to want to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary at 38 weeks pregnant

[thebeesnees79]

Its mine and the hubbys 10th wedding anniversary at the end of the month and I will be 38 weeks pregnant. is it unreasonable of me to want to have a proper celebration? my mum suggested me and the hubby go for a 2 for £10 at our local pub or get a takeaway, am I being silly wanting to eat at a proper restaurant and making it special?
we did originally want a party or to take our 2 children to euro Disney then we had our little surprise lol.
so what's everyone suggest? obviously I will be like a hippo by then but I still think the occasion is too special to do something as ordinary as a pub or takeaway dinner

You could go out with your husband instead of 'the hubby', couldn't you?

You will have only one 10th wedding anniversary so make the most of it. Pregnancy should not come into it except for journeys to foreign lands.

YANBU but remember most fancy restaurants serve non-pregnancy friendly menus!! I agree though that you should definitely do something special. And tbh it'll probably be your last chance to get out for a while!

Congratulations and best of luck for the new arrival!

thanks guys. I sound snobby but a pub lunch just doesn't cut it for 10 year anniversary's!
A nice Japanese or Thai restaurant would be so much nicer. I just need to stay away from the raw fish

why would you not? it was my anniversary when i was 38 weeks pregnant, and i went to a posh restaurant. in fact, i was making the most of going to restaurants at that stage because i knew my options would be limited once the baby arrived! no problems whatsover, but then why would there be if you have had an otherwise straightforward pregnancy?

okay, there is the small risk that you could go into labour- but then, that could happen anywhere. and if it did happen, then you have a good story to tell afterwards.....

It is my 10th anniversary tomorrow, and my husband got the when he suggested we go to Nandos...

lol squeakytoy I love Nandos but I am with you for a 10 year anniversary!
Coco If my waters did break I might get it free haha, wishful thinking :)

Not U at all. Although if you must use the word "hubby" you could at least apostrophise the appalling word properly.

But there's no reason at all why you shouldn't have a proper celebration. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't enjoy an anniversary properly.

I'd go for a fancy meal in a posh restaurant myself. So long as I knew it did good desserts.

haha hubby hubby hubby
could be worse, I also call him "the ball & chain" or "the destroyer of all things fun" note the "" just for youpandemoniaa [grins]
Tiago pudding are a must for me too while I have an excuse for the extra calories

I gave birth at 38 weeks... May I suggest the hospital café as a dinner venue?

scented my husband (not hubby) would be happy with that suggestion, it would cost heaps less :)
My first was born at 39+5 & the second 41 weeks so can't see me going early although I would love too

I ate raw fish all through my pregnancy with DS. He's absolutely fine if I dress him in polo necks to hide the gills

gills could be quite handy :)

I went for dinner and theatre the day before my due date. Unless you're going to be hours from hospital/home I cannot see why you wouldn't go out properly if you want to.

yanbu.

I was 38 weeks pregnant on our 10th anniversary earlier this year. we went out to dinner and the theatre.

mind you, I went out to dinner while in labour with dd1, so not much would have stopped us celebrating

Yanbu, go out somewhere fancy! Have you got anything nice to wear?

I think I saw that Phil guy who's the cook on this morning say that you can eat sushi etc at restaurants when PG. something to do with it being frozen first blah blah blah guidelines. Best googling first though!

as you probably already know most maternity clothes are so frumpy!! I have a few nice maxi dresses I could try just hope I don't look like I am wearing a tent.
So should we take the 5 & 3 year old dc with us or get a baby sitter and indulge :)
I feel totally selfish but eating out with two youngsters is far from relaxing

I celebrated my 21st when I was 38 weeks pregnant. It wasn't how I imagined my 21st to be, but whatever.

We went to a posh hotel and had posh dinner, it was lovely. The staff treated me like a Queen!
