Hey guys. I need to know if I am being crazy hormonal here, so I can get some perspective. I am due June 26 but will likely go a week early to a planned C (my older kids were emergency C's.) My neice is graduating from High School May 26, across the country. She really wants my husband there, and my DH is a great guy who can have a hard time saying no. He wants to fly in because he knows that it would make her happy and probably all would be fine. I don't want him to go, (selfishly?) because IF I were to go early, I would be on my own, and I do have older kids (4 and 8). We do have fam in the area, so they would probably be able to cover the kids in a pinch. Am I being selfish or crazy? I know that probably nothing will happen and it will be fine. But there is a part of me that just can't let go of the "What if?" Thoughts appreciated!
Okay, thanks ladies, I really appreciate the feedback! I have been sort of an emotional, hormonal wreck lately, so I needed a good dose of perspective! Thanks!
I agree with PP that a month ahead shouldn't be a deal breaker for him to travel. Also, if you did happen to go that early, he can hop on the next flight home, worst case.
I think a month is fine. A week, or a few days then i'd be nervous. DH has been asked to go on a business trip 2 days before my EDD and he's telling his employer he'll have to postpone because it's a little close to the quick.
