Pregnant and under pressure to attend a wedding next week - AIBU?

[knopeout]

I would obviously love to go in normal circumstances but I don’t see how I can now (it would go directly against the advice). I’m being put under a lot of pressure to go - been told how there’s another pregnant woman who is happily attending etc. Heartbroken I can’t go but also heartbroken b&g don’t seem to understand where I’m coming from.

It's one day. And not your wedding. Protect yourself and your baby. Always. Please don't go. This virus isn't a joke.

Can’t believe they haven’t cancelled the wedding tbh. Most have.

And whoever is putting you under pressure is a fuck wit.

Seriously?! They are so out of order to be putting pressure on you about this. Pregnant women have literally been told to self isolate and minimise any unnecessary contact. This is about minimising the risks to you and your unborn child- if they can't accept that then they are completely unreasonable. The health of you and your baby outweighs their wedding/party.

No-one should be attending this wedding. Yes, it's harsh, but these measures are to save lives. In your shoes, I woukd absolutely not go. You are at high risk for needing to go on a ventilator if you get CV. Your partner should not go either as he will risk passing the virus to you.

And whoever is putting you under pressure is a fuck wit.

This. Don't engage with them. If they blame you for not going, you are better off without them in your life tbh.

I wonder if they will be forced to cancel anyway. Where I live that wedding wouldn't be going on because of the physical separation rules in place.

Your baby is more important than the wedding, YANBU.

Don’t go.

They may not understand as people are funny about weddings sometimes. I had to cancel going to a wedding a few years ago as my newborn was in NICU critically ill (he is fine now) and the bride made such a fuss about how I wasn’t thinking of her or our friendship. She thought a few hours away would ‘cheer me up.’ We aren’t friends anymore.

Thank you so much everyone. I won’t be going but got myself so worked up this evening and was worried I was being unreasonable/over cautious. Baby absolutely comes first and is my top priority!

This is awful. People can completely lose their heads over weddings. So pleased to hear your son is fine now!
