Hello ladies.
My due date is 11 Jan with no2. I am going to hospital for the birth. The hospital is about 330kms away so it's a 3hours drive. My midwife (who will also drive down to the hospital) said that as this is no.2 we will leave as soon as things kick off.
Now my dh likes a drink. He finishes work and cracks open a beer and will have half a dozen (sometimes more) most nights (much to my despair) and falls asleep on the sofa.
With dd1 we had massive arguments because I asked him to only have 2 beers (330mls each) every night from 36 weeks onwards. He is driving us to the hospital and I was worried about him being drunk and me going into labour. So he still got very drunk a few times after 36 weeks but insisted that 4 beers were fine to have. So we argued 4 vs 2 beers (still the 330mls bottles).
So last night I asked for him to not get drunk from Christmas onwards (I'll be 37.5weeks on Xmas day). I just know he'll say getting drunk for Xmas and new years is fine and will insist that 4 beer bottles each night are fine.
So what do you think? Am I over reacting? I really think he shouldn't have more than 2 beers a night so he can drive me 3 hours to hospital.
You see if it was me I wouldn't even have any beers at all but sometimes I do doubt myself.
Advice appreciated. Shall I just stick to my guns?
