Another little scenario for you all...

[Beatrix]

Ahh I'm all for DH going out when I get further along.
As long as he isn't drinking and has his phone on him and not the other side of town. I want him to still have a life.

I was very happy for DH to go out at the end of my pg's, but as someone else mentioned - no drinking (no more than a beer or two) and phone switched on.

He is big enough to make his decisions.. He has to set the balance between social life and home.. My DH doesn't go out much as he is a shiftworker, as are lots of his friends, so their shifts clash. But being heavily pregnant and I might go into labour, and/or have newborn and toddler at home never stopped him.

If you (or friend) don't want him to go, say so. If you don't he will assume there are no issues.

I think it's perfectly acceptable for a friend to invite a mate out even if his wife is heavily pregnant, why wouldn't it be???

If you (or friend) don't want him to go, say so. If you don't he will assume there are no issues.

That's the key really, isn't it? You need to be clear with each other and your friends what your expectations and needs are, be honest and up front and work out how to get what you need, and how he can get what he needs also. There are no issues, no matter what you are or aren't comfortable with, if there is honest communication and understanding happening.
