Should I Stay or Should I Go?

First off - if you didn't sing that line to yourself go back and re-read and sing that line. One of the greatest songs ever.

Second - when visiting the doc this week I asked if I could go to Chicago next week. He said he doesn't recommend it. According to him there is concern that if my water broke I would be stuck there until I deliver and I have no medical care there, and blah blah blah. Yet I get online and there are women still flying internationally until 32 weeks. They say you can fly locally until 35 weeks. So what do I do?

Hey Carrie! Just from my own experience, my doctor doesn't recommend/allow flying even locally past 32 weeks. We drove to Cleveland when I was 32 weeks, which is a bit shorter than the drive to Chicago, and I was in quite a bit of pain by the time we got there. When I was pregnant the first time, we were living in Chicago and drove back here a of times, but I don't think we made the trip past 32 weeks. I never flew the trip past 24 weeks or so. I wouldn't worry so much about your water breaking, because you will definitely be able to find someone to deliver your baby (in Chicago, I highly recommend Lake Forest Hospital :-). From a comfort perspective, I personally think it's miserable, but doable. Of course miserable is sometimes just a state of mind, and right now mine seems to be tainted by the fact that I'm due tomorrow and still here. :-) Good luck, whatever you decide.
