to not want to go on holiday

[LittleMiss77]

my OH is pestering me to book a holiday to the Canary Islands in late March and I don't want to go.

I'm currently 14+4 and i'm still feeling a little peaky and i'm ready for bed come 830pm. Whilst my pregnancy hasn't been complicated to date, I feel uneasy about going away, this feeling is compounded by the fact that I am a very nervous flier(?) I hate it - I get anxious, sick and jittery and all sense of reason and logical thought goes out the window when I know I have to get on an aeroplane.

I don't think that me being in this state will do the baby much good.

On top of this - we have discussed finances with regards to maternity leave and it looks as though I will have to go back to work 6 months after the baby is born as we will be low on cash - this is not ideal, but if that's what needs to be done, so be it. This given, i'm loathe to spend what money I do have on a week in Tenerife, when I could be saving it and putting it towards maternity/baby items/saving to allow me a little more flexibility in how much time I have off.

OH is saying IBU - am I?

I'm going to go against the grain here and, it's only my opinion but I wouldn't fly or go abroad when pregnant because I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if anything went wrong. Yes, I know anything can go wrong in this country and yes, medical facilities are great in other countries and yes, some people have to fly places for various reasons and yes, pregnancy isn't an illness and yes I could have had a car\train\bus crash in this country but I know I couldn't have lived with the what ifs.

I think you will find you can use the slides? I went to South Africa at 24 -26 weeks pg and went on the waterslides and went surfing with no problem at all. Don't underestimate yourself. It was great to make the most of our last child-free time together
