TEll me I am justified to cancel going to my brothers 30th tomorrow

[Piffle]

I'm in Lincs
Would be travelling down via train to London tomorrow afternoon for ym brothers 30th party (cocktail)
Facts
16 weeks pregnant
Have had the last 3 nights broken slepe as dd has a cough and cold
DS is now ill as well and been off school 2 days.
Dp who works away coming home tonight is also quite ill, he has a temp.
I have sinusitis and have lost hearing on one side and can take shag all as am pregnant.
I don't want to go.
i feel bad as my mum is putting a lot of pressure on me.

tellt hem you're ill and can't possibly go

will he understand - has he kids of his own? are you very close to him?

if it was my bro,i'd go - it's a special birthday - when pregnant, always ill when something special - it's sods law -

if you don;t go,what will the repercussions be

You're 16 weeks pregnant, you should do exactly what you feel your body can take. If you're ill as well (quite apart from the family being ill too) then there's no question. Of course you're justified.

are you ging alone?

i would go if you are as you might have fun away, or even with just one of them

going alone
it also means sleeping on a couch.
No repercussions tbh, bro will understand mum might get a bit arsey but then when doesn't she?
I doubt I'll enjoy it tbh, I am having to blow my nose every 30 seconds, I look like poo.

go and have fun, see your brother, then leave early.

cannot leave early I'm staying with him - I'm sleeping on his living room couch, which is the same room as the party is in..

don't go - but then arrange a seperate celebration with your brother, perhaps a meal out or something - when you feel up to it!!

I wouldn't go

ugh.. sorry. maybe you could arrange to go out with him another day for dinner or something.

lol!

I wouldn't go. I had a situation like this when I was preg, I felt bad about not going , but would have felt much worse in a diff way if i'd gone.
Its bad timing but the way it is.
Don't feel too bad . xxxx

Don't go piffle, it doesn't sound like you'd be having much of a good time. I'd stay at home, wrap up warm and insist that dp wait on you hand, foot and finger. And ignore your mum (honestly, I'd have thought your welfare would be more important!). if you're brother will understand I think that's good enough. Maybe arrange to do something just the two of you in a couple of weeks when you're feeling better?

I wouldn't go. You need to take care of yourself and that is going to be difficult enough with everyone around you being ill without adding a trip to London and sleeping on the floor after a party into the equation.

Stay home. Get your brother to come to you sometime and take him out to dinner or something. A cocktail party when you're pregnant - where's the fun in that? (She says 12 weeks ahead of you and dreaming of a margarita...)

Aaaargh! your !

You are ill. Your DS is ill. Your DP is ill. You don't have to go. It's only a birthday party.

Yes I think I might ask him to take a raincheck and I'll take him out some other time.
Thanks, dp would not say either way but I know he is feeling rough, but hiding it as he does not want me to cancel on his say so...

if your brother understands..don't go! think someone else suggested doing something with him another time...so do that...hope you are feeling better soon,....

hehe You could always hire a stunt double..

Don't go.

They'd be scraping to find someone who looked as rough as me at the minute...

awww hope you and your family feel better soon...

I wouldn't go and I think your mum should back off.
Sleeping on the couch , not well, family not well, not much sleep, have to travel on the train - no, I definitely wouldn't go. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Thanks, it's Murphys bloody law with children/illness sometimes.
