Travel after baby (without baby)

I’m due end of June and one of my best friends (I’m in her wedding) is having her bachelorette party Labor Day weekend, so the first weekend of September. I know most of the girls going including two of my cousins, but I’m wondering if ~2 months is too soon to leave baby? I’m not planning breast feeding & I know my husband will be fully capable and he’s encouraging me to go if I want to. And my friend totally understands if I can’t make it. I might want a break by then & it’s a chill lake scene, nothing too crazy. Thoughts?

I think you totally could. But could you also bring baby?

You know your baby will be in good hands and you deserve to have fun and get some you time. Go have your fun girl 😊

I think that the baby will be fine and your husband will be fine - no one should judge you and it is not too soon, but an important consideration is whether you'll be able to relax and enjoy yourself without panic? Also, is there a deadline you'd need to know by? You might have a better idea in July/August once you actually have the baby and know their needs and "routines" Hope you have a lovely time if you go, but don't beat yourself up either way xx

Girl go have fun! As long as baby is with someone you trust then that's all that matters. It's different for every person, but mine was less than 2 months the first time I spent a weekend away. He was with my mom and my partner and I got a nice anniversary trip(and some sleep!). No one can tell you what to do, because there is no "right" answer.

Logistically not too soon, but emotionally, you may not be ready…

It’s a personal decision at the end of the day so it’s hard to really say. It’ll all fall back to whether you’ll feel ready to separate within a couple of months and enjoy it. If it’s your first, you may not know for sure until you have the baby. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you decide to go and then change your mind. I personally would not have been ready.

Def i would say think on it hard when time comes. It's definitely up to you if you think your partner can take care of baby. I know for me personally, emotionally I did not want anyone touching or having my baby out of my sight for even a second at 2 months old, but once again that's just my experience and my anxiety lol. You'll learn around maybe a month whether your emotionally ready for that step. Or heck, once have the baby start preparing like go a day with your husband taking care of baby and you go out by yourself and see how you feel after that. That might help you make that decision to go. Wish you luck on whatever you decide! 😊

2m is fine!! Say yes for now and see how you feel at the time. I would go for it! You’ll need the break Xx

I don't think you'll be able to answer this until baby is here. Everything completely changes once they're here.
