Hey ladies, I'm looking for some advice. My wedding date is set for May 13, 2017...I have started planning for my big day. I have my venue, my photographer, wedding coordinator, planning on engagement session, etc., BUT...I just found out on Monday that I'm pregnant (very early) and that my due date...

Hey ladies, I'm looking for some advice. My wedding date is set for May 13, 2017...I have started planning for my big day. I have my venue, my photographer, wedding coordinator, planning on engagement session, etc., BUT...I just found out on Monday that I'm pregnant (very early) and that my due date is 2 weeks after my wedding date (eeeekkk!!!). No one knows yet except for my fiancé of course. We've been thinking about postponing the wedding but I kind of just want to go through with it. Plus my chosen wedding date is the day before Mother's Day. Just curious to know if you were me what would you do?

    Congratulations!!

    I would move it up to as soon as you can possibly plan it. Being heavily pregnant can be exhausting and you don't want to add wedding stress to the mix when the focus should be on you and baby, I think second trimester would be golden, maybe January? Or wait for a couple months to a year after baby comes. Nothing while baby is a newborn. Personally, I'd have April-July/August as absolute black-out no wedding days. Those are very special mommy and baby and new family bonding times! I really really really think you need to change your date to be safe, it's up to you to decide before or after?

    Congratulations!! Definitely move the wedding up or postpone! For so many reasons! First off, some babies come early. You dont want to pay for the wedding and then not be able to go because you are giving birth. Also, even if baby comes late, the last month of pregnancy (and this is different for every woman and every baby) was exhausting. I didnt feel beautiful at any point for the last month. Another big thing is your dress. It is hard to plan on the dress size because baby might be small or huge lol

    Congratulations!! I would postpone atleast 6 months if not more from the original date. From my experience, I was sick and vomitting the first 5 months of pregnancy and then enormous and miserable from then until my son was born, so getting married while pregnant would have been really unpleasant for me! Then once the baby is born, there is the whole no sleep thing. I was exhausted and lived in a fog for a few months until I got the hang of it. I can not imagine the stress of caring for yourself (because yes, you will need time to let your body heal and bounce back), a newborn and planning a wedding! Every person is different, but I would definitely postpone and give yourself some time! Congratulations!!! And best wishes for a happy, heathy pregnancy!!!

    If I were you I would postpone it or get married earlier. You don't want the stress of a wedding and being pregnant. You want to be as healthy as possible for your baby. Congrats and good luck!

    Congratulations! This happened to a friend of mine. They decided to move the wedding up, have a smaller guest list (invites hadn't been sent yet), and they also did the gender reveal cake/balloons during the reception. It was very cute Smiley smile

    Its been a while since this was posted but currently in the same situation except 2 weeks before the wedding so looking to see what we should do about that honestly cause its so stressful and we have been planning since July of last year. We have previously already thought about cancelling the wedding due to my mother causing extreme issues but this just makes it more real
