I should be quite a sight! I can barely walk due to sciatica. Any tips for surviving the night? The plan is drinks, dinner, drinks, drag show, dancing. I plan to go to all events but duck out pre dancing (if I can't walk, I surely can't dance!) Luckily it is here in town, but any words of advice/encouragement would be much appreciated! I will be wearing a black, stretchy, comfy dress and flippy floppies, for sure.

Don't be shy - ask for a seat/chair wherever you can and stay hydrated! Have fun!

Oh man, I went to a bachelorette that sounds similar to this one at around 8 weeks and had a tough time! My tips would be, know your limits and allow yourself a coca cola as a treat. I was only 8 weeks and I needed the energy boost like crazy.
P.S. Any chance you're going to the Donkey Show in Harvard Square?? That's where the party I went to was....

@knittylady: I think I will have me a nice coke with lemon
Man, the early exhaustion is rough--I don't know which is worse! The big old achy body or the early fatigue. We went to the Donkey Show last year for a bachelorette and that was my last crazy night out before I got pregnant a few months later--now THAT was awesome, but I can't imagine doing it pregnant. We are going to Jacques Cabaret downtown, at least unlike the Donkey Show you are seated--wa hoo!! -
I was just in a wedding at 30 weeks, and there was a lot of dancing, standing, and walking! Have fun, and don't be afraid to take it easy and rest, nobody will fault you! Drink lots of water and don't feel bad ducking out early, especially if you get too uncomfortable.

Sounds like fun!
-
Sounds fun! You are a trooper and great friend for going!

I did an all weekend wine tasting bachelorette last weekend at 25 weeks pregnant. By the end of the first day my feet really hurt! Make sure to sit when you can. I also ordered a fancy virgin cocktail which was nice. Good luck!
-
Sounds like a good time--and you are such a trooper for going! I don't have any big tips except to take a couple of pictures so you can show your LO where you took him/her!

Thanks for the encouragement and advice, ladies! It was so much fun--much moreso than I had anticipated! I went home at a 11, but I made it through drinks round 1, drinks/derby watching (they even made me a virgin Julep at the bar :), tapas and dinner and the first portion of the drag show!
It was actually REALLY nice to get out and have a girls night, stuff my face, and have a little silly time. By the time I got home I was in so much pain from walking and sitting on a barstool, but it was more than worth it. Also, everyone was super impressed that I'd come out at 37 weeks and made me feel like a rockstar--they all kept saying I was their pregnancy idol. A nice little self esteem boost.

@maybebaby: so glad you had fun!!

@maybebaby: that is awesome! Glad you had fun
-
Glad you had fun!! We were at a wedding last night and I was seated next to someone 38 weeks pregnant - poor thing!
-
@maybebaby: Yay, I'm glad you had a nice time!
-
Glad you went and had a good time! Once your lo is here you'll probably look back and be even more glad you went.
And you are a pregnancy rockstar!
-
Wow, glad you had a good time. I'm only 27 weeks and already such a buzz kill I feel like so I was curious to see how this went!
-
@Sapphiresun: stretchy, comfy dress, flip flops and lots of sitting/water if you find yourself in a similar situation!
-
@maybebaby: you're my inspiration! So glad you had fun! : )

you are a such a rockstar! i went to bachelorettes at 6 weeks and 7 weeks and I now feel like i need a week of just sleeping to recover! I can't imagine at 37 weeks...I'm glad you had such a good experience!
