WWYD - driving alone

This weekend, a friend of mine is having an engagement party about 2 hours away (she lives in Hawaii and the wedding will be in HI in March).  So, this will be my only chance to see her in a long time, since I doubt I'll be taking the baby to HI anytime soon! 

I'll be 34 weeks then.  DH just found out he has to work that day.  I could wait until he's done, drive up, spend the last 2 hours of the party there, and drive back, in which case we'll get home about 9pm.  Or I could just go alone, and I'd be back in the day light, which I prefer anyway.  Oh, and it's on Sunday.

WWYD?  Since it's only 2 hours away, I was thinking it won't be bad to go it alone?

    I wouldn't worry and would make the trip myself.  2 hours isn't too bad and chances are you'll have plenty of time to get home should you feel that something might be going on.

    What's your health care provider's advice on traveling? Mine was ok with any travel before 32 weeks, from 32-36 weeks advised being cautious and limiting travel, and from 36 weeks on stick closer to home. I did travel for a wedding weekend at 33 weeks around ~ 3 hours away. If you feel comfortable traveling, then go.

    call your OB for advice

    most will let you travel upto 34 weeks

    we took our babymoon when I was 33 weeks along and we were in Niagara Falls. I think you should go and enjoy it!

    My OB never mentioned any travel restrictions, so I guess if this is a true "WWYD" question - I would drive myself and not worry about it.
    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

    At 33 weeks and only 2 hours away I would drive myself too.

    Since it is a short distance I would go by myself.

    It's not far, you should be fine.  Enjoy spending time with your friend.  If your baby hates the car, like mine did, 2 hours will seem like a nightmare distance.  Now, it will be a breeze.
