[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I think the bigger issue here is making sure you and your husband are on the same side and not letting this become an argument between you.

To get too hung up on decisions right now is silly - your baby isn't born, you don't know if the baby will have any health issues, you don't know how you will handle the surgery and recovery, you don't know what your baby will be like at 4, 6, 8 weeks, etc, you don't know whether anyone in the family will come down w/ something the week before the holiday, and so on...

Focus on being a united team that will make this decision together when the time comes.  Men don't really grasp what pregnancy/delivery/postpartum stuff is all about until they see it firsthand.  You might find that the simple reality of the situation changes your husband's perspective.

You might also find it all easier than you expect - you should leave the door open to that possibility also.

I had twins, born at 37 weeks via scheduled c-section, each right around 6 lbs.  My family and many friends are in upstate NY also.

I had the twins at a family party w/ about 25 kids when they were one month old.  I took them to NY when they were 3 months old.  They did fine.

I really think it will be an issue of what your baby's personality is and how you're feeling - and neither of those governing factors are knowable right now.

Good luck![/quote]
