After 4 years of treatment for a pretty awful illness I have been given the all clear and the ok to start our long awaited family. DH and I would love to get pregnant asap as my biological clock is ticking quite loudly but I have a major event in April 2015 which will be the peak of my career and the culmination of lots of hard work. In short, I need to be there and I need to try to be on good form. My question is, is there a point during pregnancy when women generally feel ok to go to an event and enjoy it? I have had a mixed response from friends and family and the general consensus seems to be that anywhere in the second trimester would probably be best. Any advice would be welcome and please be kind. I am aware that it may take weeks, months or even years to get pregnant if we are blessed with a dc. I know that no two pregnancies are the same and at any time I could feel great or terrible. I am also aware that I am trying to balance two things- work and life. Please understand that I am just trying to work out a best case scenario that can give me the best chance of fulfilling two long awaited dreams. Thank you for your help.
