Heck, my mom had to miss her sister's wedding when she was pregnant with me. And it was within driving distance (though an 8-hour drive). They all got over it. Bar mitzvahs just aren't that important in the scheme of things -- and I say this as a Jew. They are important, but not as important as your health and the baby's. If you are at all uncomfortable, you should not go. Your husband can go if you are ok with that -- personally, I would be ok with it. Of course I'd be sad if my husband weren't there for the birth, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. My grandfather missed all of his kids' births b/c he was serving in the army in Germany. My dad missed mine because he was on call in the same hospital my mom delivered in. Etc. Honestly, I am kind of impressed you were going to a bar mitzvah overseas in the first place! I would have thought the expense alone would make it reasonable for you to decline, even for family -- and the advanced pregnancy makes it all the more so. If your husband is very close with his brother or sister and/or the bar mitzvah boy, or sees his family very rarely, he should perhaps consider it. Otherwise, don't bother.[/quote]
