I am being unreasonable??

My husband is planning a trip with his friends to Jamaica. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and he's planning on going when I'll be roughly 35-36 weeks.  All I asked him is to make it 5 days trip rather than a full week. Once he returns he has another getaway with his work for the weekend but at least this second trip is a few hours away.

I'm upset because a couple of his friends including my husband told be I was being unreasonable.  I got mad and told that they wouldn't understand unless they were pregnant. I waddle around, i'm tired, I can lift heavy stuff and don't feel the greatest... you know how it is. I want my support person close by... at driving distance! What if something happened?! Please let me know your opinions.

I think he is being very selfish. My husband wouldn't even want to go to any other states when I am only 32 weeks. Leaving to another country when you are 35 weeks?? Doesn't sound right. Instead ask him to save the time and money for when the baby will arrive and you all can go on a vacation when the baby will be couple months old.

He needs to stay home! He is spending money on himself that should be going to the baby! Plus you don't exactly need constant supervision but he needs to be able to be there at a moments notice if you need him! Anything could happen and you'll never forgive him if he's not there

Honestly I'm not married but if I was and he was planning a getaway without me, I would be planning his funeral lol jk... I don't think it's right but I guess it depends on the type of relationship u guys have. As for the timing I agree with all of u, it's plain wrong... u should be priority right now since ur so close to ur due date.

He needs to get it together!!! ,that is absolutely crazy!!!! Anything can happen god forbid but you can go in labor anytime ask him how he would feel of he missed the birth!! Could he live with himself after that if his answer is yes then maybe you should reconsider your relationship! Good luck to you hope he makes the right decision.

You gave right yet don't over think this situation, do make backup plan who would take you to hospital should baby decide to arrive while he is away. Family, friend, or worse case scenario 911. You both r having this baby, he might need time to be away. My hubby will be leaving for a month after my baby's arrival so I will be in my own when she is only month old.
