Am I crazy?

It’s my husband’s birthday a week before our due date. I have booked for us to go for a meal and to a spa.
Is this tempting fate? I’m just so convinced that I won’t be giving birth before 39 weeks but I guess you never know!
For the spa, I’d have to give 7 days notice to cancel so looks like I won’t be getting a refund if I do go into labour the night before!

Potentially crazy 😂 I’ve been contemplating booking a spa 3 weeks before my due date for similar reasons; and I just don’t know how I feel about being so close!

I’m convinced I won’t be early either but don’t want to be caught out at the same time xx

Hahaha I hope it works out for you! Only 5% of babies are born on their “due” date so fingers crossed your little one decides to come after and not before. You could do with a pamper before labour yourself!

If it’s your first I’d say you’re safe, hopefully it can be rescheduled if you go early:)

I’ve literally just booked an overnight stay and spa 2 weeks before due date. My last was 2 weeks over due so figure it happens when it happens.

Hope for the best!! We’ve got gig tickets and events booked right up until I’m due, I’m banking on the likely hood he’ll be late; but if he does come early then nevermind! I’d rather keep doing fun things up until he decides to arrive than spend the next 4 weeks like a hermit😂

What’s your maternal history for gestation? I feel the same as you about when baby will come but mostly because my mum had all her babies 1+ weeks late and so did my sisters.

Keep your legs closed 😂❤️ hehe he hopefully all will be okay. Perhaps give them a ring and explain your circumstances and ask if you do end up going early then would you be able to change the date rather than a refund. Surely they could accommodate that?
I had my first at 37+3 and my second at 38+3 so my kids don't like being inside me 😂😂😂 god knows when this little one will arrive but I'm guessing I won't make it to 40 weeks 🙃 xxx

I contemplated a spa day over the next few weeks but decided against it because there’s so much you can’t use. No steam room, no sauna, no jacuzzi, limited treatment options. I’ve decided to wait and treat us after babies are here

Avatar

My mum had me (first baby) 2 days early but my youngest her sisters were both late!

Avatar

I love this mentality 😂 if I end up going to 41+ weeks I’d kick myself for not having these treats beforehand 🤣

Avatar

If you have to do it that early then I’d personally wait. I’d either do it way sooner or wait. Because it’s definitely possible you could go early. And I would for sure want my money back

Avatar

Exactly! I’ve paid extra for ticket refund where I can, and tried to book things as close to home as possible, I’d be livid if I sat around waiting and missed out on doing fun things the last few weeks as a couple 😂 I think it would be quite iconic to go into labour at a gig✌🏼😂

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
