Just Said Yes July 2020

Pregnant before the wedding?

Keishla, on September 16, 2018 at 3:17 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 13

DH and I got married in July of this year (just by our selves) and currently planning a destination wedding for July 2020 with about 20 guest which will only be our immediate family.

*My original plan was to take my birth control off shortly before the wedding to avoid traveling with Baby-Snow or leaving him/her for someone to care as a newborn but DH votes for me either being preggo at our wedding or having Baby-Snow be part of our wedding,

*But nooowww I'm having second thoughts. Maybe take off my birth control now and try to conceive hopefully in a perfect world quickly so Baby-Snow can arrive somewhere between August and Dic of 2019 so that Baby-Snow can attend the wedding somewhere 5-6 months later?

Have any of you girls "planned", had baby at the wedding or went pregnant to the wedding? how was your experience? Im 28 and DH 30 - were having 2nd thoughts because of age, we dont want to start having kids to far away specially since we are already married and have everything together by now.

    Personally I'd rather wait. No way I'd want to be pregnant for my wedding.

    I don’t think I’d want to be pregnant at my wedding either. You wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy yourself. No drinking no excursions.

    No reason to rush it you’re so young. Besides my pharmacist told be to be off birth control for six months before trying to get pregnant which I had never heard before but it made me rethink my timeline.

    I haven't been in this situation so I can't speak from experience or anything but I personally wouldn't plan on being pregnant at my destination wedding. As others said, you wouldn't be able to drink or do lots of fun excursions, so it might lose of the allure of having a destination wedding (my thinking anyway). Is there no option to push the wedding up to 2019, is everything already booked? I think I would rather move the wedding up than be pregnant or even bring a very little baby along to it.

    Honestly, I can't imagine waiting an extra two years to have a baby, just for one day. Yes, it will be a nuisance to be pregnant or have a small child along. But "nuisance" kind of comes with having a baby at all, and there just isn't going to be a perfect time for it. I'd say to go with the timing that otherwise works for you, rather than planning it around the wedding.

    I would not want to be pregnant at my wedding. I really wanted a baby and had less concern about getting married. My fiance really wanted to get married.

    We decided to get engaged this summer and do a destination wedding in February. It was a compromise. He gets the wedding, but we scheduled it semi soon. Next spring we will be trying for a baby.

    I would not want to put off the baby that long. I would think about moving up the wedding, if possible.

    Hold on if you are already married you are having a VOW RENEWAL not a wedding ceremony. Having a kid at any age before and after a wedding vs before and after a destination vow renewal is completely different.

    If you arent ready for a kid, dont have one yet. I dont think it matters when your vow renewal is.

    Since technically it a vow renewal in front of friends and family, I don't see anything wrong with having a baby beforehand. If you don't want to be pregnant at the vow renewal (which I agree with PPs, I wouldn't want to be), then I would attempt to plan to have a baby before or to wait to start trying until after

    Start trying when you are ready for it. Life isn't perfect. If you start trying now you could either get pregnant right away, take years or not at all. Don't try to plan getting pregnant around the DW. Also be flexible with the DW date. What if you get pregnant 8 months before the DW. You shouldn't be traveling when you are farther along. What if you go into labor early and you are stuck in some strange place with a baby in the NICU. That happened to my friend. They are stuck in Colorado with a 1lb super early preemie.

    My best friend from college got engaged shortly after she got pregnant and was 4-5 months along at the wedding. She was definitely still beautiful as ever and she is now happily living with her four month old baby and her husband Smiley smile

    Start trying when you're 100% ready. You could get pregnant right away, or it could take months/years, or heaven forbid you have fertility issues it could take longer.

    I definitely wouldn't plan my wedding day around having a baby and vice versa. I think these are two totally different things that deserve their own special time and attention and celebration.

    You're young, age doesn't really matter in men. Being 28, you have plenty of healthy years of fertility for conception ahead of you. Take it slow and don't rush into a baby because you think you're old.

    Enjoy your wedding planning, worry about the baby next.
