Yes you read right. Its a totally trivial topic I know.
I am a HUGE George Michael fan.
He is coming to my city the day before my due date. One date only. Its the first time he has been here since 1989.
I would dearly dearly dearly dearly love love to go.
This is my second pregnancy. My first ended up in an caesaerean following a "failed induction" at 42 +1. Closed unripe cervix. Babe sitting posterior and not really properly engaged. Nothing could get me going.
My obstetrician indicated its an even money bet that the same could happen again but frankly my view is at this stage (27 weeks) he can't really tell too much as babe is not settled anywhere near her final position.
I carried really well all the way through. Usual aches and pains and intermittent sleep by the end but nothing super worrying.
I am touch wood doing the same.
Last time I was very stressed about possibly having a caesar. This time I am not so fussed although would probably deep down like a crack at a natural birth for a range of reasons including the practical - I don't have the support available to manage super well during a 6 week recovery period post casear with a 2.5 yo in tow.
Only downsides I can see are that I could go into labour beforehand and miss the concert or will end up quite tired as a result of the late night which might have an impact if I go into labour shortly thereafter.
The concert is at a venue about the same distance as my home from the hospital so if something were to go a miss I am not worried about not being close to medical help.
DS will be in creche the day of the concert and the day after if need be so I can rest up.
On the upside murphys law might dictate that I go naturally if I book an expensive hopefully very close to front row ticket!
What are your thoughts? Would you take the punt and book to go?
