OMG what have I done? need reassurance!

[emkana]

Friends of mine in Germany are getting married next week, and I decided in July that I would go to the wedding by myself, without dh or children.
Have been really excited and looking forward to it, but now as the day fast approaches I'm getting very very nervous.
I'm still b/feeding dd2, at bedtime and sometimes in the night and first thing in the morning - she is 2 - I know she'll be all right without it, but will she give dh hell? And what will my boobs be like?
And the other thing that's killing me is - what if something happens to me and I leave my poor children motherless?
Can you tell that I've never been away overnight from them... I'm scared! And a wuss .

Shameless bump - you probably all think I must be crazy...

The liklihood of something happening to you is remote. In the extreme.

DD2 might give your DH hell. Ah well.

Don't know about the boobs.

However, I would feel the same as you. I have never spent a night away from mine either.

But I think you should go...

Yip your crazy.

Dh will cope, your boobs will be fine and do you cross the road without them occasionally?

Totally natural, I hope you have alot of fun, will dd2 take milk from a bottle??

Do you have a breast pump, you could express while away to ease any aching.

Have heeded your request and come here from the other education thread. Aksherly, I deliberately went away for the weekend when DS2 was 26 months and still being breasfed so I could wean him. If I hadn't been planning that a pump would have been very useful - I was v. engorged and didn't enjoy the first night party that much.
If you have a pump, take it! And enjoy yourself.

Woke up this morning still feeling a little bit nervous. Would anybody else like to shout at me to grow up and get over myself? Would appreciate it!

GROW UP AND GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!!! You asked for it! Did exactly the same with Ds1,felt guilty,he cried,I had a great time,he doesnt remember it now!HELP?

Well................................

Lets look at the evidence, you are going away, you will have a great time, and your DH will get a taste of what the full time role entails.

Sounds bloody marvellous to me.

I went away when dd4 was 1 year old and was breastfeeding right up to the day I went!! My boobs were a bit sore but it went really quickly and dd was fine as we had introduced a bottle the week before. I had a great time and so did the kids without me

Agree with everyone else. You will have a great time. I went away with girlfriends to celebrate our joint fortieth birthdays when my youngest DD was six months old. Had a great time. DH went off to his Mums with the children .
Beg borrow or steal a breastpump you dont want to be engorged or worse leak on your lovely outfit!!

Have a great time
