Wedding

Am I crazy for just wanting a small wedding or even just getting married at a courthouse just the 2 of us plus our little one? We aren’t big event people, never have been. Planning and paying for a wedding just seems like a lot. There is pressure for us to throw a wedding 😳

I got married at the courthouse. It was great.
10 years later and we’re going to do an anniversary party that’s the wedding we never had.

For our wedding our parents rented an event room in a restaurant, my husband's best friend got ordained, & we had maybe 20 people. Then, a few months later, we rented a hall for a larger reception.

After their weddings we had 2 friends tell us they wished they did what we did because it was so much less stressful & cost-effective.

When me and my fiance get married we will just go to the courthouse or have a tiny wedding with our parents and siblings

I got married in an office building lol just me and my husband. We weren’t even standing the guy just had us sitting across from his desk in chairs. Gave him a check for $100 and went on our way married

We decided to get married in our backyard with few friends and family . Very simple afternoon get together.

My husband and I eloped in September and it was the most beautiful thing we could have done. We have no regrets and would do it 10x over as it suited us perfectly. We still made a day of it and got married in a mini castle on the coast, we had our dog, my mum and dad and my husband’s brother. We then went to the beach for photos and out for dinner then bed! It was perfect and just for us. Of course people will have something to say about it but they will probably moN about a wedding too lol
I recommend everyone elopes/has a micro wedding!
Also you will save ££££ haha

As a neurodivergent introvert who camouflages as a social butterfly OCCASIONALLY, make your vows as special as you can make them in whatever setting is most meaningful to you. Then, celebrate with others however you feel is most FUN 🎉 We eloped with our besties and officiant, then had an evening reception a few months later at a local casual winery that let us bring our own caterer. It was as affordable as possible & really great for us! Money was spent on the dress, photographer who captured our vows, reception caterer & winery.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
