Drinking near baby due date?

[lemonfolly]

Need Mumsnet collective opinions please (light hearted) - AIBU to not want my OH to head to the pub for a couple of pints tonight after already having his limit to drive, when I'm less than a week until my Duedate for baby no2?

YANBU!

As long as he won't be too pissed to sit in a taxi...?

Is he walking?

YANBU. Unless he plans to carry you!

I was at a Christmas do the night before I went into labour and I was so relieved my DH chose to stay sober, he was annoying enough at the hospital let alone had he been drunk!

Do you have anyone else who could take you to the hospital? Would you mind getting a taxi?
Who will look after DC1 when you are in labour?

For what's its worth I think YANBU.

I wouldn't be happy about being in the pub, as it can be a nightmare contacting someone. My DH can never hear his phone over the music and bustle of a pub.

I think he needs to knock to boozing on the head for now.

He's already had a drink.

I always wanted DH to be fit to drive when I was close to my due date. Some MNers find that controlling; others prefer complete sobriety from birth partners from 36w.

Debatable continental based on previous 1-2 pint promises!

Walking to the pub, yes Joules But I won't be the 20 miles to hospital if needed

20 miles in a taxi would cost a small fortune!

Thanks all! DC1 has granny on standby. I'm not sure I could find a taxi around in our parts past midnight, so ideally I need him sober... Not sure I'd feel too comfortable wailing in a cab either lol
