Pregnant - Would You Postpone?

I wouldn't postpone, but then have never been pregnant so perhaps not the best judge.

Would it be possible to bring it forward at all?

Congratulations! And extra congratulations considering it was natural!

I wouldn't postpone it. At 19 weeks you'll be at the small but visible bump and radiant stage. Not sick like the first few weeks, or waddling like the last few. Did you have a good pregnancy last time round? If yes, I would say be a pregnant bride!

The ony thing a pregnancy chages is your dress, and not drinking (and maybe the menu if it contains shellfish and blue cheese), which in the grand scheme of a wedding day and what the wedding means, isn't that much. You will still have a fabulous day, as will your guests. And you will have an extra little person in all the pictures :-)

Firstly congratulations! My friend also conceived naturally after IVF twins - a shock but a blessing all at the same time!

You are no doubt feeling very overwhelmed at the moment so probably best to come to terms with the pregnany before making any rash decision about the wedding. The decision is entirely yours but I'd be inclined to stick with your plans. Remember a wedding doesn't have to be stressful - it is what you make it!

All the best!

Firstly you have to look at this as amazing news. Secondly I dont think you need to panic, it sounds as though most things are in place. I personally have never been pregnant, but I think if I was in your situtation I would still get married when plannned, if not sooner ?

Congratulations.

i dont know what i'd do to be honest.

i think as a lot of things are in place it wouldn't be ideal to postpone - especially not finacially which im sure will is obviously a big thing at any time never mind when you're having a baby and that could add more stress to your self.

i would say go for it.

If it was me, today, then yes, I'd postpone as I'd be over 6 months pregnant and couldn't fly out for my wedding!

If I were you, I probably wouldn't. Can the style of your dress be altered so as to accommodate your bump?

Ultimately, it's a decision only you can make I'm afraid.

Big big congratulations! Heartwarming to hear such lovely news for a change!!

I'm not sure what I would do but imagine how happy you will feel surrounded by your family and your new husband with your lovely twins and a new baby growing away inside ? Sounds like a magical day!! I'd say decide how happy you'd feel in your dress or about changing your dress, and how happy you'd be about waiting.

Its not just about the practicalities of it though, its about how you fell. Maybe flip a coin and when its in the air you'll know what side you want it to land on ?

I wouldn't have liked to have been pregnant on my wedding day but I'm saying that from the point of view babies for us then wouldn't have been good timing for multiple reasons. At just 19 weeks and since it's fantastic news that it's happened naturally I think I would go ahead with the wedding. Usually I'd would say no and postpone it but 19 weeks isn't going to mean you are waddling down the aisle or really tired and uncomfortable all day. You might not even be showing then, a lot of my friends certainly weren't. Congratulations xx

Absolutely what she said, which also brought a tear to my eye!

Congratulations and I hope you make the decision that's right for you.

Its a very personal decision that only you can make but thought I'd share a pic of my friend on her wedding day. Wedding was august and baby was born in december so possibly about the same as you will be, maybe a bit less.

CongratulatiOns! I wouldn't postpone, in fact I would rather do it pregnant than potentially not long after having had the baby or putting it off for a long time until he/she is older. 19 weeks is a good stage, you will be rid of morning sickness (hopefully!) and won't have a huge bump, your dress could probably be altered to fit around a little belly. We weren't sure what to do about ttc as we wanted to start trying now but with the wedding we have put it off, mainly because I didn't want to be suffering with sickness (I had it really bad last time) and I look dog rough when pregnant, all the way through - no glow here! Good luck x

Congratulations!

Personally I wouldn't want to be pregnant on our wedding day which is why we are waiting till afterwards to ttc, however it's impossible for me to predict what I would do if we accidentally got pregnant. My major concern would be less about practicalities of dress etc and more about what would I do if there was a problem with the pregnancy, either a few weeks before or afterwards. Not to sound negative though. I just think a while back when this subject came up before someone had a friend who'd been pregnant on their wedding day and then lost the baby afterwards and now can't bear to look at the pictures from the day.

Entirely a personal decision for you and your OH.

I'm together with everyone else- congratulations!! It's wonderful news! I wouldn't postpone, as it's only about halfway through the pregnancy. If you're having the dress made from scratch, I'm sure you can arrange to have it slightly larger around the expected future bump, and then altered last minute! You could even tweak the design if it doesn't suit a small baby bump.

I would expect that postponing would be worse, as you'll be tired and still have a bump, maybe even bigger than the bump at 19 weeks! Or would you postpone it a year or more? I don't know, everyone is different, but I wouldn't postpone.

Congratulations! Fab news!

I'll be honest I wouldnt have wanted to be pregnant on my wedding day, mainly for the reasons that you have said above. You only get to do it once so its nice to be able to join in with everyone and fully enjoy the party without having to worry. As you say have a little think, postponing it wouldnt be the end of the world and you would have an extra little person to attend when you do have it!

CONGRATULATIONS ?

Nothing more to add but that!

Hi,

I wouldn't postpone as you will only be 19 weeks, is this ur first baby? I wouldn't imagine you will be showing very much at all.

I was about 17 weeks pg with DD and didn't show at all, no one would have even known lol!
