Would you attend a wedding 3 weeks- 4 weeks after giving birth (c-section)?

Is it local? Do you have family around to watch the baby? I was MOH in my best friends wedding less then 2 weeks after I had my son. My sister and mom watched my son from about 2pm to 1am that morning. It was local so I was able to make it work

I agree. A close friend or family member, yes. Anyone else, no. If it's cool with them you can tell them you'll play it by ear. If you have a vaginal birth then you'll probably be fine 3-4 weeks after giving birth but with a c section you might still be healing.

Re: Wedding?
I would have been physically up to it (I had a csection as well) but my main thing would be wanting to be around my DS to nurse. Newborns nurse on demand and frequently, I'd be afraid to leave for too long, if it were a very close friend I'd try to figure something out and go for some of the time. If nursing isn't a factor, I can def see going as long as you're comfortable leaving the baby. As far as the csection goes, everyone will have a different recovery but I felt pretty good a week out.

Re: Wedding?
I was my sister's MOH 5 weeks after giving birth (not a C section). I EBF and I won't lie, it was not easy. I pumped and dumped the whole night while my DH's aunt and uncle gave my baby pumped breast milk at home. It was my sister, so I was going no matter what....but it was really hard, so I would only go if it was someone you are really close to.

Re: Wedding?
I would go for a cousin if it wasn't too far away and if it was my mom watching the baby. Maybe just goto the reception and let dh do the ceremony (if it's split).

Re: Wedding?
i went to a wedding 4 weeks after dd was born, and i have another wedding 3 weeks after #2 is due. assuming my mom can watch both kids, i plan on going to this wedding too. I did have a vaginal birth for dd so im not sure how different the recovery is.
i was breast feeding and i will admit that was a pain bc i did have to go pump twice while i was there (it was an hour away in NJ). but im glad i went...it was nice to get out

As long as you feel physically ok I'd say go.
If you're BF make sure to bring a cover for when you pump.

I can't imagine that if you decided to sit this one out that people would be angry with you. You will have given birth so close to the date of the wedding. Go with your gut; do whatever makes you the most comfortable.

I guess I was more concerned with leaving a newborn that early. I didn't leave my DD until god knows when! Lol

Re: Wedding?
Depends on how feeling - took me awhile first time around to feel just like putting on real pants. But it could also be good mentally for you to get gussied up and go out even if BFing and having to tote baby with you.

Re: Wedding?
I was supposed to be in a wedding 3 weeks after giving birth. Sandy his and it ended up being a few months later.
As a guest it would depend the relationship and who would babysit. You just don't want to leave your baby then but if its a close family member it can be ok.

Wedding?
My husbands brother is getting married 10 days after my due date and my husband is the best man!! I honestly do NOT think I'll be ok to attend especially since I'll be exclusively breast feeding and not with bottles. I will not attend with baby and I will not leave my son alone without me when he's not even 2 weeks old! So for me it's a no and it's my own brother in law but I know that they understand.

Re: Wedding?
I had a c-section (3rd one), and did not have an easy recovery. Thanksgiving was 10 days after DS was born. We all went into Queens for the holiday, did not leave early. I just brought my pump, and pumped for the baby. Maybe not as taxing as going to a wedding, but it was nice to get dressed up and go out and have fun. I'd go to the wedding.

Re: Wedding?
I went to one 4 weeks after my 1st section for a friend of DH. I felt fine though I wasn't up on the dance floor too much! My mom watched DS. However, I formula fed, so I didn't have to worry about her feeding him while I was gone.
