Wedding - while pregnant or wait??

I found out I was pregnant the week after my hens night!! Was about 10-12 weeks at the wedding.

Because it was so close I already had my dress, although I had to get it let out a good inch all round to fit, and couldn't wear the corset I had bought specially.

The wedding was right when i had my worst morning sickness but I found that it didn't really matter - my mum and bridesmaids were aware of it so made sure that i had snacks available all day and in the end i didn't feel any nausea - maybe the excitement overwhelmed the ms? (it returned the next day though doh)

I had big plans to pour some sparkling grape juice into a real champagne bottle that was specially for me, but in the end i just drank water out of a champagne flute all day - it was so hot no-one thought it was really strange and I only got one or two comments about the fact I wasn't drinking.

I was really tired that night but all in all it was a fab day and I don't regret at all that I was pg for it. If it was me, 2 years would be too long to wait!!

We got married when I was 16/18 weeks, didn't want to get married with a 6 week old bub so brought our wedding forward, luckily I'm not one to show that much by then.

Only thing that bothered me was I didn't drink anything except OJ

We also brought it forward as we knew it would have been forgotten about if we waited or delayed the wedding.

I was 7 1/2 months pregnant when I got married - we got pregnant intentionally while we were engaged because we didn't want to wait due to our ages (late 30s). It was a fantastic day and I wouldn't change a thing. At 7 1/2 months pregnant I was feeling really good - over morning sickness, but not yet suffering from 3rd trimester symptoms (they started on the honeymoon!). The pregnancy even gave us the opportunity to add some unique features to the wedding, such as a cake topper with a pregnant bride (if you go down this route order from Ebay in the States - cheaper than buying from a cake shop in NZ). The only difficult aspect was the dress (dress shops don't really cater for pregnant brides, but fortunately we had an understanding dressmaker who put up with my constant changes to the design right up until the last week). We also had difficulties deciding what to do on honeymoon as a lot of the activities we had planned (for instance quad biking) wouldn't allow pregnant women. But all in all I wouldn't change a thing, as it was such a special day and I can say that our daughter shared it with us:-)

I was about 10 weeks pregnant on our wedding day. It was kinda awesome knowing our bubba was there too ;) I had planned the pregnancy so I wouldn't be showing though! ;)
I was in the middle of morning sickness but didn't notice it at all on the day. Even on our honeymoon, it was real mild, then as soon as I got back to work, MS in full effect! Crazy that my body knew to give me a break :)
I would imagine that as a new baby sorta takes over your life, trying to have a wedding soon after the birth would get really stressful!

I was about 20 weeks I think, we had planned to save for ivf so brought the wedding day forward then got knocked up. Figured we may as well just go ahead with the day.
It was a nice day but honestly I was so tired by the night time...however this may not have been normal pregnancy feelings as my husband was REALLY ill that night (great wedding night) and I was ill a day later lol.

The dress was quite tricky and I was glad my mum was making it as I seemed to be expanding all the time hehe. I didn't care about not drinking, in fact I reckon if I did it again and was not knocked up I wouldn't drink then either or at least not much as it was quite nice to be sober.

ETA - try to choose the photos as a lot of sit down ones for you as it can be pretty tiring standing up for ages.

A friend of mine got married when she was about 30weeks or more pregnant. I think if it means a lot to you and you want to get married soon, then why not, you can work around anything and still find a beautiful dress :)

Hi, we got engaged and decided to start a family before a wedding. About a third of the way through i wanted to be married before baby came. It was amazing we got married 2 weeks before my due date, i was 9 months pregnant and we had a beautiful winter wedding in June amazing weather. I got a dress made and my dress maker made it a week before so it fit perfectly. I look at those photos and think it was a very special time.

I was just under 12w when I got married. I drank sparkling grape juice all afternoon/night - it was fine. My wedding dress was custom made (was always the plan), I was just lucky that we had enough material as I expanded somewhat rapidly. The dressmaker made my dress the night before the wedding, as at my fitting the day before she had to loosen the calico version she already had from the week before...

Everyone knew that I was pregnant anyway...couldn't really keep it quiet...
