Would you be ok with DH going out drinking at 37+ weeks

[*charmalea*]

omg about the eclampsia story .. you never know whaty could happen , my dh would be let out , but i think he would be careful ...

BUT when Gabriella was 48 hours old , he had a work do (he organised it ) and i had to drive him there and then told him to be home at 1 .. i rung him about 2 and asked him where he was and he had missed the last train and was walking home , from brisbane to ipswich ... he got an earful when he got home and was summoned to the couch and was made to do all the house work the next day !!

also my sisters DH was drunk on the night she gave birth ,as soon as her waters broke , that was it he was as sober as sober could be ...

Lea - i think being in labour and having a baby would sober anyone up!
AND OMG walking from brisbane to ipswich!!

Well i can safetly say i dont have any feelings that i am going to be having this baby in the next 24 hrs so ....

Best of luck PP. My DH had his last "night out" before DS2 was born when I was 36 weeks. DS2 was born 3 days later.

My DH is a groomsman in a wedding 4 days before I'm due - and it's 2 hours from home! I'm invited too and will probably be there, but I've told him he's not allowed to drink so much that he's smashed in case I go into labour. And if I do go to the wedding, I'll be taking someone else with me who can drive us home in case I go into labour and DH has had a few too many to drive.

thanks jas
sounds like a good plan gypsy! i hope you make it!

Well PP I think it sounds like it would be fine I would just maybe think about a few things-

1. Could DH stay close to home/the hospital just in case

2. Could he come home to sleep so there's no chance of him sleeping through a phone call

3.Could he space his drinks so that he is always able to drive in case you need him to come get you to go to the hosp.

Hope your DH has a fun night and it all works out, I'm sure it will!
