Would you go away 36 weeks pg (driveable)?

So H and I were really trying to go away before little A arrives.

We're thinking to go maybe now up in Maine for a night or two. It would actually only be about 1-1.5 hours away (eating/shops/spa- maybe pool/beach if it's nice out).

Would you go?

Re: Would you go away 36 weeks pg (driveable)?

  • I went Black Friday shopping at 39 weeks pregnant in my hometown - which is 2.5 hours away from where I live now. If you're comfortable, and your doc says it's OK, go!

  • Oh yes. An hour and a half is nothing. The chances of you going into labor and NOT making it back to the hospital are minute at 36 weeks.

    I went to my sister's baby shower 3 hrs away at 36 weeks...I only wish something had happened then!

  • With Nate, it was torture for me to ride in the car at that point. I was commuting 5 days a week, though, so I was doing it anyway. 45 minutes to get to work; an hour to get home.

  • I'd definitely make sure anything you plan is easily cancelled, as there is definitely a possiblity your little one decides to make a early appearance. (Talking from experience here - I was just barely 36 weeks when I had Amelia.)  That being said, I probably wouldn't have taken a trip, even one that close, at that stage of my pregnancy.  I was just so uncomfortable that it probably wouldn't have been that enjoyable.  Sorry to be so pessimistic.

  • I don't think that's so far away, so I would probably do this. Worst comes to worst - I'm assuming they have hospitals where you're going?

    Little A - does that mean you have names or are you just using your last name initial ? ( I was totally hoping for names )

     

    anyways

     

    yes please go away - I think you need it. 

  • I'd go.  I was feeling great at 36 weeks, though I was one of the few I think.

    If I were you I'd plan the trip, but make sure everything was refundable.  You may or may not feel up to going last minute.

  • I think a little getaway to Maine would be a good thing.  It's really not that far, where were you guys thinking of going?

     

  • If you're feeling up to it, go and have fun :)
  • Vikki- that's what I was thinking- it really isn't that far. We're thinking Kennebunkport, since it's really relaxing, there is shopping, food, and spa. Worst case we leave and we're at my hospital in Boston in an hour.

  • I say do it! I will also admit that I was feeling great at 36 weeks, so I would have no hesitation on going. You really need it too!

  • I went 2.5 hours away for my baby shower at 35 weeks and was still feeling great until the end, so if you're up to it, I would definitely go! Especially if you can be at your hospital in an hour - that's nothing! Enjoy it and relax!!!

  • I'd wait a bit more before booking it to make sure you feel ok.

    But otherwise...yes. I'd totally do it. A 90 minute drive isn't bad at all.
