So...DH really wants to go to a concert in NYC (3.5 hr drive away) next Friday, when I'll be 36 weeks. Am I crazy for letting him go? I told him he absolutely cannot get drunk and must have his phone on vibrate...
-
I think if he's only a few hours away, keeps his phone on and promises to check in, it should be ok! If you were more like 39 weeks I would say heck no!
-
I wouldn't, but I also went into labor at 34 weeks.
-
@Bao: @littlek: I have a dr. appointment the day before the concert too, so I feel a smidge better about it.
-
@dagret: Yeah I would let him enjoy a night out before the baby comes!
-
I'd be ok with my DH going as long as he knows that I could call him back at any time. And I'd probably make him check in every few hours because he's miserable about checking his phone.
-
Nope not crazy.
-
Bee gave birth around 35 weeks!
Do you have a friend who can help you get to the hospital if the baby comes early? Then I wouldn't worry as much about it!
-
DH flew across country at 38w, so long as there's a plan for him getting back as fast as humanly possible, I don't see a problem, but you have to be comfortable with it!
-
When we were discussing it, I made sure that he knew that I could go into labor basically any time in the next 5 weeks. (Just because I don't know that he KNEW that...yesterday he was proposing ripping out our countertops and dishwasher "before the baby comes." Seriously.)
@mrbee: Yes - I was planning on asking a friend so that in case i had to go to L&D my mom wouldn't get jealous of my MIL (who lives 5 min away).
@oliviaoblivia: I definitely will emphasize the checking in on his part!
-
@Beebug: I am comfortable with it...since I have multiple alternatives to get to the hospital in case something did happen.
-
DH went on a business trip to Taiwan from weeks 36-37.5. As long as you have someone who knows that he's gone and can take you to the hospital in an emergency, I would let him go.
-
I would be fine with it as long as you don't feel like anything is happening.
