DH doesn't want to.

I am due a baby on Christmas day FFS!

I am either going to be fit to birth, giving birth or have a newborn.

He says he will cook dinner He has never made anything more complicated than frozen pizza!

My mum said she will pick us up at about 2pm Christmas day,

but we may have to stay over till boxing day as they will want a drink.

But then If I haven't popped how will I get home if they are both drunk??

Arggh, WWYD??

I mean how will I get home if I go into labour?

I'd take your mum up on her very kind offer. Only a tiny percentage of babies are born on their due date, so for me (and my babies were 10 days late, 9 days late and 7 days late!) I'd rather be diverted nicely by being in someone else's house having a good dinner cooked for me, rather than sitting at home eating DH's best efforts and wondering if that funny pain might have been a contraction.

If you go into labour and neither of them are fit to drive, you either get a cab, or if the baby is really coming very quickly then you call an ambulance (which frankly, is what you'd have to do anyway if the baby was arriving too fast for DH to drive you to hospital).

If you're getting pains on Christmas Eve or have had a 'show' then scratch all the above advice and stay at home!
