Is anyone getting married, whilst they are pregnant?

Question

If so are you happy about it and how far along? Did you wish you waited until the baby was born?

Answer 1

I have a friend who was engaged and planning a wedding, then found out she was pregnant. She was really disappointed with the wedding. She didn't get to wear the dress she wanted because of her bump, and felt fat and bloated and hates her wedding photos (even though she looks absolutely gorgeous).

Planning a wedding has so much pressure, which will be heightened when you're going through a pregnancy. Remember you will be battling hormone changes (mood swings), sickness and weight gain.

For a more informal wedding that doesn't require a great deal of planning and you feel you'd be comfortable looking pregnant in your photos, then go for it!

I know if it were me I'd choose to postpone the wedding until I'd given birth. I think I'd like to focus entirely on the pregnancy and not combine two of life's biggest events at the one time.

But it is totally dependent on what you want!

Answer 2

Yes, it is better if already pregnant coz you are sure you have one.

Answer 3

Actually my sister-n-law & brotherr had been together for years and just so happen she got pregnant while they were planning the wedding! The moved the date up so she could squeeze into her dress & made sure the pastor would still marry them based on the unknown pregnancy! however the wedding was beautiful & the honeymoon went from a high activity vacation to a night i n a hotel. The rumors started the only reason the got married was bc she was prego. That wasnt the case at all!! my advise is if your ready to get married but, a honeymoon & beer st your reception is something you want get married at the Justice of the peace & plan a wedding for your one year annv that allows you to have any option open...

Good Luck!

I got married a few weeks ago and our baby was nearly 7 months old at that time.  It was lovely to have him at our wedding and he was an absolute angel.  However, I'm still breast feeding and my dress became quite uncomfortable even though I expressed.  This is a difficult one because you may be feeling tired and unwell and therefore you might not feel like planning a wedding.  It also depends how much you want to drink on your wedding day - the odd glass should be fine but you don't want to have too much. Also depends what type of dress you want to wear, (will your bump be showing)?  Basically a lot depends on the kind of wedding you want.  Good luck!

Answer 5

Frankly, I wish I were.  If I did, my style of dress would work out for it anyway.

Answer 6

Personally I know that a lot of times if you get married while pregnant people ASSUME that you are only getting married because you are pregnant. Clearly that is not always the case. People just incorrectly assume that, and they make themselves look ignorant in the process.

My sister got married while she was pregnant. She was eight months pregnant on her wedding day. However her and her now husband were already living together and were actively trying to have a child. It wasn't unexpected or anything. Thats just the way they chose to do things. They knew they wanted to get married before getting pregnant, though.

My cousin was also pregnant when she got married. However her and her now husband were only eighteen at the time. They were one of those couples who really did only get married because she was pregnant. They had no prior intentions on getting married. Now they have a tumultuous marriage, and it looks like it may end in divorce.

I think that you should get married based on love, not on pregnancy. However, if its because of love, and you just happen to be pregnant, then thats your choice too. My husband and I decided to get married before attempting to have children. So I was not pregnant or trying to get pregnant when I got married. Out of all my family members, myself, and my two other female cousins, got married before we got pregnant. Just the way we wanted it!

Personally I would wait. Giving birth and getting married are two very important things. I would want to be able to focus on one at a time. Nowadays there is nothing wrong with having children before marriage, but I just think they each deserve individual attention. Also, I love my wedding pictures, and I just don't think they would be as beautiful if I had a gigantic belly! If we had mistakenly gotten pregnant before the wedding (because we weren't trying to), I would have post poned the wedding. Just me!
