too soon after

[nmf1987]

right i know im not the only one with the most amazing tickets ever to the take that tour.

my question is are any of you thinking baby wont be old enough and its unfair for you to leave them.

im due 22nd june and tickets are for 6th july. i dont know what to do. sounds really stupid but if i dont get to go then i know i will literally sit at home crying all day. i am thinking if he is a couple of weeks old one evening isn't going to hurt and he gets some bonding time with daddy.

this is a once in a lifetime oppourtunity as far as im concerned. i dont want people to think im a bad mum though.

what are you all doing. snr i know your dates are closer so whats your plan? xxx

No way would you be a bad mum for leaving him for a night. And its with his dad silly As you said, it'll give LO and daddy some important bonding time. Even though you're a mum, you must remember to make time for you too. A happy mum makes for a happy LO IMHO.

Look forward to the tour and blooming well enjoy yourself! x

becoming a mum shouldnt mean giving up who you are. I am guessing it will be for a short period (4-6 hrs?) so expressing milk could help.

only real question I have is within such a short period will YOU be physically able to go or just exhausted? Is there a later concert you can attend?

Wouldn't think u a bad mum but it's just whether u could actually do it. You might feel different when baby comes and not want to leave. Also, what if you go over-due?

got no chance of getting other tickets now. plus there are quite a few of us going.

to be honest i dont care how tired i am i wouldn't miss robbie and the boys for just abit of tiredness. obviously will be different if i have a c-section of if he is only a couple of days old. xxx

I'm due June 5th and have tickets for July 4th. I ummmed and ahhhed over going but decided I couldn't miss the opportunity of going and seeing them with Robbie!

OH has been told he's babysitting whilst I'm out.

I was worried about going incase I went over or had to have a C-section but have been assured that I'll be induced before my due date so will have about 4 weeks to recover from the birth so I'm lucky in that respect so even if I have to have a C-section I should be ok to go.

My main concern is whether I'll feel able to leave him so soon after having him. He won't know whether I'm there or not and his Daddy should be more than capable to look after him.

I'm just going to wait and see how I feel nearer the time and if I don't feel up to it, I won't go. But I've not missed a tour yet and don't intend to miss this one!

I've had to give my ticket to a family member as a present but nothing can beat the feeling that I might pop out my little angel around that time although... Going into labour with robbie standing there would be AMAZING!! X

 

[nmf1987]

a few people have said yeah right like you will want to leave the baby that early on. thing is i actually think its better to leave them sooner than later as it will only become more difficult. my sister kept putting it off then went out for like an hour or so when she was 6 weeks old and rung my parents who were babysitting every 10 minutes.

if i go to overdue then again i won't be able to go but if he comes on due date or before i think it is a must to go. xxx

Oh wow - your a big fan - this is a big deal then hun! I think you should definatley go and yes it would be a fab opportunity for daddy to bond with baby!

Is there someone that could be at home with daddy like his mum or your mum just to give you peace of mind and a bit of support for him. or maybe someone on back up on the phone just incase he needs assistance, he could maybe get a male friend round and both make a night of it, get a take away curry and watch a bit of inbetweeners with a tinny or 2...?

I just asked my OH how he would feel if we were in your situation and wouldnt mind if it was me going to the concert (i'm a big blur fan so i put blur in the storyline

Go for it mate xx

 

[nmf1987]

lol we went to blur in hyde park a couple of years ago. was amazing.

well my dad can have bubs if not as still not sure about the situation with oh's work etc. he might still be working when i need to leave. if that is the case would 100% trust and be happy for my dad to have him. then oh could have a night to enjoy himself to. would be one of the only times we would get chance to both do something. xxx

 

[Roo3]

I've got a feeling that the night I'm at the concert, OH might find an excuse to go to his parents for the evening!!!

It was OH who pushed me into going for the ticket when it was offered to me as I really wasn't sure. In fact, I didn't bother going for the first lot of tickets that were released as I thought it was too soon.

 

[nmf1987]

lol. i have only got this ticket cos of my cousin. my mum got me one but now she is having nothing to do with me actually laughed and said oh defo not going now are you.

little do you know mother bitch my gorgeous cousin has a ticket for me anyway. lol. xxx

Hehe we went to blur hyde park too well that sounds like a plan, thats great that your Dad is good like that!! ooo i've just got all excited for you as you dont have long to go now!!! xx

 

[nmf1987]

i know. keep thinking its going to be sooner rather than later aswell as having pains quite alot now. fingers crossed. xxx

 

[KellyHook]

Definitely go! If you can't I will go in your place..hehe xx

 

[nmf1987]

lol. i think alot of people would kelly. thats what makes it all the more important that i go. lol. xxx

 

[clairebear22]

I was offered to go by my best friend but chose not to. But then i'm planning to breast feed so couldn't even if I wanted to lol. You're defo not doing anything wrong by going hun! Have fun! x

 

[snr1982]

My due date is the 20th June and my tickets are for the 23rd of June.. ( just like to say that these where bought before we knew I was pregnant and it was an early xmas presents, in fact i think i can say its the only christmas present i've ever had from my other half in the 5 years we have been together. ) and if baby is here before this date then at this moment in time I am still very much going. really depends on what happens though, as if i give birth the day before i dont think its going to be very practical unless i can some how get my other half to agree to come to Glasgow with me for the night. but I will just cross that bridge if and when it gets here. Im not worried about leaving him/her with other half as i know that they will get on just fine without me. I think you should stop worrying and just go! you wont be a bad mum for leaving the little one and it will probably give your other half a good chance to spend some quality time with baby on his own. .

ps I am also breastfeeding but im just going to express what i can.

 

[nmf1987]

yeah snr im thinking the same. i am also going to attempt breastfeeding so will be expressing. if i dont get to go for any reason the only way i will be slightly happy is if my cousin rings me from start to finish of the concert. xxx
