...am I being stupid or just a lovely wife??
#2 is due end of Feb. DH has been invited to a 30th party (long weekend) at a city a 7hr flight away (3hr time difference) at the start of Feb. I'll be 36wks when he goes, turning 37wks the day he gets back.
I went into labour with #1 on my due date, and she took almost three days to emerge, so I'm not massively worried about an early/quick birth (although a friend of mine gave birth within an hour of her first contraction with #2 after a similar first birth which does worry me!). However we recently moved to another country where the whole attitude to pregnancy/labour/birth is very different to the UK (where #1 was born), so I'm already more than a little apprehensive of giving birth here... We have made some friends here (obviously not massively close ones yet), so I would have some people to call if I did go into labour early to help me/look after #1. I've also booked a doula who could get here within the hour so I'd have support.
He'd love to go (it's a close friend, in a city he's always wanted to visit) and I think I could cope being heavily pregnant and a toddler (#1 will be 2.5 then) but I'm not sure I'm not being an utter fool agreeing to it... I'd feel dreadful if I banned him and then baby didn't arrive until 42wks!!
If I told him not to go, he wouldn't. But I know he really wants to!!
Any views? Am I a fool to agree or just the worthy recipient of a really lovely present on his return ?!
