Summer weddings at 33 & 34 weeks

We've been invited to two weddings in January when I'll be 33/34 weeks.

Anyone been to weddings at that stage? Was it enjoyable, tiring, worth it? How was flying? We'd be flying from AKL to Wgtn and Queenstown.

I'd love to go, but if I'm going to be hot and huge I'd like to give the bride & groom as much notice as possible so they can invite someone else.

Thanks

The closest I've been was 6mos (27-ish weeks) with #3 and it was in October... We were invited to the wedding and 'dance' (after reception) and I felt really uncomfortable and that I'd have to wear a skirt that didn't look like a tent etc etc. Well anyway I found a skirt to borrow and went along and had a great time! And there were heaps of women wearing pants anyhow LOL. I say go for it, just check the flying thing with your mw but you won't be able to do that until closer to the time.

By the way congrats nzpiper, thomas looks cute - any bigger pictures!?

so long as your mw clears you to fly at that stage it should be fine. i went to a wedding in october a couple of weeks before my due date. it was a bit tiring, esp since all people wanted to talk to me about was the baby... but i also went to a dinner/dance when i was quite pregnant and really had fun then. dancing while pregnant was cool.

I flew to Auckland for a concert at 28w and am planning a weekend away with friends at 35w. I'm 32w now and would have no concerns about going to weddings at 33-34w, but I guess everyone is different.

You could lurk into the due in October thread and ask those girls if they would be up to flying to weddings at the moment?

I will be going to one wedding at 36 weeks (travel in car for 3 hours) and another 10 days before my due date.

As long as you are feeling good, I don't see why you wouldn't.

Buy a nice dress and go out and feel good for a night!

Yep i went to a funeral for my girls great great grandmother about 2 weeks before i had Ayja, we travelled all day and I was terribly uncomfy even with my styley preggy jeans on.. I must say, a dress would probably make you a little more comfy, help you keep cool in the january heat and would also mean that you won't have pants digging in to you in all sorts of uncomfy places when you are sitting or standing etc. I would definately make sure that you are able to get a seat as well.. standing through a ceremony (which sometimes happens) would NOT be a good idea.

I was Matron of Honour for one of my best friends at 7.5 months pregnant with Josiah. If you are prepared, then you'll be fine!

Make sure that whatever you wear is comfortable, that there is a seat available for you, and that you know where the bathrooms are!
