I have been invited to a wedding - two of our (mine and DH's) very best friends from uni are getting married.
The trouble is, the wedding is one week before my due date... and its in Cornwall (I live in London).
I am planning on rsvp-ing with a yes, but playing by ear nearer the time.
I am, to be honest, not that concerned if I am still pregnant by then. I would take my notes and hopsital bag. My parents live in Exeter, Devon, which is about an hour's drive from the wedding and which has a great hospital. I think I would be happy to have the baby there in an emergency. As its my first, I am likely to get at least an hour's warning that the baby is on its way, right?!
If I am still pregnant, slightly worried about having nothing to wear though..! I think that I may have outgrown all my "nice" maternity clothes by then, but I guess I'll manage!
BUT, I suspect the baby may arrive at about 2 weeks early... All the women in my family have had their babies early (between 3 weeks and a few days) and I just have this feeling...
How unrealistic would it be to go with a newborn of, say, a few days old? I coudn't, could I? I will be bleeding and I guess still feeling rough and won't know what I'm doing re breastfeeding etc. What do you think?
Oh well - I guess I'll just see what happens!
