Important lecture 1 month after due date...what to do?

[Essie3]

Hi all,

I've been asked to give a seriously important, career-making lecture. I agreed immediately, because I couldn't afford not to really! However, it's around a month after my due date. They know this is the case, but can someone (preferably someone who has a baby, because I haven't got one...yet!) tell me whether I'm being mad in thinking I can do this? Am I completely deluded? Or is this possible? The lecture will be early evening, and it's in London. I actually live in Wales but we also have a house in London (with a cot in it now!). My husband will still be off on paternity leave then.

I'm really excited for you now MN has come up with a work-able solution! Daft but true...

My DD is 3 weeks old today and I went into the office for 2hrs on Fri to show her off and deliver a training session, I travelled into London (about an hour and a half each way) and was fine (c-section birth). She slept through the whole thing!! I found it do-able but I also feel lucky as I have healed so well and feel fabulous and she's a sleeper so I'm not too tired.

Good luck, hope it works out and I think th MN idea is fab, don't think you need the pressure of HAVING to do it!
