How do I convince my husband I’ll be okay?

Question

We really need to go to babies r us to get the stroller for our daughter and return things from our baby shower. Problem is it’s an hour and 20 mins away from our hospital. My husband is so scared something is going to happen while we’re out and not make it back. I’m 37 weeks and only dilated to a 1. My Braxton Hicks have been really bad the last few days but other than I’m fine! My husband just won’t listen to me! How to I tell him I’ll be fine?

Answer

To get from a 1 to a 10 takes HOURS! In most cases. Even if you did go into labor you would make it there and back just fine 😂

Answer

You’ll be fine, I had Braxton while walking around at the gym and stopping for a breath was all that was needed. I mean worse cause you go into labor and you’re already in the car.

Answer

Maybe educate him a little on how long labor normally takes 🤷‍♀️

Answer

If you're effaced more than 80% and in active labor then things could progress quickly or very slowly. Everyone is different. But if you're only having Braxton hicks and 37 weeks you're probably good for him to go!

Answer

Took me 40+ hrs to get from 1-10. I think you will be fine
