DH went to Hawaii with mates for a friends wedding when I was 33 weeks preg with DS2, He was away for 10 days, DS1 was not walking and was 16 months old but I let him go as it was important to him. I also have no family near by to help.
I had no issue with him going at all I was just upset I couldnt go as well as I was not comfortable with idea of flying and my OB said no as well!
Unless there is some medical reason, I would be saying it would ok as well. Hard as it is, but I would also be trying to set something up so that if worse case scenario comes up you have some help hun. A bit different for me but DH went OS for 2 weeks when DS was only 3 mths old, and DD was 20 mths old. He went to see our nephew in Canada and it was really tricky juggling both kids (with help admittedly) but it was really important for us to send him over. I think it is a great honour for him and a great chance too. Good luck hun! xoxo
I second the point to tell your DH your reservations, but let him decide. Yes you may not like his decision, but its his to make.
Yes it will be a long 5 days, but its only 5 days. Yes see if you can get a friend to stay with you for a couple of days, and plan the days with things to do with your DS.
You'll only be 35wks, chances of labour are slim, just make sure you dont over do it.
Apart from my jealousy of not been able to go with him I wouldnt see a problem with it. Its five days so you know you can do it, and yes it is really ****ty timing but what are the chances of this happening again??
Besides think of the duty free he can bring back for once bubs is here, and the power of having the "I cant believe you left me here all by myself to go on a trip to Singapore when I was 35wks pregnant" card over him is HUGE
Im thinking foot rubs on demand for a month is the bare minimum!
