Pregnant and need advice!!!

Carly, on December 6, 2023 at 2:23 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 3
Hello all, so I just found out i’m about 5 weeks pregnant and will be due in early August 2024. My wedding is June 2, 2024 which would make me about 7 months pregnant for my wedding. I have already accepted that the date is going to have to be moved as I did not want to have a huge belly on my wedding day, and wanted to be able to drink, dance, and just enjoy myself in general. I’ve never been pregnant so I don’t know how my pregnancy will be. I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation before, and if it’s better to try to get an earlier date when i’m less pregnant, or to postpone until baby is maybe 8/9 months old. Desperately need advice as I will be a first time mother and am feeling slightly sad about moving my date. I have been feeling guilty and selfish for being sad about moving my date, but I know my child’s life is more important than a wedding. Could use any advice or encouragement during this time. SOS!

    If your goal is to be able to drink, like you state, then definitely move the date to after you are no longer pregnant!

    Like Cece said, if you want to be able to drink then you'd have to move the date until after you have the baby. You can't drink while pregnant. Also no pregnancy is the same so even if you decided you are okay with not being able to drink at your wedding there is no saying how you will feel. Below is comparing my two pregnancies to give you an idea of just how different things can be. Both children are girls so gender didn't make a difference.

    Pregnancy #1 - hated lemonade (only thing I drink besides water) for the 1st trimester, but once the second trimester came I liked it again; hated eggs for like about 1-2 weeks but otherwise no smells or food made sick; had really bad heartburn near the end that caused me to vomit, but otherwise no vomiting or problems. Gained about 30 lbs.

    Pregnancy #2 - hated almost every food and smell so my diet was extremely limited; I could barely keep anything down including water. I was constantly vomiting and even went to the bathroom in my pants once due to not making it to the bathroom in time; Really bad heartburn throughout my pregnancy; Gained only 15 lbs due to not being able to eat and keep anything down.

    Personally, if a big wedding is important to you I'd go with the earlier date. Once a baby is in the picture the idea of hosting a big affair may not feel like as much of a priority to you, physically, financially or emotionally. My entire focus was on the baby's needs and future at that point.
