"interesting" post on 3rd Tri.

Someone over there posted that they are in a wedding, 5 hours away 2 weeks after their due date! Personally I think this is crazy. I wouldn't have even considered it. We had our immediate family over for a few hours on Christmas when ds was a bit over two weeks and I was EXHAUSTED! She's getting upset at people telling her this. What's your take?

There's no way. My best friend got engaged on my birthday last summer, and chose my due date as her wedding date. She knew I was pregnant, knew that was my due date but didn't really care. THEN asked my fiance to be an usher in the wedding. Luckily, I went into labor the wednesday before so we didn't have to waste money on a tux.
Biitch be crazy! I think she is completely naive if she thinks she can participate in a wedding with a freshly hatched bambino on the boob.
I maybe could have done it at 4 weeks, but 2? uh uh. no way. not happening. no bueno.
Baahahhahaa that's awesome. Also your spanglish makes me giggle.

No effing way. My LO was a week late. Add to that 2 nights in the hospital. So that would have put me at 5 days after being discharged having to be in an OOT wedding?
Hellz the eff no.

I had a c-section so I wouldn't have even be released to drive until the day of the wedding. NO way would I have been a bridesmaid. I would have been lucky to even go to the wedding.
I could have done it, if all I had to do was show up and look decent. If I had to do much more than that I would have had a hard time. I would have agreed to it if the friend was willing to be flexible and understanding.
The big problem is that you have NO idea beforehand how you will feel 2 weeks after your due date. You could be still pregnant or you could have a 4+ week old baby or you could have a baby still in the NICU. You could feel back to normal and fit in your pre-preg clothes or you could be leaking/bleeding from multiple places and miserable. You just never know.
I think a big part of her situation is that it's 5 hours away...which with a newborn is probably more like a 7-8 hour trip to account for nursing. I know when DS was 2 weeks old driving the 10 minutes to the Pedi's office was nerve-wracking enough!
I personally think it is crazy. I didn't read the OP, so I don't know how far along she is, but she could go early and baby could be in NICU, she could go late....
I had my 2nd LO at 41w1d by emergency c-section and didn't get out of the hospiatl until 2 days later... if she is planning a trip 2 weeks after her due date, that would have been 4 days after I was d/c. I couldn't even sleep in my own bed at that point because I was too sore to climb up there with DS in my arms.
Call it premonition or whatever... DS came 6 weeks early and I was soooo sick. It killed me not being there but I was at peace that it didn't cause drama.
