Hi,
I think do what you feel is right. I know people say every hospital is good but like you, I would feel more comfy knowing I was close to where I know, my own hospital as it were.
You could go, stay a while and come back earlier? It's a toughy this one! I don't think anyone would be annoyed with you if you chose to stay put and not every first pregnancy is overdue. My friend was 6 weeks early!
If you feel up to it, go, take note of how you feel a day or so before, if you get really really tired, I have been told that is one of the signs of the start of labour. Also, will going make you more upset and stressed?
Everyone has their own opinions and I think on this one, only you can decide!
Sorry to hear about the loss. Take care and keep in touch x

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I think if it were me, I would go to the funeral. It would be a lot of closure for you and I think your family and friends would be so so pleased that you had gone. I have never heard of anyone giving birth on their due date, it so is often over a week before or after. It just depends on whether you think you can deal with it, funerals are never a walk in the park. But it you did go, I'm sure your Uncle Paul would be very proud. However, I'm sure he would understand why you wouldn't go as well. Good luck, I really hope it all goes well for you, whatever you decide. Billo x

Hey! I forgot I read your blog earlier and just didn't have time to reply at that time. I think that if you feel at all uncomfortable with going then you should stay home. I know I wouldn't want to stray too far from my doctor and my hospital of choice. While this person was obvioulsy very close to you, people should be understanding if you decide not to attend. It in no way reflects how you felt about him. I would imagine that a nice phone call to his closest family would certainly let them know you're grieving right along side them. I'm really sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself!

Hey, it depends on how u feel! I had a christening invite( i know its not the same thing!) but anyway i decided not to go just incase then went 11 days over due! If you feel nervous about going, i wouldnt. If you feel fine then just be prepared, take all your bits and if you go into labour then look for the nearest hospital.
How r u anyway?

| 25-6-2008 - should i go? |  My mood while writing this blog:sad |
A very good family friend that i call my Uncle Paul died of a heart attack attack last week and we have just been told the funeral is next tues (1st July) my due date is the 3rd July so i'm a bit confused about what to do. The funeral is in Stratford which is approx 2.5-3 hours away. I'm terrifed that i'll go ito labour there or something. Mum thinks i should come and just take all my stuff and if i do go into labour then i'll just have to have it in a hospital there! She's probably right, it probably isn't that much of a big deal but i know where i am in Norwich and where to go etc.... am i being a wimp? Also everyonesays 'oh you'll go overdue anyway, you always do with your first! AAAaaahhhhhhhh!!! i don't know wot to do! I guess because it's my first i'm making a mountain out of a mole hill but i just feel it'd be better if i satyed home?
Please let me know your opinions on the matter, wot would you do?
