Newborn at wedding

I have recently found out that I'm pregnant unexpectedly, it's a big shock as I am on the pill and haven't noticed any symptoms and I'm already over 2 months pregnant! I always expected it would take a while as I have PCOS but we're delighted. The due date is in Jan and we are due to get married in Portugal in April next year. I would love some MN wisdom is it daft to get married with a 3 month old new born? We have the option to push it back, I think the hotel for the wedding has some dates later in the summer or 2026. Is there a baby age that is the easiest?

I think that April will be okay. You'll have had time to recover, it won't be too hot, and small babies can be easier than older ones.
And congratulations!

My babies would both have been fine at a wedding at that point (but I know it’s not the case for everyone).

You would have to get your skates on to get a passport for them though. It’s doable (I took a 7 week old abroad), but you’d be stuffed if there were any delays with registering the birth or queries from the passport office.

Can you bring the wedding forward and have a shotgun wedding.
Could be a lot more fun though you won't be drinking.

It all depends are your birth, recovery and baby. My baby was born two weeks last and I will in hospital until she was nearly 2 weeks, recovering from major surgery and spesis with a baby with undiagnosed allergies. For me it would have been hell on earth.

They will be 3 minth old, a small baby, definitely not newborn.
It depends unfortunately on the baby, you could have a placid, relaxed baby or you could have a high needs baby. However it's probably also the easiest age to get Marr with. They don't do much, they stay in one place and will probably sleep alot!

Taken to account what age the baby will be and the heat over there as well I'd probably go ahead in April if it were me .
