Wedding in September - Just found out I’m pregnant 😱

[Disco91]

So I’m supposed to be getting married in September and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. I’m around 5 weeks pregnant so I’ll be 7 months pregnant on the big day (if all goes well).

I have a lot of thoughts now:
Do I delay the wedding until after baby, bring the wedding forward to possibly June or just roll with it and keep the same date?!

On another note, when do I tell people? I’m concious miscarriages occur so I don’t want to rearrange everything immediately just incase everything changes in a month. I also don’t want to tell my parents and upset them unnecessarily. I’m 27 but they will be so upset that I have ruined the ‘perfect’ wedding that they & I have planned. They are traditional and I know they are very excited for this wedding.

All I have ever wanted is to be a mum so I’m not phased by the actual pregnancy.

My fiancé is laid back and is happy as we both can’t wait to be parents - he says keep the date and just be a very pregnant bride but I don’t think I want that ....

Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Congratulations! Can you bring the wedding forward? (That's what I did!)

My friend was a very pregnant bride and still did lots of dancing etc.

You get pregnancy photos and wedding photos in a oner. I understand that it spoils " the dream wedding" but actually in the whole scheme of things having a baby is bloody wonderful.

Timing telling people is tricky. If you want to move the date forward I'm sure someone will be speculating....

Keep your wedding when it is.

I can’t see how moving it forward would change things from your parents’ point of view. Either way you will be pregnant when you get married and you will have a baby less than 9 months after your wedding day.

Worse things happen.

No need to tell people early or change the date. Just start shopping for a maternity wedding dress.

Congratulations on your engagement and your pregnancy.

Congratulations. If it was me I’d bring it forward to maybe when you are 4/5 months pregnant. That’s if it wouldn’t be too much stress moving it and I’d everyone involved could do that. After may be hard as you’ll be tired for long time and your baby will be very little. I was pretty tired at 7 months pregnant because I was quite big. That’s the only reason why I think the second trimester would be better because you are likely to feel better then. That said there’s not much different in 5-7 months and you’d get lovely pregnancy photos too if you did it at 7 months. Totally up to you. I wish we’d done it when I’d first found out I was pregnant.

As others have said, bring it forward and make it a simpler do?

Another option if it’s important to you to be married before the baby I’d get married now just the two of you or with just immediate family and then when you are up to it when Baby is sleeping etc have a wedding blessing and party with your friends. A friend of ours did that. It’s your day. You have to enjoy it.

It's up to the individual person. I'd bring it forward a few months. Or you could just get married in a very quiet way and then have a party for everyone in say a year from now.

Id just keep it as it is. 7m is so late in the pragnancy that you will feel encumbered by the bump and tiredness etc.
