40 weeks pregnant and partner out at the pub

Hi Ladies,
I'm weeks pregnant today, my partner was drinking here with his friend and then come to ask if it was OK for them to go the pub until closing, I said yes of course, because I don't want to be that girlfriend to stop him, but am I being unreasonable to think it's a bit selfish that he just didn't think to just not go out and be drunk on my due date 😅
I think I'm just panicking because it's my first child and have no idea what to expect when labour eventually starts, there's people I can call and the pubs isn't too far that he couldn't make it home or too the hospital, but think my emotions have got me confused about how I'm feeling about this 🤣 Probably just the worry that I'm home alone and could go into labour today, although probably unlikely now as I feel no signs of my baby boy joining us today

Ahhhh OP I think you are being (tho understandably) a little bit U.

He asked if it was okay, you didn't think it was okay but you said it was okay so he went, thinking it was okay although it wasn't really okay

Yabu. Just all him if anything happens but honestly there is no point you or him just staying at home waiting.

I probably wouldn't want my OH going to the pub on my due date.... only because it doesn't take many pints for him to get drunk! Lol. He is a light weight.

But I know he would never ask because he would know the answer would be "are you frickin' kidding me? I will squash you before you go off to the pub!" Lol.

If it was a couple of weeks before my due date, then I think that's fair enough. But anytime after my due date has been and gone... no way. I'd want him with me as much as possible in case I went into labour. The percentage of women that go into labour on their due date is very low, but still... not the point! Lol x

@puffsmummie I'm not trolling you, I'm trying to excuse you calling out the OP and being unkind to her making out like she's being uptight and calling her reasoning weak. For what it's worth I'd never give anyone any harsh truths that weren't warranted, might be hormones but can't seem to rise above the unkindness of key board warriors trying to make others feel bad though. The Majority of women on here understand and agree with OP, even those that don't haven't called her feelings weak or anyone else controlling or clingy 😂. I really hope this isn't your first pregnancy and that you really think the books and the classes make you superior, prepared and in control of it all, you might find it a breeze of course but like I say I've had 3 very different labour's and I'd not consider myself an expert in any way, non have gone to plan, if this one is like my first my dh would have plenty of time to get home and sober up before anything happened, if like my 2nd and 3rd I'm not sure he'd have time to get me to hospital as it is. You just don't know what will happen. You can disagree with people without being horrible and if you can't then don't expect not to get a bit back.
