DH just found out today that his bosses want him to take a trip in the upcoming weeks but he will not find out all the details until tomorrow.
He will be about a 5-6 hour flight away and there are not very many flight options in case he needs to rush home. My mom will probably be able to stay with DS & me while he is away but if for some reason she can't or has to go home, she is an hour away without traffic and probably closer to 2 during rush hour. Worst case scenario, I can probably have a friend come help out but we just moved so our closest friends are not even that close by anymore. The hospital is also 20 minutes with no traffic but an hour or more during rush hour. I don't know if the future can be predicted with my pregnancy/labor with DS but if it should be taken into consideration, I was induced with DS at 39 weeks due to suspected IUGR. I am being closely monitored this pregnancy because of it. So far it doesn't look like it's going to be an issue this time but the risk is higher than normal for me to need an early induction again. My labor with DS was fast but it could've been because of the Pitocin. From start of the IV until birth was only about 7 hours and that was starting max 1cm dilated. It could mean this second labor will be even faster or have no bearing whatsoever on the duration.

Given these circumstances, how close to your due date would you feel comfortable with your SO going on a work trip? One of his bosses is very understanding but the other one doesn't seem to care and thinks he should be able to go at any time they want him to. The problem is that the project that he has to help out with is not ready yet and probably will not be for several weeks. I will be 33 weeks on Wednesday.
