[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to start off by saying that DH is amazing and has been incredibly supportive of me throughout this entire pregnancy (and before).

His friends have this week long fishing trip about 18 hours away from home planned that he has always wanted to go to and that he never had the opportunity to do so until two months from now- when I’ll be about 32 weeks pregnant with our first child. He asked me if I’m ok with it as I’ll be alone in our place but I do have family that will be within very short distance from me. He told me that he’s ok with skipping it if I didn’t want him to go but that this trip probably won’t happen again with the same group of people.

I’m conflicted in what to do in this situation. [b]I honestly don’t like to be alone and I’ll feel lonely and bored in the week that he’ll be away[/b] and of course I’m worried that it is possible to give birth anytime even though it’s not a high risk pregnancy so far. At the same time I really want DH to go and enjoy this experience and I’ll feel so bad and guilty if I say no (which he’ll listen to me if I do).

What would you do in this situation? [/quote]

Let him go!! 
Are the friends driving or flying to this destination? You have family "super close" but won't really elaborate. What about friends? I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the part in bold. That seems like the root of your issue. You don't want to be alone and you think you'll be bored. Girl. Get a grip. Watch TV, order takeout, make plans with friends? You can't survive a week solo?

If the guys are driving to this destination, how about a compromise? DH goes for at least half the time and can fly back earlier if necessary. [/quote]
