Should DP go to a wedding when I'm 39 wks pregnant?

I can't make up my mind about it.

It's in August the week before I'm due. We are both invited but I don't reckon I'll fancy a 3-4 hour car journey, chasing DS round a wedding full of strangers (I've only met the guy once) a night in a hotel and then 3-4 hours back in the car again. I probably sounds like a miserable trout but I know how fed up, huge, hot and uncomfortable I was last time and it'll do my head in.

That's not to say I want to stop DP from going if he wants to.

My only worry is that I could obviously have the baby at any time, and am booked for a homebirth, as DS only took 4 hours and they say your second can be faster! So if I did go into labour whilst he was down there, the odds of him making it back in time are small. I know, the odds of going into labour on that exact day are smallish, but they're not tiny.

So what do you think? I don't want to stop him but I would be devastated if he missed the birth, and it throws up all kinds of logistical questions re someone looking after DS1 and there being no one to be with me in labour.

Help!

I'd let my husband go. And cross my fingers. but from everyone else's post, seems like I'm the soft touch! I would just make sure he knew that he could miss things if he did go, and let him decide.

Oh no, I'm sorry but YANBU at all. He's an arse if he goes

Well, the good news is that he came home having reached the right decision.

Bless him. He always comes good eventually, it's just a long and winding road sometimes.

That's good, at least we don't all have to go there and kick his ass!
