Attending an Event at 33 Weeks?

I'd just like some opinions about going to an event. DH just informed me of a work golf/dinner thing on June 7th. I would only attend the dinner, so I'd just be sitting and eating haha. It's in a city about 30-45 minutes away (my parents and friends live there) and while he's golfing, I'll just hang out with my folks and they'll watch DD. Attending this event is really important to DH as it's the first time we'd really ever be doing a work thing and he's doing so well at his new job and I'd like to meet his new work friends and whatnot of course (he's been with this company since February).

Anyways, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant with twins and already get exhausted very easily. That said, my joint birthday dinner with my dad Saturday went well; I felt fine overall, so I'm hoping just a dinner should be okay. On June 7th I'll be 33 weeks and about a month out from my induction date. So far this pregnancy has gone super smoothly (*knocks on wood*) except for being exhausted constantly. I'm seeing my OB today and will see what she thinks, too, but I wanted to ask you ladies for your opinion. Thanks so much for your input! :)

    I attended a work event for DH just before 34 weeks so I think it's doable. I drank a lot of water and sat when I needed to but it was fine. I ended up going into labor and delivering at 35w 3d and I was still ok at 34. You will be tired so make sure your DH is prepared to leave early but I think you can definitely make it work. I will admit though that I tend to err on the side of try it and see, not caution which may be why my water broke at 35 and 3.

    I don't see any reason not to go.  It's close enough you should be able to get back if you need to, and if you have family there, then they could help if need be.

    The one thing that I would think about- how late is the dinner?  I've definitely found that some days I'm out of energy by the end of the day and just need to lie down (typically on work days or if I've done too much).  So you may need to plan to take the day really easy in order to have enough energy left for the dinner.

    I'd plan on going and then see how you feel. I did the same thing with an event 2 hours away when I was almost 33 weeks. I ended up going since I felt ok. But we stayed way too long and I didn't sit enough or drink enough water. The drive was also pretty rough. So I could barely move the next day.

    As long as you listen to your body and use common sense (unlike me!!), you should be ok.

    Definitely. Enjoy the opportunity to get out of the house and have some adult time before you add two demanding little people and never get out ever, haha (dramatics intended).

    Thanks for all the advice! Told DH to go ahead and tell his boss we'll go. My OB said it's fine to stay within the Lower Mainland, which is like a 45 minute radius area basically where we live. We're in Canada, too, so if I do have to deliver in a different local city it's not the end of the world. So I'm looking forward to this little dinner! :)
