Hey!
Looking fot some advice - my partner is best man at his close friends wedding this year. The wedding is one of those weekend long events and he is expected to stay Fri- Monday. I have kindly been invited to stay at the accommodation for this time period too.
Thing is - I've only gone and got pregnant and now my second child is due around 8 weeks before the wedding.
My mum has already signed up to watch both the kids for 2 night - night before and night of. But realistically - I'm not sure I'll cope leaving my baby for this time ! I exclusively breastfed my first and loved it - but i didn't really spend any time away from him for the first 5 months or so.
I have no idea how birth is going to go , if feeding will be successful again or how my hormones will be by 8 weeks PP.
I am getting anxious about not taking advantage of the bride and I don't want to pull out last minute- but realistically I can't see me staying two nights - even one would be a push.
It seems it's a bit of a non- negotiable that my partner goes for the full three nights however as he is expected to help with best man stuff.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and it's worked out okay ? The wedding venue is around an hours drive to my parents so if needed I could do a bit of pumping while there and drop it off at somepoint. Am I actually gonna be up for any of this though 😂😫
Couple have never mentioned bringing baby - this would really be my preferred option but I don't feel close enough to the bride to ask... may ask to take him for the night before even? Is this cheeky? Should I just pull out now and save everyone the hassle? I'll have serious FOMO that my partner gets to have all that fun and I don't but guess it's not really about me 😂😫
