it's my cousins wedding on saturday. I was due last Sunday and am waiting! I really wanted to go to this wedding, of course. If I haven't had the baby by then I will be 6 days overdue.
This is my second pregnancy and my son was induced at ten days overdue (he took 51 hour from the pessary being inserted - so in no way was it a quick labour!).
I know second labours can be quick.
My mum has 4 children and we were All late. Not sure if that is a salient fact.
If I have had no show or contractions do you think it would be crazy to drive 1 hr 40 mins ( according to google maps estimate) to an afternoon wedding? We wouldn't stay beyond 8 oclock - my toddler would go to bed in the car on the way home.
Hearing crazily quick second labour stories I just wonder if it is a silly risk. But then again some people plan for hospitals that are 1 hours drive away!
It would just really be a bit depressing to miss it and not go into labour but spend the day at home.... (we have had to miss two planned holidays in this pregnancy because I had placenta praevia which thankfully has moved but I feel we have missed out on quit a bit already and we are not going a way this summer obviously because of having a newborn. Moan moan)
What would you do?????
