go. I stayed close to home the last 3 weeks before I was due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91612 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:17:13 +0000 winniebee 91612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I personally wouldn't risk it. I plan to stay w/in 30 mins of hospital for the last few wks before my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91608 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:05:08 +0000 MsMamaBear 91608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Baby Bear came exactly a week early at 39wks. Nope, wouldn't go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91605 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:01:46 +0000 pastemoo 91605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Then don't go--you have the world's best reason! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91570 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 07:12:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 91570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well for my first I was induced 1 week later but I heard seconds arrive sooner ( which I am hoping ) </p> <p>I told my sister the chances of me going were slim an then I read a message that my BIL sister is coming back from vacation that weekend so they might come for 1 of the 3 days. Isn't that odd? I know you shouldn't plan a party around people but I mean his sister/BIL and us. Maybe my sister sees it more like a friend thing. </p> <p>I would feel better if I didn't go. I have a wedding the week prior (If I haven't given birth) and honestly that's enough partying for my big belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91565 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:35:27 +0000 pastemoo 91565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I don't know. I'm still debating going to a wedding 9 days before my due date even though it's in Tennessee and I'm on the coast near DC.... It's all up to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91515 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 23:06:38 +0000 venice4504 91515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um no. I went into labor 2 weeks early plus that car ride would be horrid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91514 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:53:14 +0000 SAHM0811 91514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't chance it... Especially because this is #2 for you if I'm not mistaken. My first labor was 20 hrs but my second was just 6 hours from start to finish. </p> <p>It was basically like, I had lunch, made some calls, took a shower, got dressed, went to hospital, had a baby, then it was dinner time. My hair was still wet from my shower after I gave birth. LOL. It was fast. </p> <p>I know everyone is different, but as you know, subsequent labors often go quicker than the first so I'd say being 4 hours away is too risky... However, you could also decide closer to the date and talk to your OB about it at that time, but as I mentioned, I do think it would be pretty risky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91119 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:47:51 +0000 mediagirl 91119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I'm all about comfort and being in control. If you go into labor and you're 4 hours away, you don't have access to your hospital, do you want to labor in the car? Gah! Scary! I'd also think that car ride to and from would be miserable... :-( I'm sorry they scheduled the party so close to your due date and so far away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91109 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:21:01 +0000 SugarplumsMom 91109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't go. There's a lot of uncertainty involved and it's just not worth the extra stress, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91108 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:11:29 +0000 Kemma 91108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually planning on going to a wedding about two hours away from home on the weekend of our due date... Is there any uncertainty at all about your date?</p> <p>I say see how you feel closer to the date, and if you feel ok, go! My midwife has told me that if I'm travelling away from home in the last few weeks I need to take my midwifery notes with me and just be sensible about what I get up to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91090 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:55:00 +0000 Boogs 91090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first one came two weeks early so there is no way I would go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91089 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:51:10 +0000 tequiero21 91089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my c-sec is 3 weeks away and there's NO way i'd go. i feel so disgusting as it is and i can't walk very well or very far anymore. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91019 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:06:59 +0000 heffalump 91019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I'd be way too paranoid I'd go into labor.... and wouldn't want to be in labor for a 4 hour car ride home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/out-of-town-party-1-week-before-due-date#post-91006 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:44:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 91006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my brother and laws 40th birthday this year and my sister is organizing a surprise party at a chalet about 4 hours away 1 week before I'm due. (why 4 hours away, because it's closer to his hometown where all his friends are)</p> <p>I don't really understand her date choice seeing she knows we would like to be there but there's a big chance we won't. I'm not sure I would take the risk 1 week before. Would you? </p>
