AIBU to book into hotel at 9 months pregnant?

[Pregasaurusrex]

House is being worked on by chump builder, who has already take double the time quoted. Tomorrow is the last day, he has colleagues giving him a hand to finish. They are starting at 8am and planning to finish by 6pm. They play music, and always vape, which annoys me anyway. Husband swans of to work without a backward glance. Consultant told me to rest as baby very small and signs of pre eclampsia. Should I just book into a hotel and spend the day with my feet up?

Book the hotel and have a rest doesn't sound like your get any at home with the builders. Take some treats for yourself ( book, film, sweets) to enjoy

At 9 months pregnant, take your hospital bag with you just in case.

Joint account, it's a baby expense

Oh yes. Go and book it now. A decent hotel with a short shopping trip for treats and books on the way. Enjoy!

do it and charge room service to the builder

Joint account! This is a joint baby! You have made me insanely jealous- I have in laws coming tomorrow evening, I might consider doing the same thing and leave them to entertain dd

Do it! And yes to the joint account.. Pretty sure your DH wouldn't enjoy being at home in the circumstances you describe, even without being very very pregnant. Assuming you are not so hard up that the expense would cripple you then absolutely do it!

Go tonight, and stay two nights

Definitely do it. Go to one that has a lovely spa, treatments and top food.

You will not regret this! I wish I had done that.

If you can afford it, do it. But remember your maternity notes, make sure you are contactable and plan your way to hospital (even if that just means having a taxi number to hand). Also consider agreeing you will send texts at set times to confirm you are OK (presuming you will be alone). You wouldn't want to collapse in the immaculate ensuite and have no one know. Sorry I am such a killjoy. Need to work on that.

Unfortunately, because I'm measuring 30 weeks and don't actually look all that pregnant, DH is being useless. I know it's very indulgent, but I just want someone to look out for me! I've booked it for tomorrow. Check in at 12- hoping they will let me in earlier!

Spend all day having spa treatments to avoid being left alone.

Do it.

Snacks, books, extra tea bags for the tea/coffee making facilities.

Room service lunch.

Snooze in a sunbeam or generally slob about.

Jobs a goodun!

Quite jealous now.

I would definitely go. Just tell your husband to let you know when the work's finished and the cleaners (that he's booked) have gone and when the supermarket delivery has arrived.

Book a professional post build clean as well so that the house is all sparkling when you get back!

Haven't read the thread but ywbu if you didn't. Make sure there's a pool and a nice restaurant too.

YES, and you need 2 nights, one to settle in - strange bed, etc. - and one to really enjoy. Have fun and a good rest. Can you charge the builder for the extra cost?

I fancy booking MYself into a hotel for a couple of days and having a professional house clean done as well - only I'm not 9 months pregnant and don't have the excuse!

I definitely would - choose a hotel with on site spa and get yourself and mani and pedi while you are there. Speak to your DH and pay from joint account.

Oh yes and I definitely second (third... ) booking a professional cleaner for after builders. The day I went into labour with DD the shitty builder turned up and made a mess (we had no choice as rented house at the time).
DH came home elated from birth of DD to a house under an inch of building dust and had to try and clean before I came home with tiny baby the following day.
Bastard builder

Sounds like a fab idea and just what you need in the circumstances.
I booked into a hotel at just under 36wks after an event I went to, I would usually drive home afterwards but decided to reduce the pressure and just stay - it was just what I needed to do at the time.

Yanbu! Book somewhere with spa treatments, manicure pedicure... room service... no housework, no washing up... ohhh I'm jealous! And yes, definitely from the joint account! Enjoy!

Well done, lie in bed watching tv and ordering room service.

But try to mitigate fireworks from dh by explaining why you can't cope anymore, having a stand up row with your other half would take away all the benefit!

100% do it! Joint account all the way. You NEED this. Don't hesitate.

Seconding what Martha said, book a house clean as well.
Enjoy!

Martha & others, sorry
