difficult situation!!

Hi Ladies. Ok so my OH aunt passed away and the funeral is beimg organised. He doesnt know whether.tovgo or not as I will be 33 weeks at the time and he will be away for a day and a night. I was in hospital already a couple weeks ago when I had to get steroids to develop baby lungs. I have such a fear of something happening and him missing one of the most important moments of our lives. Am I crazy? I know I worry over the smallest things. Please advise me what you all think. Im so confused!!!

Being 33 weeks, they will try and atop the labor and prevent baby from coming if something were to happen. I think while you will be nervous, it will be ok. Plan the time he is gone with things to keep you busy. That will help you keep calm which will help you and baby. Think positive and be positive.  An hour flight is no biggie if something were to happen. It will take me 35 min just to get to the hospital when I am ready. That's over half his flight....it sounds like he is going to have only a carry on, so no problem :) tell him you support him in paying his respects to his aunt. I am sure that will help him as well.

he is very weary to leave but I know it means a lot to him to pay his last respects to his aunt. He will be going to london. An hour by plane. I suggested he go early in the morning and back again that night. Im nervous about him going but I know if he knew I was he wouldnt dream of going. Ugh difficult time/situation

It is scary when you don't know what your body's going to want to do. I think you'll have to take some things into account and then make your best judgment. How far does he have to go? Plane or car? How quickly can he be back and if you need to go to the hospital, is there someone nearby who can help you, in case he needs to meet you there? At 33 weeks, they would try their best to keep baby in anyway, which would buy you time to get him home. But if you're not keen on his leaving, you have the best excuse in the world and everyone will completely understand.

If you've already been to the hospital then fully grounded fear. You're not crazy at all.
