I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant with my first and my sister’s wedding is just 2 weeks after my due date. I’m already prepared for the fact that I might not be able to go if baby is late but had been hoping that maybe if she’s a little early or on time (or near enough) it shouldn’t be a problem. Today my husband has said he doesn’t think its a good idea we take her at all, depending when she’s born of course but really we do know she’s likely to be very young and he’s said today that he just feels worried that she’ll be too young to be exposed to so many people with all their germs in one place. I said of course we wouldn’t let just anyone and everyone touch her or pick her up but even so, he’s worried. I’m extremely close to my sister and the idea of not going to her wedding really upsets me but to be completely honest; I’d been so focused on ‘if I can get there, of course I’ll be there’ rather than really thinking about whether or not a newborn should be at such a large gathering in the first place. The wedding is also on the other side of the country which adds to the difficulty. My husband suggested perhaps if we do go, he could stay at a hotel with baby all day whilst I go to the wedding so at least I don’t miss out but the wedding isn’t that close to any hotels and I hope to breastfeed but even if I don’t, I already know I don’t want to be separated from her for a full day or even half a day that soon. I know we can’t ultimately make any decision until she’s actually here and we know how old she’ll be but I hadn’t really even thought about it before like this so now hearing my husband say he’s worried about it makes me feel I’ve massively overlooked this and would be really interested to know what other parents think about how soon is too soon to let a baby go to a big wedding? Thank you.
