Pregnant and due in my wedding month!

Shenel, 10 March, 2021 at 12:00 Posted on Planning 0 3
Hi all,


So I have just found out yesterday that I am in early stages of pregnancy around 1 month but haven’t spoken to a doctor/midwife yet. My wedding venue and catering was booked provisionally for 24th October this year but we haven’t actually paid anything yet or done much planning due to COVID-19. We definitely won’t be able to go with that wedding date anymore as I would be 8 months pregnant and potentially be having my baby at 8 months due to being diabetic. Of course it’s still early days and this is all assuming my pregnancy goes well. My options are:1) try to make the wedding earlier (may not be possible due to covid and already quite a tight timescale, plus would still be potentially heavily pregnant).2) look at doing a quick registry wedding soon whilst I’m pregnant and having the reception next year. This would suit me as I hate weddings and being centre of attention but I know my partner and our families would love a proper thing and probably wonder what the point of this is.3) completely move the whole thing until next year. I know a lot of people would say do this but I was so looking forward to getting married this year. I am so happy about being pregnant but also sad that we may not be able to get married. I think a lot of my friends and family would say this option makes more sense. Should I just accept this fact and move on?
What would you do? Or should I wait a bit longer to see if this pregnancy is viable seeing as this is my first ever pregnancy. I’m open to hearing about other options too xx

    Hi,


    Personally I would push the wedding back. If you could bring it forward, then you would be best suited to do it whilst in your 2nd trimester when hopefully all the sickness has faded, but you're not too heavily pregnant to be able to cope.
    However, weddings are stressful and especially as this is your first pregnancy I would push it back and focus on your impending arrival. Pregnancy is no easy feat and you will want to get all the rest and relaxation you can.
    Hope that helps x

    Thanks Tamsin. Will definitely think it over for a week or 2 before deciding for certain x

    Hi, just out of interest did you make a decision on this?


    I have also recently found out I am pregnant and would be due 6-8 weeks before our wedding date. Which has been mostly booked.
    This is also on a date that is sentimental to us and we are very reluctant to move it.
