My mum gets married later this year, when I full be full term pregnant.
The plan is to attend unless I have just given birth or I'm in labour. This has always been the plan, I would hate to miss my mum's wedding. The birth of my eldest DD was very traumatising, and I also have a lot of anxiety about this pregnancy due to previous losses. This has made me consider an elective section, but I've also realised if I do that I won't get to be at my mum's wedding. Therefore I'm hoping to go natural and have a better experience this time so I can still be there for.my mum's special day. To note - I have only discussed considering a section with my husband, not with my mum.
My mum has three kids and knows there is a possibility I won't be there. I've also said I'm bargain hunting for something wear to the wedding incase I never end up wearing it. But the other day she made a comment about me not being there because "you might just wake up that day and feel too tired".
I'm not really sure if I'm being overly sensitive, but I feel a little offended she would think I just wouldn't bother turning up. I'm well aware of how tiring the end of the third trimester is, but as I've said this is my mum's wedding and I'll try my damn best to be there.
We have an ok relationship, but as a teen it felt she tried to compete with me a lot. She's also made comments before about how I will take all the attention from her on her wedding day because people will fuss over me. I honestly am dreading the fuss, I really don't want it at all and I think I'll spend my day biting my tongue every time an aunt tells me how huge I am. But both of these comments are making me feel like my mum is hoping deep down I won't make it to the wedding...
