34 weeks pregnant and wedding

My husband and I have been invited to a wedding and the time of wedding I'll be 34 weeks. I'm double vaccinated but obviously there are still risks and I'm very unsure of what to do. He's my husband friend who I've only met a handful of time so it not like I'd be missed. I'm happy my husband to go regardless of whether I do or not. Just wondered what other people would do?

Depends on the size and if it's indoors or outdoors. Personally I wouldn't go if I wouldn't be missed but I'm 36 weeks and can't think of anything worse than attending a wedding (but I'm also not the most sociable lol).

My husband and I have agreed that from 37 weeks we won't attend any gatherings as I don't want to undergo a c-section alone and/or out my parents at risk who will be looking after my eldest.

It's indoors in a hotel. Not entirely sure on numbers. I think I'm probably wanting people to say I'm not being horrible or over careful by not wanting to go. Even if covid wasn't around being around a room full of drunk people that far on in pregnancy isn't enjoyable ha

I think that's perfectly sensible. I've declined a similarly arranged wedding for late November when I'll be 29 weeks, for the same reasons as you. Also fully vaccinated (awaiting booster), but not prepared to take unnecessary risks as I have underlying issues during pregnancy.

I'm 29 weeks and this weekend DH is at a wedding 400 miles away. I only know the bride, it's for the whole weekend and I don't know who we'd find who could look after DS for that long. So I have happily stayed at home.

Personally i wouldn't go.
I'm 22 weeks now and i cant imagine I'd fancy making polite chit chat with drunk strangers it at 30+ weeks

I was at one last night at 35 weeks pregnant. Was indoors hotel wedding with 200 people. I really enjoyed it. Was nice to dance again, although by 2am my feet were well ready for a rest and out of the heels. I’m planning on keeping a low profile from 38 weeks

Im 35 weeks pregnant and if Im honest, I dont think I would be up for a wedding now!
I went to a number of large gatherings, weddings and gigs before 30 weeks but now Ive decided to keep a low profile should baby decide to come early. Neither of us want to risk covid and DH not being able to be at the hospital with me.
If you dont know the people that well, politely decline but let your partner go if he wants to. Have a nice chilled evening to yourself!

Thanks everyone. Think I'm going to opt out. My husband can go and I'll have a night with my daughter. Best to be safer

I went to one at 32 weeks. I was quite nervous about it as obviously around loads of people. DH and I wore masks during ceremony but we were the only ones out of hundreds! It felt like the biggest risk I'd taken. To be honest I was almost expecting to catch it. We didn't thankfully. We tried to keep distance when chatting to people and didn't join in dancing etc.
I'm 37 weeks now and apart from taking my eldest to a birthday party this weekend, that's now the end of my indoor socialising!
