Not sure if this is a topic for this board or general family related but I just need to get it out as I'm feeling a bit sad.
I'm due first week in may, but we have been invited to big wedding first week in April. It's more than a wedding as this side of the family live overseas and so the chance to meet up are limited. They are very good hosts and there will be celebrations planed for the days pre and post wedding. We booked the hotel a year in advance and had made initial travel plans. My inlaws have key roles in the wedding party and everyone was excited.
My first baby was born very early, so there is a good chance I will deliver early again, and even if don't then I won't be able to travel because it will be so close to my edd and I'm am high risk.
I had a mmc earlier this year year and if I'd gone full term I would have had 5 month old baby to take with me, but instead I'll be missing out. I'm not sure I even want my husband to attend by himself because of all the issues I previously stated.
I am of course thankful that we have this new baby to look forward to and life can't stop, nor would I have wanted to say delay ttc to avoid this time especially after my mc but...
We've just gone public with our news and I'm expecting that it will soon reach the extended side of the family.
I realise that this is my issue and it won't affect the bride and groom, or my inlaws. The wedding will still happen, but I'm sad we won't be a part of it and our son won't experience this big family event
