Pre wedding Baby fever

I'd move the wedding to this November. You never know how trying to conceive will go, and I wouldn't want to be focused on that & wedding planning since it's much easier to conceive with less stress. We waited until after our wedding to start trying, just from a financial standpoint we didn't want to be diverting funds to our wedding or honeymoon when we could be saving them for baby items, or putting into a 529 plan.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this! But I just want to add that stress has no bearing on ease of getting pregnant, that’s a myth.

I didn't know that, good to know. I was just going off what a few doctors had told us as we planned to conceive in the future.

View Quoted Comment Yes I’ve done a ton of research because I was so sick of everyone telling me I needed to relax haha. Infertility can cause stress but stress can’t cause infertility. It’s just an anecdote people like to say with no research to back it up!

That makes sense! I'm not a stressful person 99% of the time so it wasn't a big issue for us, but I do know a lot of our friends that are having trouble conceiving are under a lot of stress (but I think it's like what you say - the stress is caused by the lack of conceiving rather than vice versa). I assume it helps to be under less stress after conceiving though, for people that are prone to high-stress I can't imagine that's good on the body while pregnant?

View Quoted Comment From every study I’ve read there doesn’t seem to be an impact. People conceive in times of war and famine and as the result of assaults. Bodies are resilient and if stress was a form of birth control then the human race would’ve died out a long time ago lol.

True! I completely agree with that.

I will say trying to have a baby isn't always as easy as it may seem. My husband and I got married in July. I stopped my birth control about a week before the wedding. My periods have been pretty much non-existent since and I have been seeing a doctor about it and might have to see a fertility specialist. This is definitely not what we expected when we decided to try to have a baby. I personally wouldn't want to plan a wedding while pregnant so I would recommend moving up the wedding.

Congrats! We are getting married the same day and we are currently trying everyday to get pregnant. It's whatever you feel is right!

We're putting off getting a puppy til after the honeymoon and its killing me. 🤷‍♀️ sorry, no advice on the baby front. I can't speak about human babies, I'm thankful to be infertile.

Our wedding date is April 23rd and we plan to start trying in March. I have been tracking my periods and ovulation for awhile now. Everything seems great! Of course that doesn't mean we will get pregnant right away but we want to go ahead and start trying. The only stress I can see this adding is potential weight gain and not being able to fit in a gown. Also, health issues might arise and you'd hate to feel miserable or miss your wedding day. I think you'd be okay with either option you choose but keep your dress on mind. They can only let them out so much! Also, if you do decide to try while planning, make plans and stick with them. Don't drive yourself crazy by changing your ideas every week. I think it is totally doable!

We planned on trying on the honeymoon in March (right after the wedding), but we got excited and now I'm pregnant 😂

I would move the wedding up if you can! Then you get your wedding sooner and can start TTC! Lots of luck!

Thank you all so much ! We have decided to move up the date to October of this year ❤️

We are having the same problem right now. I would say try having the baby but give yourself a dead line. If you aren't pregnant by the middle of February, plan on having the wedding in October and trying after.

I would move the wedding up if possible.
