5 weeks pregnant at own wedding

[Cheshirefarmgirl]

Hi I am getting married on Saturday and I’m fairly certain I’m pregnant but we have decided to wait to test until after the wedding!
Any tips to avoid drinking? Would it be ok to sip champagne for the toast?
thanks in advance!

Don't say anything, at the appropriate times have a glass of champagne to hand and have a small/non sip when toasting. The rest of the day have a soft drink. If anyone does comment say you are taking it steady as you want a clear head to remember everything.

do a test! If you’re not pregnant you can drink to your hearts content.

Take a test for your own peace of mind one way or the other. You want to enjoy the day not have your mind racing. Once you have all the information, you can then make a plan. Personally I would stick to soft drinks if you are pregnant even for the toast. Elderflower presse in a champagne flute perhaps?

But if you are pregnant, just ask the bar staff to discreetly fill your champagne glass with lemonade

Do the test!

No one will be able to tell the difference from looking at your glass whether you have a tall glass with G&T in it or sparkling water with a lemon in it. Have champagne for the toast but just let it slosh your lips or have the teeniest, tiniest sip. The idea about telling people that you want to keep a clear head for the wedding is great as well.

I found out I was pregnant 3 days before my wedding, so I was 4 weeks. I told my parents, parents in-law and bridesmaids and got my bridesmaid to get me a couple of glasses of alcohol free wine and I poured it into a champagne flute for post wedding drink and for with food. It was warm while dancing so I was happy to just have water and meant I remembered the whole day. Although I still felt kind of hungover the next day, tired, dehydrated and sore voice from talking and singing!

Just do a test? No way I could enjoy my day with that uncertainty.

I was a bridesmaid at a wedding last year at about 6 weeks pregnant (IVF pregnancy so obviously knew right from the start). I just carried the same glass of champagne around all day and nobody noticed (and a sip with the toast is very unlikely to do any harm anyway!).

I kind of like the idea of waiting until Sunday and then finding out for our start of married life! I guess it’s just a romantic sort of idea 😂

How exciting OP, I think it's nice to test on Sunday morning (as long as you let us know!)

I don't think anybody will particularly notice you're not drinking, you can just put your mouth to the glass for the toast, you can even walk around with a drink but not drink it, nobody will be monitoring you.

Good luck, have a lovely day!

I understand why you find it romantic to only find out on Sunday however it would be a shame to waste your energy on your wedding day behaving like you are pregnant and then you are not. Wouldn't you much rather know now so you can then concentrate on celebrating and enjoying your wedding day to the fullest living in that moment.
