Pregnant and a stressful Thanksgiving- should I just not show up?

November 22nd, 2010

Starsfan14 asked:


My mother wants us to go to her vacation house that is an hour and half away and meet my sister and her husband and four kids for Thanksgiving. My mother and I have good relationships, she lives near me and we talk all the time. However, my sister and I don’t. We never talk. She doesn’t even know that I am pregnant (I am 20 weeks). Being around my sister is very stressful on me because I am very aware of how much she doesn’t care for me and my family. If we went we would go on Thursday morning and stay few days. We would be bringing my 2 year old daughter and three of our four dogs. I want to please my mother, but I am just very uncertain about spending time around my sister. So what would you do?
My sister does not know that I am pregnant. I made it very clear to the rest of the family that she was not to be told. When I had serious complications with my daughter she was very uncaring.

Did you travel to another country while pregnant?
I will be in China during the 15th-19th weeks (already oked by doctor) and was wondering if anyone out there had special advice on travel?
I’ve heard get an aisle seat on the plane so you have easy access to pee. Any other tips?
