Am I been unreasonable?

I’m due in July, my partner suggested a holiday in June I said no, I’m not comfortable been away 8 months pregnant. He said he still might go with friends! Am I been unreasonable to say to him I think it’s a bit off? Surely I’ll need his help around that time as I’ll be so big wanting to make sure everything is sorted. Am I just hormonal?!

I'm currently seven months pregnant- and very much feeling so- no way in hell would my husband even suggest going abroad.

And no way would I be okay with him doing that either!

So no, you are not being unreasonable.

Leaving your 8 months pregnant partner to go off on a jolly is not ok.

Oh that’s ok then I may release all hell on him now as I’ve been stressing about this all night 😂😂

Yanbu.
I'm currently 7.5m pregnant and would not want my partner going abroad at 8months! Not for the fact of struggling cus I'm fine at the moment but mainly because I am so concerned baby is full term at 37 weeks so could come any time and he'd be far away?!
He already wanted to go to Birmingham (2.5 away) for the day 2 weeks before I'm due which was vehemently shot down Wink

Thanks everyone- he’s said he’s not going 😂🙈 he said he hadn’t really thought it through properly and was half joking (I don’t quite believe him!) but he’s said he’s absolutely not going. Glad to know I’m more reasonable than I thought!

YANBU. I went into labour at 34 weeks so birth happens when baby is ready to come. What if you went into early labour and he missed the birth?

I don't think I'd forgive my partner for that (in these circumstances I mean)

Sorry, cross post!

He should be there making sure you're feeling comfortable! I'm only 16 weeks and was annoyed at my husband for wanting to go on holiday without me because I've had a very hard first trimester! I'm sorry to say but men don't fully understand how hard it is for us pregnant women sometimes. I made my feelings clear to him about going and he backed off. Definitely tell him how you're feeling! x

I don’t think it’s really real for the men until later on I agree! Don’t worry I told him and I said, “I’m a very laid back person but I’m not happy about this!” And it was very quickly taken back! I even suggested I tell his mum to see what she would think as I knew she’d agree with me!!! He bought me lunch to apologize lol

Go you girl! Food as apology is never a bad thing! xx
