Has anybodies DP's given up alcohol around due date?

[CheekyChoppers]

My DH and I discussed and agreed weeks ago that he would knock any alcohol use on the head from 36 weeks - tbh he doesn't drink much anyway, 2 pints or so every now and then but enough to be over the limit if he needed to drive me to the hospital.

Anyway, tonight he has gone out for a works do and will be getting drunk, I am over 36 weeks and really cross with him :-( Apparently he 'knows for a fact' that I won't go into labour tonight. Well fair enough, I prob won't go into labour, but how the hell does he 'know for a fact' the arse.

So, he now says that It is unreasonable and unrealistic to think that he won't drink... What do you guys think? Has anyone elses partners agreed not to drink?

Just asked my partner as we're both sitting here, he says he won't be drinking around the due date as he'll need to stay sober in case he has to drive me to the hospital. I can trust him to stick to his word, and would also be fuming if he went back on it. It wouldn't just be the getting intoxicated and leaving me in the lurch if I really needed him, it would also be the fact that he went back on a promise. If he didn't think it was reasonable or realistic at the time he should never have agreed to it, you have every right to be angry.

My DH gave up but as I was due on in December it was agreed that on the night of his xmas do, we had a friend/family member on standby ready for a call, so DH could enjoy his party but I felt I had a back up just in case.

My DH didn't, it never even occurred to either of us that he should.

He doesn't drink much anyway, so I guess it wasn't much of an issue.

Do you really want him not to go out tonight just on the off chance you might suddenly go into labour?

No, it doesn't bother me that he's gone out tonight at all (although he can go out and not drink! I've been doing it for 9 months!)

It bothers me that he obviously can't not drink for four little weeks!!! And that he voluntarily agreed to stop, when he clearly didn't intend to.

If it was a problem for him, I think he should've said at the start so i could arrange for someone else to drive me (it's not just me, we've got a 16 month old to drive to a relatives aswell when I do go into labour).
