{GB} Getting Married While Pregnant

Are you pregnant, and getting married? Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and on your pregnancy! Getting hitched while you are expecting can be a wonderful experience, but it does require a bit of extra planning. Whether you are in your first trimester and battling unpleasant pregnancy signs  like morning sickness and extreme fatigue, or further along and sporting a beautiful baby bump, tying the knot with a little one on the way poses some challenges.  But let’s take a look at the bright side of getting married while pregnant. What do pregnant brides get that those who have their wedding before conceiving, or after their baby is born, don’t?

Your baby will be part of one of the most important days of your life, and will have a special place in those wedding pictures that will stay on your mantle piece for many years to come.

You get to enjoy your honeymoon to the full! Perhaps couples who get married before conceiving and would love a honeymoon baby spend time on using an ovulation calendar and tracking their fertility, and those who get married after they have a baby witness their honeymoon turn into a family vacation, or forgo it altogether. Not you – you’ll get to have a great, relaxing time with your new husband!

One of the biggest challenges for pregnant brides is finding the wedding dress of their dreams, and making sure it still fits on their wedding day. But on the upside, you will get to wear some of the most gorgeous maternity wear known to man! A maternity wedding dress is certainly a welcome change from your run of the mill, not so nice pregnancy clothing!

If your skin has that famous “pregnancy glow”, you will not need to worry about expensive make-up, and you will have a radiance that is more than skin deep! Pregnancy hormones will help you look like a million Dollars on your big day!

Are you not someone who enjoys being in the center of attention and putting on a show all day long? If you want to get married with a baby on the way, nobody will judge you and your hubby-to-be for eloping to Las Vegas and having no guests at your wedding – except for Elvis, of course!
