To now want to travel at 37 weeks pregnant to DPs home town

[MaryMotherOG]

Long story please stick with me.
DP and I are due to marry soon only I found out I am pregnant, DP is not the baby's father but he is a good man and has said he will still marry me, something to do with a dream he had.

Now I am 37 weeks pregnant and DP informs me we have to move back to his home town something to do with being counted,

He has only gone and got a bloody donkey to travel by, and as far as I know he has not made any bookings anywhere for us to stay now maybe I am just being hormonal but, AIBU to think this is too much of a journey?

Yawn.

What are the statistics for a non hospital birth for first time mothers?(assuming you don't already have a brood) are you sure it's the right thing?

Does your DP's home town have a breast feeding supper group? If you're not near your mum you might need some good advice? Try google

I'd stay put OP. You never know what could happen, the donkey could turn out to be an ass. Your claim your DP is a nice man but what sort of nice man would put his pregnant partner in the garage of the Travelodge? How is he going to react later, for example, if he feels your JDC gets more attention than him?

(always nice to see Fabbychic bring the happy tone down... )

Pack antihistamines, definitely a change of undies, some swaddling bands for the baby and you could probably do with a handful of salt licks too....

does his real dad not want to visit after the birth? i hope he will pay maintenance, if not i rrecommend the csa, after all, the bio dad may own the cattle on a thousand hills for all you know. (you do know don't you?)

Leave the bastard.

He sounds very controlling.

Where have i heard this one before???

Tell everyone you're a virgin and they'll believe you.
Even though it's obviously virgin on the ridiculous.

ERM, technically it isn't Christmas.......

YANBU. It's not fair on the donkey. Report him to the RSPCA. If you must go then definitely pack a robe I hear it can get chilly, seeing as you are having a boy maybe get a blue one?

Don't worry, if you look in the other gospels you will find

a) no mention
b) no mention
c) you never made that journey, baby will be born in Nazereth and hubby's family tree is totally different

Actually if you look in all four gospels you won't find a mention of a donkey until you ds is about 30.

I predict a 2 year honeymoon in Egypt- enjoy

I wouldn't. You're likely to be going through some pretty rough territory and a donkey will be too slow for the caravans. Let him go on his own and you can visit after the baby's born. You don't want your baby born there, it'll only lead to heartache later.

Angelswings The Birthplace Study only looked at hospital, MLU and homebirths. Nothing about dusty roads, Premier Inns, garages or stables...hard to say what the stats on hospital transfer in those cases would be.

Is it difficult to apply for CTC if you don't have a static address and birth certificate?

Is it a long journey? When will you arrive?

Leave the bastard!

No is a full sentence.
Take your birth plan.
