Married 2 hours after giving birth - she HAS to be a MN!

Reckong I would have needed a 23tog duvet in my knickers to cope with a waddle walk down the aisle.

From the photos it looks as if she was wearing a traditional dress so I guess she could have had a 23tog duvet hidden under there for all we know !

One case where a meringue style dress is acceptable

I definitely couldn't have done that - I was being sewn up in theatre 2 hours after DS was born, with my legs very much akimbo.

Possibly could have done with DD from a not being sewn up point of view. Was also on an adrenaline high .

How awful....a woman is meant to feel gorgeous and lovely and beautyful....hardly possible 2 hours after having given Birth...
yeah, they are in the army, but they are young, and tbh....I think it was a daft idea to arrange the wedding so soon after Duedate (and by that I meant the date the Baby didn't come...)...
but, it takes all sorts I suppose...I just hope they don't look back to this day with regrett of not being able to enjoy neither major life changing event properly....

My mother would be scandalised that the baby arrived before the wedding !

"The couple are both drivers in the Army and they decided at the last minute to arrange the wedding to coincide with the same two-week period of leave that Mr Black, 21, had taken from a tour of duty in Afghanistan for the birth."

oh, but OP? why teh assumption that woman has to be a mn'er? I mean, people do exist without ever having layed eyes on mumsnet, you know

Do they really? - do they live under rocks?

probably...but that is neither here nor there

Erm - I'm the OP - when I read story I just thought along the lines of what a 'no nonsense, lets not make a fuss and get on with it type of Mum - and thats my stereotypical MNer - thats all. Wasn't meant to be judgey post - honest! And I'm not suggesting that people from the 'site that shall not be named' (NetMums) wouldn't be up for a stagger down the aisle after popping a baby out either!

My cousin did this, more or less - her 7th child (and first with new partner - her DH1 buggered off after first 6). Baby arrived morning of their wedding day, early, as I recall. I saw her walk up the aisle with one of her older DDs carrying the baby.
