My mom has planned a 90th birthday party for my grandparents this weekend which is in Philadelphia, about 3 hours from where I live. Starting this week I have been getting terrible cramps when driving or riding in the car and it’s really miserable, so there’s no way I can really do the drive down there. Alternatively, I could take the train but it would probably cost about $500 or more for my husband and I to go. I feel bad to miss it, but it’s just so difficult to do things like this at 30 weeks pregnant. I talked to my mom and she seems like she’s kind of upset that I’m saying I’m not sure I can make it and kind of gave me a hard time. Like saying, well other people in the family don’t want to go either. Am I crazy? Aren’t I justified in not doing a 6 or 7 hour round trip in a weekend if I’m pregnant and not feeling great? You’d think of all people your own mom would understand...
