If it's important for your husband you should just pay for them to come drive here or fly. You can get good deals on round trip tickets.that way you don't put the stress on you or your baby. It is really hard ad's uncomfortable to be in the car after you have your baby and your baby will not be comfortable either. You should talk him into waiting or just pay for their trip insTead it's the money your would have spent either way
i travelled to vancouver when my daughter was 7-8 days old by vehicle, i didnt mind the drive. bt the smoking you would think they would clean their house out of smoke and smoke outside for your visit.
I would say we fly u and u guys alone out here no smoking in our house. They're family and should be able to see baby of course but a baby that young and u should not be having to travel like that so extremely soon in addition to staying in an unhealthy environment. Baby comes first.
Trust me u don't want to make that trip, I had an hour drive home from my hospital thin two weeks had to take a 4 hour drive it was not fun at all especially when having to stop and breast feed.
I agree with kori, we had a 30min ride and I was uncomfortable and stressed.
Then it's obviously too bad for them. It's just the two of them or nothing. You have to put your foot down. I didn't even love the 5 minute drive home from the hospital after my little one was born. That's ridiculous.
No way in Hell. I'm sorry. No. The smoke, the car ride, just no. If they want to come you can book them two tickets. Anyone else can see via Skype, fb, etc.
I'm scared that if we buy his parents tickets they are gonna be like 'what about so and so' and then we are gonna end up buying 8 peoples plane tickets.
If you guys have the money to do that then offer to fly them out to you. You pay for the tickets and set the fly dates yourself that way they can't choose the most expensive flight or try to stay longer.
If it was right after I wouldnt do it but thats just me and I dont mind car rides. I would wait about a month or so after but once again just me. I would also see about having your husband talk to them about maybe smoking outside when baby is there. Thats what I had mine do.
Use the money for your tickets to fly THEM to YOU?? Just an idea to throw out there, not sure if anything could prevent that possibility.
You Need To Have Paper Wor From Your Doctor Allowing A Newborn To Fly. I Wouldn't Recommend A Cross Country Drive And Then A Long Flight Like That, But I Woul Talk To Your Doctor About It.
