Pregnant

I don't have any advice, just wanted to say congrats!!

Thank you Morgan, the picture in your header is beautiful by the way.

Congratulations!! I don't really have advice either, but I have been to a wedding where first time mom had given birth kind of recently. She was tired, but still wanted to celebrate with everyone their family. Baby wore a cute dress, was held by grandmas for most of the night, and momma fit into her dress. She contributed to breast feeding.

Hope that helps a little?

Congratulations!

My fiancé and I were actually planning to get married in March of this year, but I got pregnant and was due in December. We ultimately decided to postpone the wedding for a year because being a new mom to a newborn is exhausting and time consuming. I couldn't imagine trying to nurse and take care of the baby and still fully enjoying our wedding. If you feel that you would have the help and support to keep your date, then go for it! Personally I didn't want to wedding plan while pregnant. lol

I really appreciate all of your input and well wishes. This is such a weird time for me, i went from full blown wedding planning to baby and wedding planning -- two very crazy but very exciting times of life. i cant help but laugh.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Most of the women from my mother's generation have been telling me that when I have children that I should budget a minimum of three months before I consider myself "recovered". Partly due to physical healing, but also due to not getting a whole lot of sleep. There's also a fair amount of time required to get established with breastfeeding and adjusting to the first few growth spurts and the change in feeds that come along with that. I agree with PPers and would consider a smaller ceremony on your original date with a big vow renewal later or to push the wedding back to 2019. Babies are wonderful, but they inevitable take a lot of time and energy and you want to have time to focus on your upcoming baby and starting a new chapter as a married woman.

Just saying congrats!

Well i don’t have any advice, sorry. so i just want to say congratulations and i wish you all the happiness life with your baby and your soon to be husband.

Congratulations! Everyone recovers differently from childbirth and there is no way to predict how you'll be feeling. A lot of mom's experience the newborn forest when everything can get really overwhelming. I can't imagine Id be capable of having a wedding two months after my daughter was born. But that being said you might be one of those people who can. If it were me I'd probably move up my wedding a bit if possible so I could enjoy being a new parent instead of focusing on wedding details. Those tiny squishy babies don't last long! They grow up so fast in the first year! But again congratulations and I hope you enjoy your pregnancy.

Honestly the dress situation is tough .. while somebody can gain 25 lbs others gain alot more .. I gained 70 lbs with all 3 of my pregnacys .. I am struggling to lose the last 20 lbs from my last pregnancy my daughter's a year old ..

I feel like this is completely preference on how you want to do it.

Technically you won't be pregnant during the event. I'm betting you'll be super tired though. I always refused to be pregnant when I got married.

I like the idea of postponing until baby is a year. I'm not a fan of the shotgun wedding thing but it makes sense if someone wants to do so. And then have a renewal later.

Congrats OP.

First off congrats! As far as the dress that's hit or miss. I gained 35lbs and lost everything but 10lbs right after I delivered my son but I couldn't get into my pre-pregnancy pants until 4 months later. If you choose to bf you will definitely have to stop and either nurse/pump or even bottle feed. The first few months I know for me I was exhausted running on little sleep. I would say either have a small ceremony sooner or postpone and enjoy pregnancy and have a wedding after the baby is a little older.

Congrats!!!! I have no advice but whatever you decide this is still an exciting time!

It's gonna be super stressful! I had my daughter in June and was married in October my honest advice would be move your date up prior to birth or back. I was like a mad women between dress fittings her doctor appointments and vendor meetings. Babies love routine atleast mine does and she didn't appreciate me throwing that off. Diys your at the mercy of your child alot of mine i did after she was asleep.

If you do decide to keep your date do as much as you can prior to the birth every little last detail because once that baby comes all focus will be on them. When it comes to a dress every person is different me I'm still losing baby weigh but I know people who were back to pre weight 3 wks postpartum. If your breast feeding your boobs will get alot bigger your best bet is to go shopping when your 6 months they can always take in or out but by then your chest should be larger. It's a hell of a ride enjoy it!

Sorry my thoughts are all scrambled!

No advice but congratulations!

Update (in case you were wondering): Fiance and I have decided to marry in March with just us and our parents/siblings. We will use our original date since we already have deposits in place for a more casual "Reception Only" event. Everybody wins!

Thank you all for your support and advice.

Krista make sure everyone knows you are already married when it comes to your reception only event. Congrats!

Oh, absolutely. The invites will note "Reception Only". Also, the package we are looking at includes a photographer for our ceremony and I would like to have those photos on loop at the reception

Congrats!! FH and I got pregnant and are due in March. We have a bit more time than you in between having the baby and our wedding, but are you set on that date? This is my first baby too but I'd feel like only 2 months post partum might be a little rough!
