baby before wedding?!

**Soon to be bride**, on September 23, 2010 at 6:38 PM Posted in Planning 0 38

Ok....so i want a baby in the worse way...so does my FH! We are both 27. We are planning on getting married a year from now.

Does anyone else have the problem of wanting to start trying before your married...?!?! Has anyone debated or got pregnant before your wedding (while you were planning it)

    My first thought would be WAIT. lol

    I have 3 little ones (6,2 and 1) and it is SO difficult!

    From visiting venues,trying on dresses,making phone calls,keeping the wedding stuff safely stored-to worrying about who could watch them for us to take a honeymoon.

    We DO however plan on TTC right after the wedding Smiley winking

    Try to be selfish about your wedding plans right now and just focus on that...But this is just my thoughts Smiley winking

    We talked about it....briefly. We decided that even though we are both 33....we can wait just a bit longer. :-) But definately a honeymoon baby will be in the works the night of June 4th!

    BUT do what you find best suits the both of you. If you wanna, better get hopping to it if you want to get rid of some of the baby leftovers after he/she is born!

    We did and are waiting. I don't want to have a wedding where everyone else around me is "living it up" and I am sober suzy. I know I won't be drinking much at the wedding, but a few glasses of champagne will do me right and I want to party with all my friends and family. This is just my personal opinion, but I don't want to spend all this $$$$ and then be limited.

    I think if you both want it so much I don't see anything wrong with it. How would your parents feel? Some people are religious and would look down on this.

    You could be up to 3 months preggo before your showing... Eek, I shouldn't enable you Smiley smile but as others have said, it's soo hard planning with kids.

    You also need to think about pregnancy symptoms-I had really bad morning sickness with one of mine....

    I think this is a discussion that has been made, But I'm not one to go search for it sorry... haha. I feel you on the baby fever. We have a 4 year old. And just with her it's nuts. I'm more nervous about the actual reception having her around. Having a baby right before the wedding you would have a lil one to stress about while trying to get ready for the ceremony, and at the reception I don't know what would be your plans (but I don't feel anyone should be responsible for someones infant) so you would need to make sure someone responsible is looking after lil one while you enjoy time with guests. It could added extra stress... FS and I agreed that once the wedding night has come, all protection ends haha sorry TMI

    I was planning a wedding and then I became pregant with my 2nd child. Well I had to put my wedding plans on hold B/C Kids are EXPENSIVE. Plus it is soooooo hard to plan things now. I miss half the things the venues I visit are saying b/c I am chaseing them or yelling at them not to touch. I would defenitily wait until after the wedding. Trust me. : )

    I would wait...1. if you are preggo during the wedding you could be sick, or wont be able to party hardy (if thats ur thing), finding a dress to accomodate the belly etc 2. If you have the baby before the wedding you are still getting adjusted to your new lifestyle taking care of the new lil one, have to find somoene to watch the baby during honeymoon, who will take care of baby during ceremony reception..etc....I have a 2yr old and I am dying for another one but we are waiting til wedding night to start trying...It can be done though...a lot of the girls on here have done it and been just as happy!

    We thought about it, because I'm 33 and he's 35 and we're summer (not spring) chickens. But we have a nine-month engagement anyway, and we want to be able to stay out late and have fun at teh wedding.

    I just had my first son 4 months ago and let me tell you how freakin hard it has been to plan this wedding..im so greatful that my mom has taken the bulk of the planning because of the baby..but it is still tough,he goes everywhere with me when it comes to planning or getting stuff ready...the day of the wedding my cousin asked if she could watch him for me..she volunteered to watch him so that i didn't have to worry about him not getting feed or diaper changed...so think long and hard about whats right for you and your fh!!!

    I recently officiated a tiny wedding (B&G and 3 kids).

    The toddler insisted on being held by first one parent then the other.

    Bride was wearing short strapless dress. Every time she'd pass baby back to groom, she had to hitch up the dress. This went on throughout the whole ceremony. Take baby from groom, pass baby back to groom, hitch up dress, take baby from groom, pass baby back to groom, hitch up dress, etc., etc., etc.

    I'm pregnant and am getting married in less than 3 weeks. I will be 21 weeks along at the wedding. We were planning on getting married in May and then we found out I was pregnant and I wanted to move it up. It has been difficult planning a wedding pregnant. It's added stress that you shouldn't have to deal with when pregnant, but it was my choice. Do what is going to make you happy.

    BUT, take my advice, buy an empire waisted flowy dress lol Don't TRY to make something else work. I ended up having to buy a new dress.
