would you get married 8 months pregnant?

[DairyfreeDiva]

Would you get married when your 8 months pregnant or wait? We were meant to get married this month but I fell pregnant not long after we became engaged. I decided to go ahead with the wedding anyway but now im having second thoughts.... I look ridiculous... im so big now. I wanted to look beautiful on my wedding day.... I want to call the whole thing off...:crying:

[Lemonhead]

I highly doubt you look ridiculous! I bet you look gorgeous!! Does your dress flatter your bump? I have seen some amazingly beautiful maternity bridal gowns :yes:.

I wouldn't get married while I was pregnant but only because I would want to drink the bubbly :D.

[3boysnpregnant]

I doubt you don't look great.

For me personally though no I wouldn't..

[Boobycino]

You'll look beautiful. :hugs:

[missie_mack]

I got married when I was 5 months pregnant and whilst I was dubious about it at the time I don't regret it now. My body has never looked as good as it did prebaby :o and I don't know if I ever would have had the wedding I did (which I really wanted) after having kids as I have more things to consider now

[3boysnpregnant]

Your right missie Mack. Iv sen people who wait and don't get back to their ideal body

[Areca]

I got married at 18 weeks pregnant with my second and I would've got married at 8 months pregnant, no question. It's nice looking back at our wedding pics and saying 'look DD2, there's you at our wedding!'
I also have zero desire to fit back in to my wedding dress too! :laughing:

[DairyfreeDiva]

Thanks ladies.... Im just having a down moment I think. I just tried on my dress again and although I am quite huge now... I think I look pretty good. Im usually flat chested but I have these fantastic boobs at the moment so I guess thats one positive. DP thinks I look beautiful and thats all that matters. I thought about delaying it when I first found out but ill have babies only 14 months apart and it would be ages until I could do it and it would be much easier organising it now with only one child, instead of 2... plus once we set a date i didnt want to have to wait another year or longer... well wish me luck...2 more days to go

[MyCheekyMonkey]

You'll look gorgeous! I got married at 8.5 months pregnant :). The only thing I didn't like was being soooo tired by the end of the night and just wanting to get out of there and go to bed, lol.

All the best :) and yay for the big boobs lol!

[FearlessLeader]

i've seen jackia's wedding photos! She looked absolutely stunning! :yes:

[mimsie]

We had friends who got married when she was 3 months pregnant (no one knew) but then she came to our wedding at about 7 months pregnant - and was the most glamorous, gorgeous woman there!!! Ohhh she looked SO good.

I think pregnant women are stunning and I'd do it :)

Plus when your bubs is older they won't give you the guilts about not being there, :laughing: My DD is so so annoyed she wasn't even in my tummy when Dh and I got married. DS was 10 months old, which according to DD is SO unfair that we should get married again purely for her benefit :)

[Izy]

Yes YES YES

There is nothing more beautiful than a healthy pregnant lady!

[RmumR]

your story is mine exactly though i will be 7mths when i get married in 4weeks.

we too had booked and planned then found out i was preg, decided to go ahead as thought it would be easier to plan with just DD rather than DD plus bub. i figured it would all be fine but at this stage if it wasn't a case of losing lots of money i would postpone but unfortunantly the money does matter so i will have to battle through it - 27wks now and hypermesis is still constant.

i hope everything goes well for you

[Angelinas_mummy]

I am also in the same position...
We few weeks ago we cancelled our Big WA wedding that was in Jan 8th next year for an elopement with very close family and best friends to Bali for the 25th April ..... then my boobs started hurting and out of the blue the preggie test came up positive.... Now we are holding a small ceremony in my mums back yard on the same day as the Baby shower as I am due on the 30th April and cannot run the risk of having a Bali baby :)
We will save the money for the following year to renew our vows on our first wedding anniversary in Bali the same way we planned... except towing along our bundle of joy.

Good luck on your wedding and regardless of whether you have it on the day you planned or on another date, it will still be beautiful but at the end of the day you need to feel comfortable with your decision in order to look back and have no regrets.....
I am 100% positive you will make the perfect desision for you, your man and your baby.

[korfire]

No I wouldn't get married 8 mths pregnant, but thats me.

[JATS]

my only concern would be the stress on the baby, weddings can get quite stressful! :o

I was hoping to be 4 months pregnant on our wedding day but that didn't happen, I think a pregnant bride is gorgeous! However I'm 7 months at the moment and can't imagine getting married this far along. Pretty tired, but then I have 2 other kids to chase around, so maybe you'll be ok!

[Lastcenturymum]

Personally? No. I would wait till after. I doubt I would enjoy myself and there would be too many 'what if's' such as going early and regretting it later such as when looking back at the photos, but it's totally between the two of you (though I'm sure plenty of family will offer 'advice' ;) )

[Laksa]

I was almost 7 months at mine :)
I think I looked good! Especially the boobs lol

[Bexta]

I got married at 12 weeks pregnant :) click (http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll210/BextaK/img065.jpg)

I'm glad it wasn't any later as there was no way I would have fitted into that size 6 dress any later! :laughing:

[MsMummy]

No. Solely because I wouldn't want to deny myself the boozy reception.:D

[sunnymummy]

We were in that situation and decided to postpone until ds was two months old. It was perfect. I had the big boobs and fit into my dress without a problem. I really didn't want a shotgun wedding. Good luck with whatever you decide.

[missie_mack]

I really didn't want a shotgun wedding.

A shotgun wedding is when one person is being forced to marry the other due to a pregnancy or children. The shotgun is for forcing the father to marry the bride, usually held by the brides family. If they didn't want to marry you before the pregnancy it doesn't matter if you get married before or after the baby arrives, it is still a 'shotgun wedding' :confused:

[meme]

wha- at you got married??

really?

Congratulations.:flowerz:

Hope you had a great day.

[Cromo]

I got married at 33 weeks pregnant.
DH and I were planning on getting married at the start of October this year (plans were made last year) but we ended up cancelling that day (even before we got pregnant with DS) and changed it to April this year. Then we decided not to go with April, changed it to July. We wanted to be married before DS came along.
Our wedding was very small and intimate (15 people) and didn't cost us a fortune, but it was still a nice day. One of the best days ever :)

I am not suggesting that OP is being forced to marry. I was simply using the phrase to describe a wedding that occurs when the bride is pregnant. No judgement or offence intended. :)

[zephani]

I was 25 weeks pregnant when we got married. We were going to have a baby and then get married (we even had the date) but then we found DH's Dad was very sick and bought it forward to make sure he'd be there. It was small and lovely and the important in our lives were there (including DD :) ) I allowed myself one small glass of bubbly.

P.S We didn't have a shot gun wedding and take offence at the term.

[3boysnpregnant]

How Did the wedding go??

Do you have any pics..

[HELPihavea2yrold!]

I absolutely loved my belly and miss it, especially since I have a loose, flabby belly now. I felt the most sexy and gorgeous while pregnant so I would. My SIL did get married when she was 8 months pregnant and her waters broke as she was walking down the aisle lol. Her son arrived 2 hrs after the ceremony and SIL and my brother missed their own reception!

[Blonde Assassin]

No I personally would never ever dream of getting married during any stage of pregnancy, but that's just me :)

I am just trying to highlight that you were incorrectly using it in the wrong context and worrying needlessly about a wedding being referred to as a shotgun because as I said you don't have to be pregnant for it to meet the definition of a 'shotgun wedding'. Just as one doesn't refer to the party after a wedding as a wake, you don't call a wedding between two consenting adults who are willingly entering into a marriage a shotgun wedding ;)
