DH needs to go away....

After him making comments for the last week about "it could happen ANY TIME, you know!!!", DH has to go away for business this weekend. He'll be 7 hours away from Friday night through to Monday night.

I KNOW in my head that Squishy is unlikely to make an appearance this weekend, but there's very little chance if anything DID happen that he would be able to make it back in time. So I'm a little nervous! I've been having some really strong cramps, although I think most of those are my IBS playing up, but also a little brown spotting (no show or anything, bubs is just bouncing on my cervix).

I have the option of going as well, but I'm not sure I could handle the drive (let alone the MIL at the other end). Also, if baby DOES come this weekend, while we're in Palmy, how would we get her back to AKL? The work van can't have a carseat in it or anything...

I'm probably overthinking everything, but I'm not sure what to do. I don't have anyone else in AKL to be with me if DH isn't here, and I'm really afraid of being on my own.

I guess I'm wondering what anyone else would do?

Does he HAVE to go? Maybe he could delay it by a couple of months?

If he has to go, could it be on condition that he returns immediately if you request it? It is only an hour flight from Palmy to Auckland but I guess the flights aren't all that frequent.

Can you get someone else to come up and stay with you for the weekend? That way you have someone there, just in case?

Or, you could just flat out say he can't go. Pregnant ladies are allowed to do that, you know

Thanks guys. There really is no way he can delay going, part of the running your own business problem I guess. I think I'll wait it out here, and try and get him to go a day later instead, so he's away for less time. I know I most likely won't go into labour, but you know, the "what if's" come a-knocking and just about do your head in!

I'll be crossing my legs real tight
