How many centimeters dilated does my wife have to be ...

[tk2kewl]

for me not to go fishing this weekend? :shrug:

1. 3 or 4 maybe

:-)

[tk2kewl]

2. so 2 is a go then

:D

3. I was dilated at a 2 for over a week.

When I finally went into labor I never made it past a 5. (Yep, c-section here.)

A friend went from nothing at a doctor's appointment two days before to having her baby in her husband's truck. She was in labor for a total of 90 minutes, they live way out in the country and he got the truck stuck in mud. They were 5 miles from the hospital when they had to pull over.

Dude, this really depends on your wife and on what the doctor says.

6. the doctor said that *she* should stay off the boat.

he didn't say anything about me staying off the boat :D

but really, I can get home from fishing in less than an hour, so I'm thinking it's probably ok. :P

9. I wasn't allowed to be more than 35 minutes from my

doctor at any time, just in case.

Just saying...think about it. If she's that close at least have a family member or a close friend stay with her.

[tk2kewl]

10. I think maybe I will just skip fishing. I can go just about any time.

I don't want to miss anything. :bounce:

17. It would suck to rush back from a fishing trip,

full of beer and sun, and then have to stay awake for a day or two while she's in labor.

You're best bet is to stick around and have you both relax. Once the baby is born you can take him/her fishing with you. I took my daughter to the beach at six weeks and took her out into the water.

4. Depends. Is this your first? And how effaced is she?

In other words, don't do it.

[tk2kewl]

7. i dont know about the effacement.

she was long and closed 2 weeks ago; 1 cm last week; 2 cm today

[xmas74]

12. Thank you.

I brought up the example of a friend and how fast labor and delivery can be. If she's that close to going into labor he shouldn't be going somewhere for pleasure.

Business is another deal altogether. If you don't have a choice it's understandable.

5. I'm answering for your wife

ZERO!!!

:D

[tk2kewl]

8. yeah...

i should probably be asking Mrs. 2kewl and not you guys. :+

[trof]

11. When my daughter's contractions were 1:20 apart

we went shopping and had lunch at Paneras.
She had the baby at 11:40 that night.
Her second.

[tk2kewl]

15. so, should I take Mrs. 2kewl fishing with me?

:rofl:

[trof]

19. As long as she baits her own hook.

;-)

[tk2kewl]

21. she hates that...

when she comes fishing i spend all day cutting bait and almost no time fishing :P

[LeftyMom]

13. Unless you want your rectum dialated with a foot you should stay close to home.

[tk2kewl]

20. is this close enough?

:shrug:

[seemunkee]

14. Doesn't she have a doctor that fishes?

Sounds like short sighted planning on your part.

[tk2kewl]

16. actually, he does fish...

or as he describes it: he drinks beer while his friends do the fishing :beer:

[seemunkee]

18. Take him along

Your wife can cast from shore knowing the two people she will need are nearby.
