Just Curious? We are thinking about it.

Definitely not! The only way I could see doing that is if your clock is majorly ticking and you want to get a head start - but what about morning sickness

Everyone's situation is different so please take everyone's exclamation marks on the subject with a grain of salt. IMO, if thats what you and your FH want to do then I'd say go for it! My friend is doing that for her upcoming wedding remembering that her first child took a couple of months to conceive. Although the girls had really good points that I would have to consider before doing it, you do what feels right for you.

absolutely not. I'm not missing out on drinks during the wedding and many, many drinks on the HM.

Amen and ditto!

I understand the desire to start...I don't want to wait too long either, but I agree with everyone else about what it will do to you physically, but think also of the child...wedding time, as well all know, is very stressful especially the days leading up to it, which is not good for a growing fetus.

but with 4 weeks to go, no one's telling you not to have a few 'practice' runs!

Enjoy being a bride and a newlywed. those moments are fleeting...being a parent is for a lifetime.

Yes, for example if your clock is ticking and you are a teacher, like me. Ideally, if I was to conceive before the wedding (July) in May I'd have a month more maternity leave. I can understand the timing of conception. My friend is an accountant (understandablly her children are not born between January and April) and being a teacher A LOT of my colleagues try to time it. If their due date is in January they don't come back until September. If they can't afford that, they time for March because that will be 12 weeks before the end of the school year so you maximize your maternity leave without losing money and then get the summer off. However, if you are untenured (one of my colleagues) she HAD to time it for July so she could come right back in Sept.

To each his or her own.

I did watch one episode of a baby story though, where bride had severe endometriosis(sp) and they said she would have a rough time getting preggo...it turned out 8 weeks before she got married, she got preggo, and they announced it at the wedding to all their family. And all of her family members were so happy and celebrating.

Not at all. We decided to wait a few years until we try.

Couldn't afford to have kids and plan a wedding. But I hope to start right afterwards. But we'll see because my brother is getting married soon as well (probably June 2006) and I don't want to make his fiance deal with a preggo bridesmaid!!!

One of my friends did this...she and her husband were having fertility problems. They tried way before the wedding...but were unsucessful. She had many miscarriages but now she has two healthy twins

No not yet. During the HM maybe but not before.

Oh Hell No.

A couple of months does not make a difference no matter how fast your clock is ticking. Besides, I wouldnt feel right at the wedding knowing I was pregnant, and its not something I would want people to know. People are over dramatic as it is, I wouldnt want to be the talk of the town.

P.S. My mother was pregnant with me at their wedding.
