would you be happy with your DP going 90 mins drive away for a boozy boys night out when you were 3 weeks to due date?

DP goes every year with his mates to a boozy weekend sesh about an hour and a half's drive away (they usually travel Sat am, drink Sat evening while watching some football final match, then sleep till noonish on Sun and travel back after eating their own bodyweight in McDonalds or some such crap)

This year the event falls three weeks before my due date. These guys have all been mates for years but rarely see each other all together much now other than at this annual do and I know DP enjoys it and really wants to go.

I'm more than happy with him going but he is nervous as DD was a week early and he's worrying that I'll go into labour when he's away and probably a bit drunk. He doesn't drink heavily but would be unable to drive, but I've said worse case he could get public transport or a taxi home, it's not likely that my labour will last less than 90 minutes.

I'd feel bad if he missed out on this chance to see his mates but understand that he's nervy (it's my second child but his first).

Funnily enough he has also arranged to go and spend a night drinking with his brother the weekend before this who lives 2 hours away, so he's ok with me being 36 weeks while he's away but not 37 weeks Hmm I wonder if actually he's feeling guilty about having 2 sat night sessions in a row when I'm heavily pregnant, not that I'm bothered!

WWYD?

My DH went to New Zealand for the weekend (seriously!) 3 weeks before ds1 was born. It was one of his best friend's wedding, my mum was around. All was fine, though I was a tiny bit tempted to pretend I'd gone into labour just to wind him up....
