Husband staying sober after 35 weeks?

Question

So my husband usually likes to drink with his friends every weekend (usually at our house). I’m 35 weeks now and the thought of going into labor while he’s drunk just hit me😳 what would I do? Haha is it too much to ask him to stay sober from now until I go into labor?!

Answer

I just had the same conversation with my husband! 😂

Answer

Thanks everyone! I asked him, he agreed completely he shouldn’t drink too much in the last few weeks. Yay home stretch!!

Answer

I don't think that's asking too much.

Answer

I’ve had the same conversation with my partner! He isn’t happy because it’s the World Cup 🙄🙄 we live in the UK and it’s huge over here so if England make the final he wants to drink but I will be about 38/39 weeks then! I’ve said he can go out but no drinks allowed as he needs to be able to drive!

Answer

My aunt made my uncle not drink anytime she couldn’t - so all 9 months of pregnancy and during a decent amount of time with her breastfeeding. I could never do that to my husband, but I think what you’re asking is very reasonable.

Answer

I had this conversation tonight! 37 weeks, no more drinking.
I will be absolutely livid if I have to go to the hospital and he can't drive... seriously, I'm leaving his ass at home

Answer

I don't think it's too much to ask at all. It's just asking for him to be prepared and responsible for his family. You and the baby should be his first priority no matter what sacrifice that means.

Answer

It’s not a lot I ask and if he can’t I’d be a little once you bring the baby home.

Answer

My husband does the same thing but I just told him starting week 37 he's no aloud to have anyone over

Answer

With my first, I asked that after 37 wks, he not get good and drunk. A few drinks was ok - sure he wouldn’t drive me to the hospital but we can figure that out. I was more concerned with a drunk / hungover man cold during labor and delivery.  And I asked that if I wasn’t feeling well during any of my pregnancy that he not drink at all. Just in case.
