Wedding June 2019. Baby due June 2019

Advice wanted please!!
We’ve booked our wedding for June, and have now found out I’m pregnant due June! We obviously need to move the wedding date, but I’m reluctant to do that before the 12 wk scan (we’ve already told people the date). We’re really torn whether to move the wedding to Feb/March when I won’t be too big, and it’ll just be about us two or wait until after baby arrives. My h2b is keen we get married in 2020 so at best the baby would only be 6 months old. The advantage of delaying till afterwards means I can get my figure back (maybe/hopefully!) and have a few drinks, but I’m not sure if looking after a newborn and breastfeeding would mean that it still isn’t that much fun! We do have plenty of family who can help but still I’m sure a newborn will just want it’s mummy!!

Feeling like I’m being really selfish and vain as it is a happy dilemma to have, but I am having to come to terms with potentially not having quite as much fun on my wedding day, either because I’m sober 😂 or have a baby!!
Any advice/thoughts welcome! Thank you xx

I'd get married Feb. Don't think I'd have enjoyed my wedding day with a little one to think about especially if young baby. It will be much more relaxing to focus just on yourself. Congratulations btw!

I'd be inclined to wait until the baby is here, but that's because I had a complicated pregnancy and was on bed rest. I also didn't feel very attractive when pregnant so would have preferred to not have wedding photos taken then. Just my opinion though.

SIL got married at 7 months pregnant and she was very stressed about the dress not fitting

I would do it before baby was here if it was me. I cant imagine wanting to get married when sleep deprived with a breast feeding baby. I wouldn't have managed to concentrate on the day and not on the baby at all, and think it would be a lot of pressure if you wanted your figure back. Everyone is different though and will give you different answers, my dd was stuck to me constantly whereas the next poster might have the opposite view because they had a very laid back baby!

We're in 2019 now. The old baby brain has kicked in quickly 😂 good luck and enjoy, whatever you decide!

If I were you I would have a small private registry office wedding in the new year then a proper wedding in 2021

I'd get married before.
Because you'll have less money after baby arrives or be less inclined to spend it on a wedding
You'll have the baby to consider
You'll be tired
Too much pressure to get your figure back

Thanks everyone! This is all really useful advice. Some big decisions ahead! We’re very lucky xx
