Need advice! I'm pregnant

Lexi, on September 10, 2019 at 6:48 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 18
Hey guys! So I'm in a lil bit of a inner debate. We are getting married September 5th 2020 and I just found out I'm pregnant and due in may 2020.. we're super excited though it was unplanned. My biggest concern right now is whether or not to postpone the wedding for another year. We are about to move across the country bc my fiance got an incredible job opportunity.. My family is concerned bc in the next year If we keep our date we would have to plan a bridal shower, bach party, baby shower, and diaper keg. I really wanna marry my fiance next year and hate the thought of postponing our day. But at the same time us being across the country and me being pregnant is gonna be a struggle getting back to my current town to do all these parties. Any advice appreciated.. thanks ladies!

    So just from a mother's perspective, I would keep me date if you can afford it for one sole reason. That 4 month old baby will be a lot easier to care for than a toddler at a wedding! Personally, caring for a baby was so much easier than chasing this wild toddler I have now. Just something to consider. Congrats on the little one!

    Also, those parties are all optional too. I would try to keep the baby shower though. And the bacherlotte party. You're gonna want the night out after having the baby.

    I thought maybe if I combined the diaper keg and baby shower in a weekend that would take a some weight off. Definitely want and need the Bach party.

    I'm not familiar with diaper keg, but you could absolutely do that! You could also see about having your friends come closer to you for the bacherlotte party too.

    I would keep it! I got married to my first husband 2 months after we had our son, and having a baby at the wedding was cake! And honestly, attending parties while pregnant was also not as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. I say do it!!

    I also want to know what a diaper keg is lol. And you could do the baby shower as a baby AND bridal shower at the same time. Also I agree with Gabby, you are going to want (and need) a night to your self after baby is born so you could do your bachelorette party later.

    So the diaper keg is something we do up in the midwest you buy a keg and ppl bring a package of diapers for a cup to drink the beer.

    Diaper keg sounds cool I'd do a diaper keg baby shower and just make it co-ed... I would not postpone. I would hate to feel like I regretted something bc of my child.. I'm sure u wouldn't end up feeling that way, but ya never know.

    Keep the date...after all the pregnancy/baby will be part of your beautiful journey. I know it seems like a lot but it will all work out.

    I would keep the date and combine or eliminate some of those parties.

    I couldn’t agree more ! Mom to mom - YES THIS IS TRUE. Toddlers are a lot more challenging than a baby a few months old - I would honestly keep the date ! No need to change it !!! Those other ladies aren’t mandatory and plus you can always do them together ! Engagement/bridal shower together — you don’t need a bachelorette party and deff a baby shower bc you like NEED that stuff lol even if you combine that into your bridal shower but you really don’t have to !

    also pics would be so amazing to have of your family !!!!congrats on the new baby!!!!!!! Our daughter is 4.. I have baby fever so I’m like bragging to my FH as I type this bc I’m jealous hahahah and need more babies !!!!

    Hmm sounds. Tough but doable. Maybe you can have the baby shower back at home. Then the bridal shower where you will be moving to. Have a destination wedding and whoever can make it comes. The great thing is you have time on your side so you can look into destination weddings and whoever Congress can use that time as a vacation as well.

    Also to chime in with the other mom's on WW, don't postpone your wedding!! Babies are a lot of work and will change your entire lifestyle and if you keep postponing the wedding you might never have it. You could also postpone it and get pregnant with baby 2....I would just keep the date set and work around the other details. The parties are optional but most of the wedding related one's wouldn't be occurring until after the baby anyway! Congratulations and happy pregnancy and wedding planning.

    100% this. If you postpone it..it might not happen.

    You don't need all of the parties associated with a wedding. You may want them but they're not a necessity. I say this as a mom who isn't having a bachelorette party or a bridal shower because I don't want them. With kids your priorities usually change.

    Keep the date! I agree, that babe will be much easier to handle than a toddler! You could also do a small ceremony for now and then when you're ready to go all out, have the party to celebrate in a few years. It will be a lot to plan but if family is willing to help you can sit back and enjoy that new babe. Congratulations, being a mom is the greatest feeling ever!
