Leaving 3 month baby for Hen do

[Layray]

First time mum-to-be here and starting to plan my hen do. Getting married at Christmas so thinking October time for hen do. Baby will be about 3 months old by then and I don’t know if it is unreasonable to think I could leave my baby with partner for 2 nights?

Sisters are planning hen and they’re keen for a Friday/sat night hen in a lodge. We live about 5 minutes away from the lodge.

Has anyone else had their hen do with a new baby. What did you do? Would one night be better? Just don’t want to miss out on a proper hen experience!

So AIBU to leave baby for 2 nights for my hen do?

Exactly @Ilikepinacoladass it's a tough enough time as it is!

@LuckySantangelo35 i was a massive party girl before DC. I actually cried when I found out I was pregnant because it meant I couldn’t get drunk at the wedding I was going to that weekend! I was so sure I would want loads of time away from DC when they arrived. But I just….don’t!

At 4 months I spent 4 hours away from DC. I loved the first hour, had a nice time in the second hour, by the third hour I kept checking the time and was getting irate and I spent the fourth hour in tears as I missed my baby so much. She’s now 10 months and I’ve never spent a night away from her because I just can’t bear the thought of being away from her for that long. The thought of spending a weekend away from her makes me teary!

DH and I do get frequent date nights though - we put DC to bed and then go out for a nice dinner/to the cinema etc whilst the grandparents stay with baby. But I’m always happy to come home afterwards knowing I’ll be waking up with my baby 😊
