SIL is getting married abroad (2-3 hour flight) this summer when DS will be just 2. DH, DS and I were all planning to go over for a few days, but I have recently found out that I am pregnant, so I definitely won't be able to go, as will be approx. 35 weeks.
We were originally thinking that DH could just go with DS, but, on reflection, we both think this is a bad idea because the wedding is in the evening, so DH will end up missing most of it with putting DS to bed and sitting with him, plus he's worried the travel may be tricky on his own with DS. It's also going to be very hot and DS won't really know anyone else there, as he doesn't see his gps very often, as they live a long way away. I also (selfishly?) don't really want to be away from DS for 3 nights, while he is abroad, although he will obviously be with DH.
Anyway, we're both a bit worried about telling PILs about the pregnancy, as MIL in particular is very excited about the wedding, and I feel like she will ask about whether we're coming to the wedding immediately. DH will definitely go, but would you send DS too? DH and I both think it would be in everyone's best interests if DS doesn't go, but I know PIL will be disappointed if DS isn't there (less so me, haha!)
WWYD?
AIBU?
To not send DS (2) to wedding abroad because I can't go? WWYD?
