So I planned a destination wedding for Sept 2017. Everyone already paid their deposits. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant!!!!! By the time the wedding comes I will have a 4 month old. What in the world am I supposed to do!? Can you even travel with a four month old?

    Why couldn't you?

    You can either proceed as planned and expect to be exhausted and likely have to breastfeed (if you will be doing so) at your reception, or cancel and figure something else out.

    Congrats!

    Congratulations!!! I would continue on with my plans or change to something a little closer to home. Micheal Phelps had his baby at the Olympics!! So I would say you are OK!

    Congratulations!! You have some choices to make, but don't get too overwhelmed and make any snap decisions. If you might change your wedding plans to be closer to home you'll need to move quickly, but make sure you give yourself some time to let this news sink in and think through all the options before you change things. Enjoy your good news!

    Hi Miranda! Congrats on your pregnancy! The three-month old baby can take traveling pretty well. The only thing you need to conciser is that they require a lot of attention you'll be very tired. On the other hand if someone else can take care of our baby on your wedding day, it could be a great chance to take a day off from home routine.

    Congratulations. You can definitely travel with a 4 month old, although you might not want to. Discuss with your FH. Do you want to get married while you are pregnant, and have a small/courthouse wedding, and then postpone your destination to when the baby is a bit older?

    You can travel with a four month old. I did with my little one, my suggestion is to bring a binkie (or whatever you call them in your family) or something they can suck on for the pressure in their ears or else they will cry. It will be a little more work but so totally worth it! Btw you can bring a stroller in the airplane/airport just bring an easily foldable stroller so you don't have to carry your child everywhere. And since they're so young they can ride on your lap for free!

    Congrats on your pregnancy! Such wonderful news Smiley smile
