Just Don't Get People Like This!!

[Younglutonmum]

I just don't get some people

A friend of mine recently announced she is pregnant with her boyfriend of just over a month. I kind of find that abit silly especially as she lives in Luton & him in Bristol but I know it happens & this isn't my issue

The silly girl has booked a holiday for 2 weeks after her due date to Ayia Napa. It's not like she booked this before she got her she booked it after!!

I mean what sort of crazy person does that. I said to her just because she's been given this due date, doesn't mean her baby will arrive then!! I said to her what will happen if the baby arrives late, she said she'll still go!! I then said to her after labour especially of you've had alot of stitches you'll be in alot of pain. But does she listen? Maybe i'm wrong but I really think it's craziness to book a holiday 2 weeks after your LO is due

I said to her if she's so desperate to go away next year why not book a holiday for a few months later but oh no she wants to go with the girls

Sorry I just think she's mad

Unfortunately, as silly as that sounds to you and me, everyones different.

 

[Younglutonmum]

It's not that I have an issue with her leaving her LO. I went out 3 weeks after having Maya

It's just the stupidness of hpw close to her due date the holiday is booked for. Like I said, babies don't always arrive on time

 

[Serene123]

Ah well, some people are stupid. Let her hope. She won't be allowed to fly after 32 weeks anyway.

She might learn the hard way that life is a bit more unpredictable than she thinks...
What if she ends up with a c-section and has to rest for the a couple of weeks?

 

[princess_bump]

my goodness this seems a bit silly to me too. i agree, its not the leaving of the LO (i couldn't of left maddi for that length of time then, or now even ) but like you said kelly, babies don't always arrive on time, maddi was 9 days late and c-section in the end, i wouldn't want to fly after section some people make my mind boggle!

i wouldnt be fit for anything like that after baby was born! is this her first? who will look after the child?

 

[Younglutonmum]

Yeah it's her first baby

She said she'll yake the baby down to Bristol for it's dad to look after

 

[Pyrrhic]

I'd leave her to it, and then when she decides she can't go offer to buy it off her for 50% o the price.

OMG love it lol!!!

I dont agree with it but its her choice to do that. think the baby needs its mum that soon after birth and I would assume she would want to be with baby that soon after also. How weird. stil its up to her and I can see her cancelling it! This is my first to and I seriously doubt I will be fit for the shops two weeks after birth.

Ive tried telling her how childbirth really takes it out of you but she seems to think it will be a breeze & that im a drama queen

Well wait until she has 92 stitches like me in her lady bits & then call me a drama queen

 

[ChloesMummy]

Think she may regret booking this hol (wish i was goin away!!!!)

Great plan though Rafwife

 

[Pyrrhic]

I think the last thing I'd want to do after childbirth is try and put a bikini on and sit on a sandy beach.

 

[Younglutonmum]

I could buy her ticket & me & Maya could take a lil break

Would be so lovely lol

so so true!!

God I couldn't imgine flaunting my body 2 weeks after I had Maya

Wouldn't even do it now

 

[Tilly]

Yea, imagine getting sand in your bits when you're sore!! ouch, sorry but I couldn't help but think of that.

The thought of going on holiday a few days/weeks after having the baby! makes me cringe and I coped ok in labour and only needed 1 stitch.. yet I was in agony afterwards down there!
Some people can't be told, so you're best to let her get on with it.

Have to agree that she's a bit silly for booking a holiday so soon. But, hey, see what happens.

 

[Dragonfly]

92 sticthes! thats worse than i thought! OMG! ouch! and there was me thinikng 3 weeks after birth i may just be able to sit on a motorbike never mind ride one. And never mind going on hols. She will see, I just have a feeling she will.

 

[amelia222]

Yep, I'm betting she doesn't end up going. I've heard too that some airlines won't even let you fly for 2-6 weeks after giving birth. Has she looked into that?
