Just got BFP and wedding date in 6 months- what to do?

Hi all,

I am completely amazed to have just got a bfp after nearly 3 years of trying and two failed ivf cycles. We were just weeks away from starting another ivf cycle.

Feeling amazed but also scared given it’s not been easy to get here and very early days yet.

The big question is that we have now planned our wedding which is in 6 months time, have told our family and close friends the date and this week we’re just about to send out the wedding invites. Now wondering what to do about the wedding date- keep going with the wedding plans for 6 months time as it’s very early days for the pregnancy, or try to bring the wedding date forward by a few months? I’m not keen to move it back to next really really.

One final consideration is that a very close family member is very ill and we obviously want them to be at the wedding.

Thoughts welcome, what would you do? If anyone got married at 7 months pregnant, was it ok in terms of how you felt and were you comfortable with how you looked on your big day?

Thank you!

I would keep my wedding date and be a radiant pregnant bride!

Tiffany Rose has some beautiful maternity wedding dresses.

Congratulations!

Personally I would bring it forward if it's an option 😁 just when you said about the poorly relative as well. But you will also still look a beautiful bride in 6 months. Would there be a lot of extra expense to move it forward? x. Congratulations.... love a happy story 😁😁 xx

I got married at 28 weeks pregnant! Due to covid we'd have to move our date twice and we weren't going to again. It was honestly fine, I fit into my original dress and you couldn't even tell I was pregnant in the pictures. I felt a bit sicky on the day but I had done all pregnancy and couldn't drink which meant I remember the whole day and all the daft things our guests did.

It also felt extra special feeling him kick while we said our vows. I'd keep it where it is tbh, I was so unwell all pregnancy I wouldn't have wanted to get married sooner as I was still throwing up 20 times a day!

I’m getting married at 8 months pregnant in June! Have bought a new dress from Tiffany Rose as somebody above mentioned.
I did also bring the wedding forwards one month (9 months pregnant was just too risky!) and just to say that was much easier than I was expecting, everybody was still available and no costs to move. Although that will be completely dependent on individual suppliers.
Congratulations, and best of luck! x

Get married. Everyone will be doubly excited for you both knowing you’re pregnant!

Congratulations! I am in the same boat 🥰 got my BFP 3 weeks ago and getting married in August. Haven’t told family and friends yet.. very nervous for their reactions!! X
