…to be 7 months pregnant at my own destination wedding?

I've found a thread on trip advisor asking about CFAR and apparently it's not available in the UK. So how posters expect the guests to claim off their CFAR policies is anyone's guess.

I'm very interested in the cancel for any reason travel insurance. I've genuinely never seen it come up as an option and I often go away for a kind of hobby that gets cancelled last min and I lose out. Could someone who knows more about this post either a link or a company that offers it? When I Google i get American companies and information coming up only.
I spent ages reading through 2 sites about it then realised they were both about America. If I add UK to the search I just get the same sites.

Echoing previous posters, you definitely should not terminate this pregnancy. None of these reasons are the end of the world and you would regret it massively. These thing happen and it'll be OK. I say this currently playing with my 11 month old surprise third. He's perfect.

Or rearrange the wedding?

Personally I would terminate, it's very early and not right for your life right now. But do whatever you think is right for you.

'There are a lot of people saying guests can claim on insurance, I can't see how? I've not seen any insurance providers that cover guests if the wedding gets cancelled.'

Cancel for any reason is an add on widely available. Yes obviously adds to the expense but with a wedding abroad it is surely worth it.
Fwiw insurance should always be bought at time of booking not the time of travel so then you are indeed covered for unexpected situations.

Situations like this should make us all think before agreeing to attend a wedding abroad. Why not just rearrange get married here and go to Greece on your honeymoon?

If you are allowed to travel go for it! Don’t cancel and have a wonderful wedding. Get a loose flowing dress and you can show DC3 that they were at your wedding.

You can terminate a pregnancy for any reason you like, you do not have to justify it, or feel guilty, it’s your body and your choice.

If the timing is not convenient, that’s fine. It’s a personal and private decison and you do not need to tell anyone else, or listen to anyone else’s opinions.

i know people get preachy around abortion…and just because they wouldn’t do it for X, Y or Z reason, does not mean the same applies to you. We have fought (and are still fighting!) hard, for female bodily autonomy.

On a thread like this people are always going to start overlaying thier religious and social beliefs. It astounds them that not every woman who has an Abortion feels guilty, and walk round ringing a bell shouting “shame”, plenty just pick up their lives and carry on.

If you are going to terminate, do it sooner rather than later.

32 weeks? I'd crack on. I think it would really play on your mind if you terminate a child for fear of inconveniencing other people. Worst case and you have to cancel they can all still go and enjoy the holiday, and you can have a simpler affair back at home.

Why would you cancel the wedding? Do you have complications? You can still fly so long as people know things might change last minute is something arises. Tell you guests to get good travel insurance to cover cancellation if they decide not to go.

Cancel the wedding - tell everyone sooner rather than later!

As someone that was on the receiving end of this I agree with @Viviennemary. Years ago I was going to be bridesmaid for my cousin at a destination wedding. Timing was poor for us, the wedding was in the September I was starting my GCSEs, I was never taken out of school for holidays so this was a really big thing for my mom and dad to choose to do. It was an expensive destination and not somewhere we wouldn't have gone on a family holiday. A year before my cousin got pregnant, baby was due in the March before the September but wedding was cancelled. My parents ended up paying even more for the holiday to change dates to August so I didn't miss any school. There was no acknowledgment from my cousin or any of the family that it had messed people around. We weren't the only ones by a long shot.

There are a lot of people saying guests can claim on insurance, I can't see how? I've not seen any insurance providers that cover guests if the wedding gets cancelled.

Your guests could still go, even if you cancel the wedding and have a holiday.
I suppose some will be fine with that.

Others won't be because they might feel that they have had to take their annual holiday at a time and place of your choosing. Fine if it was tied to the
wedding, not so fine if it just turns into a holiday that someone else has chosen for them.

Could you take out a loan and reimburse those who were happy to go to Greece for your wedding but not so happy to go for a bog standard holiday?

I'd carry on the with pregnancy as you never know what the future might hold with regards to trying again.
However if you do decide to cancel the wedding just be prepared that people may not book again. If I was to lose loads of money on a destination wedding I wouldn't be booking again no matter what unfortunately. Cheap one in the UK maybe. But I wouldn't book to go abroad again sadly.
All those people saying they could have a holiday regardless. Well i couldn't think of anything worse than a probable hot, beachy, boring holiday in Greece. I would never book that by choice. So I would just not go and would lose the money. No way would insurance pay out because someone else not in my holiday party was pregnant. So I wouldn't be booking another destination wedding after that no. And I'd still think twice about a UK one if it still involved lots of annual leave, travel and hotels etc.

Check with your airline they will allow you to fly.

I travelled at 26 weeks and the airline were difficult on return at 27 weeks and almost didn't let me board (Turkey but with TUI) lucky i had my medical notes and a midwife letter confirming I was fit to fly and a manager allowed me to check-in. Had to go through it all again with the staff at the gate. Really stressful.

Which part of Greece? Is your travel insurance good for pregnancy?

I ask which part of Greece (I lived there for several years) because if you have a medical emergency, you might need to be transferred to a city with a good hospital. This could take time. Be careful you aren't taking risks with baby's and your health.

Why would you even say this.

I couldn't terminate in your position. I appreciate the timing isn't ideal, but you want another child and the rest is manageable. What if you terminate and then have issues getting pregnant later on? This happened to my friend and she's really traumatised. It never occurred to her she'd struggle to conceive again as she'd conceived easily in the past.

How many weeks will you be? Are your pregnancies usually okay? I flew long haul at 32 weeks, returning at 34 weeks and it was fine. Getting a note from the midwife was easy but no-one asked to see it.

Excellent idea.

Oops congratulations - if it were me I’d crack on - you’ll need a plan for a new dress .

What age is early 30's? Contrary to on here a lot of women will struggle to have a live birth 35+. If you definitely want a third, I'd continue with the pregnancy. It's a full sibling that you are aborting and even if you do have another, it could hit you and have an inpact on you all. I've known that to happen. If you didn't want a third, I'd say explore ending the pregnancy.

Well I doubt that the dress will be wearable, but surely you could sail or even drive/ferry to the destination if flying is out?

For someone else being pregnant? Doubtful. Weddings month away as well, cancellation insurance may not yet have been purchased by all.

How many people have booked to travel to your wedding?

The reason I ask is because their insurance won't cover them cancelling for this reason. However, if we aren't talking about too many people, could you not offer to refund their deposits yourselves from the money you will be saving by cancelling and perhaps having a much cheaper, earlier wedding in the UK?

Not ideal, I know, but worth considering.

@Onlyvisiting

Well there's no reason they can't still go snd have their holiday is there?

That's very presumptuous.

It's quite possible they would never want to go to the destination if it wasn't for OP's wedding.
