DH going out on Halloween?!?

So my Dh really wants to go out on Halloween with his friends. Anyway, I have been to the hospital sooo many times for painful contractions I dont know if he should leave me. Im being induced on Monday if the baby doesnt come by then. The bars are about 5mn away but Im just worried he wont answer his cell, he may drink too much, etc. Even if I could drive myself to the hospital I would have to wake up DS and carry him too. My parents live next door so eveytime I HAVE gone to LAD DS is with them. However my parents have two costume parties that night in the city and will be gone. Not to mention Im kinda bummed that I will be sitting home all alone 
I told DH that I want him to be able to go out and have fun, but I also expressed my concerns and told him that Id like a companion Sat night. He still is unsure what he is doing but I know he really wants to go. What should I say? Any advice or opinions if you were in my situation? Thanks 
Oh and wanted to add: What about being around all those ppl?!?! What if he gets sick b2 days before baby? Then he cant come into the hospital.........I cant believe hes even considering it. How frustrating!!

Re: DH going out on Halloween?!?
If it were me, DH wouldn't be going. ?I realize he needs to have fun with his friends, but you've got a lot going on and don't have anyone to fall back on if you would happen to go into labor.?
?
FI and I made an agreement that he would not drink after I was full term. Since I could go into labor at any time, we don't want to risk him being too intoxicated to drive me to the hospital. So we will be hanging out with my mom on Halloween. Lame, I know, but it's just not worth the risk to me.
In your situation, since you're contracting, I would tell him you really don't feel comfortable with him leaving you to go out and drink.
Nope. No way. No how. Not a chance.

The worst part ( or in some cases best part) is that we live in a very secluded house in the woods. We dont get trick or treaters. So I will literally be home alone. Well except DS will be sleeping in his crib of course.
I cant go with because I have to stay in with DS, Im in severe pain from contracting and they go out at like 9 or 10. Im exhausted by then. Plus trying to save my energy for delivery and to top it off I dont want to get sick from being out at a bar 2 days before induction......
Hell be able to go out whenever, thats not the problem. We live next door to my parents AND we live next door to my sister and BIL. We are surrounded by sitters not to mention we have a wedding 2 weeks later....LOL
No way. Period. I can't believe he would even assume it was ok that close to delivery. You could go into labor ANYTIME.
Besides, you have to suck it up and sit home, he needs to get over it and do the same. Trust me... there will be A LOT of dissapointments to come in the social life dept. It's called parenthood...
Oops.... you already are parents... he should def know better. With a toddler at home too!
This. Seriously.
ditto.
THIS!
