Pregnant with my first, due 3rd week of April. My husband has an optional work trip in February for a few days, and asked if I was comfortable with him going. My first reaction was of course, it's still a couple months out from my due date and I'm having a healthy pregnancy so far. Am I under thinking this? Any other considerations I should have?

Made me nervous when something came up for us too, but that’s still super early. If anything comes up, he can always reevaluate closer.

My husband traveled (with my blessing) until like 38.5 weeks 😂 although I traveled until 36 weeks so I suppose that’s just how we are.

The only thing I can think of (assuming you’re not having a hard time moving around and getting yourself fed) is to have someone on standby to show up at your house in a pinch if you think you might be going into early labor. (Like others said, this feels early to be concerned about but I always liked to prep!)

Exactly- expect the best (since it’s reasonable for your situation and healthy pregnancy so far!), & make a plan in case plan B or C is needed. Then go live your life!

My sons came at 34 weeks so there’s always a risk they’ll be early. Surprise labor at 7am. But we have identical twins so a bit different.

Oof yeah if it was twins I'd probably feel different since they usually come earlier anyways from my understanding.

until and unless you have a village to support you while he is gone - suggestion would be to re-evaluate. You never know what comes up during the last trimester. For me - even getting out of bed and being awake was difficult... and then frequent doctor visits, I cudnot drive because of nausea.

I do have close friends and family within 30-45 minutes that should be able to help in a pinch. Since it's only a few days, hopefully no doctor visits. If I end up knowing I'll need assistance, I figure we can reassess close to time or find myself a babysitter 😅

It’s just a few days… and so far, you’ve felt fine.

Do you have friends or family close by who could help you in a pinch? I’m 29 weeks and my husband is going away for a few days to visit his family (I didn’t want to make that long drive in the third trimester). I am not worried at all, plus my parents are about 45 minutes from me and my sister is about an hour and a half - I have people who can help me if I truly need something. Mostly, I’m looking forward to a low key weekend by myself 🤷‍♀️

I do have friends and family within 30-45 minutes that should be able to help in a pinch.

Not a big deal if your pregnancy continues to be healthy and you have no reason to believe you’ll deliver early. My husband took last trips (for work) at 37 weeks for both of my pregnancies (delivered at 38 and 39 weeks, respectively).

Now that would make me nervous, I definitely would have held him back from going at 37 weeks 😅 I'm too chicken to potentially do this without him lol

Too early
