Quick question, could use some advice ASAP...

Hi all,

 My husband and I have plans tonight to have dinner at a friends' house. Too make a long story short, this person is sort of my editor (he manages a blog I write for) so aside from being fun, this is also a good networking opportunity.

However, the guy just called me and said that his wife is sick with a stomach bug, and is throwing up. She's going to be upstairs all night, but they are still having people over. He wants to know if I feel comfortable coming, seeing as I'm pregnant.

I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not. Would you all still go?

(Incidentally, DH is feeling tired and under the weather right now, himself, so if I ask his opinion, which I will in a moment, he'll probably say he doesn't want to go.)

I wouldn't go...better to be safe than sorry. Even if she's upstairs, the flu bug is still in the house

I wouldnt go.  No need to expose yourslef to those germs.  Plus That poor woman is miserable with the flu.  Last thing she needs is company in her house .  i say decline and use it as an opportunity to invite them to you house or out to eat or something once everyone is healthy.

Yikes. I can't imagine my husband continuing on with a dinner party, while I was upstairs yacking my guts up and feeling miserable.

But, as it relates to you... I'd politely decline (better safe than sorry when it comes to illness and pregnancy -- you never know what she may have). Plus, I think it's more thoughtful of this guy's wife, and even of your DH if he's not feeling well. Instead, why not send your regrets, but suggest you all make plans once his wife is feeling better -- either to have dinner at your place, or meet up at a restaurant. And then check back in in a few days or a week and see if you can get those plans made (don't wait for them to call if the networking opportunity is that important to you).

I wouldn't go and as he has told you about it, I'm sure he'll be ok about it if you decline.  Not worth the risk!

Yeah, don't go. Those bugs are super contagious and the last thing you want to do is get sick.

(And I can't imagine my DH still having people over if I was sick like that! Yikes!)

 This.  That just is really odd.

We decided not to go. I wasn't sure if I was being TOO careful, but all of you pretty much said the same thing and that made the choice easy. Thanks!
