I am almost 6 months pregnant (due Nov. 10)

DH and I have been invited to Thorpe Park next week. I have said there is no point in me going as I wont be able to do much apart from eat and sit on the fake beach. But DH still wants to go. I really want to be ok with him going but at the same time I am VERY VERY jealous. I love theme parks and thrill rides. I live for them. I cant wait to be able to go on them again and one day we can take Daniel too. I know pregnancy doesnt last forever and I would rather have our baby than a one day fun experience. But it still hurts to see other people having fun when you are not

Should I ask him nicely not to go or should I just bite my tounge and say fuck it? Its either I upset DH or I upset myself? Aibu?

Let him go.

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 24/07/2017 16:39

YABU, do you expect him to give up all the pregnancy related things you cannot do now, like certain foods and drinks etc...

AmysTiara · 24/07/2017 16:40

Can't you have fun doing something else that day?

00100001 · 24/07/2017 16:41

Let him go! have a more suitable day to your self or with other friends or family.
Why upset DH over a trip to a theme park? Thorpe park will always be there, and you can go another time.

Eminybob · 24/07/2017 16:41

I would let him go tbh. Him not going isn't going to change the fact that you can't.
Can you get a cheaper ticket because you're pregnant? Then you can still go along and enjoy the atmosphere and play some carnival games, etc.

I feel your pain though, I love rides too so would be jealous. But I would let my DH go.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 16:42

I didnt know you couldnt eat certain foods and neither of us drink. But in terms of your statement in general, not really, I just really love Thorpe Park. Other, more menial things I let slip

It's just one day. Just do something else instead Confused

Holidayhooray · 24/07/2017 16:42

You're about to raise a child and this Is the type of shit you're considering pulling? Stopping your dh go to a theme park because you don't want to go if you can't go on the fast rides!

Namechangetempissue · 24/07/2017 16:43

YABU. You don't have long until you have your baby, you have years and years to go on rides. Maybe DH can look after the baby for a day while you go with a friend in 6 months. I wouldn't moan at him.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 16:44

EminyBob

It would be kinda crappy to go and see all the other people on the rides. Pretty sure that would just make me feel worse tbh

I know it sounds silly, but its just been a fabourite thing of mine since I was a child

SpartacusSaiman · 24/07/2017 16:45

You didnt know its recommended to avoid certain foods when pg?

Anyway, ley him go.

Glumglowworm · 24/07/2017 16:45

YABU, let him go

LloydColeandhisCoconuts · 24/07/2017 16:46

Definitely find something else to do. A massage? And let him go.

You really didn't know that you could eat certain foods whilst pregnant? I would do some research. Maybe while he's at Thorpe Park? Grin

Holidayhooray · 24/07/2017 16:46

**i didn't know you couldn't eat certain foods"

Ah, all becomes clear now

upperlimit · 24/07/2017 16:46

Yes, but it's not going anywhere is it? He's not using your once-in-a-lifetime pass to gain entry, I presume?

AshesEmbersFlames · 24/07/2017 16:46

YABU. It's a day at a theme park, not a once in a lifetime experience.

Your DH should go if he wants to.

Do something else that you enjoy that day instead.

Sirzy · 24/07/2017 16:47

You stay at home and have a nice pamper day or something while he goes and does his thing.

DeleteOrDecay · 24/07/2017 16:47

YABU to stop him from going but I think you already knew that. I would plan something else for myself on that day so I'm not sat at home stewing and feeling jealous.

Some of the replies here are a bit rude.

Holidayhooray · 24/07/2017 16:48

Mummy
It's not the fact the you enjoy theme parks that is the issue

Carley27 · 24/07/2017 16:48

YABU - I would be gutted at missing out too (love Thorpe Park!) but it's unfair to stop DH going just because you can't go this time. Let DH go and do something else you enjoy while he's away.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 16:49

Thank you

Think I am just going to have a Minecraft day instead, maybe slip in some Sims or Life Is Strange.
Might make some BLT as well x Thanks x
