My friend has been feeling sick and she did a pregnancy test with has come back positive. She is surprised because she didn't plan to get pregnant you see. She is engaged to be married in the middle of July. She and her husband to be have booked a honeymoon cruise around Southern Europe. So she will by then be in the middle stage of pregnancy so hopefully she will be feeling well then. What do you think about her getting pregnant so soon? Should my friend keep her wedding at the same date or postpone it? Will she be okay to do a honeymoon cruise do you think?

Hopefully, she would be feeling well enough during the cruise. By that time, the first trimester would be done and over with, and she can just enjoy the vacation. Unless she wants to change the date of her wedding, and change her dress size too, then I don't see anything wrong with continuing with the wedding date that they originally planned.

Actually I think it would be a great idea for them to honeymoon before the baby is born so they can enjoy spending time alone. Besides, she won't be that big yet and the sickness should get better by then, so she should be alright.

I think if she is in the middle of her pregnancy and can very well travel.. im sure its fine. but if she has a sensitive pregnancy... then i guess she might need to just reschdule the cruise after about a year, perhaps...

I think she'll be ok for a cruise and stuff by then. That is actually a good time. The woman usually feels very good and usually quite active. No lifting though. These things happen sometimes and I think she should just carry on with her plans. There is no reason I can think of why she shouldn't go ahead and be married and enjoy a honeymoon.

I think it's not okey to do a honeymoon cruise during on pregnancy.firstly it's not good for baby ,at the first stage ,it's very important about brain development. so be careful!

do not worry about the pregnancy. i went to a wedding and the bride was in the 9th month. she danced with everyone. Her relatives were afraid of her water not to broke. But she felt so good and enjoyed the wedding. She gave birth after a week and after 2 weeks they went into their honeymoon and enjoyed it very much.

if she didn't want to get pregnant, she should've taken precautions... or better yet, wait until AFTER she was married... oh, what is the world coming to these days?

Hi, Now is already end of March and it means your friend will get married in less than 4 months time. Since she has got pregnant and i believe she will accept this news and give birth to this baby. She may not want it so fast,but the main problem she has did it and she has to bear the responsibility with her life partner. As for the honeymoon cruise, at that moments, i believe she has yet to enter her third trimester yet and still fine for her to travel for her honeymoon trip. Go and enjoy during the cruise trip and have more fun.

Well as I found myself in the same situation once upon a time all I can say is that they have to do what they feel is right and not bow down to family who might push one way or the other. We kept everything the same as we had all our deposits and what not already done. I wished I had moved mine up as (and there was no way of knowing this) I went into labor at 22 weeks and had to get permission to be off bed rest for a few hours to get married. It was fine but I would have had more fun if I could have danced and what not. Though as I said no one knows what will happen.

I wouldn't know anything about getting pregnant but I guess that wedding is an important event in her life. Maybe they've planned that wedding too much that they don't wanna postpone it.

Wow, if she is the type that gets sick she won't be okay, I don't know if a cruise is the right thing for her, even girls who are not pregnant get sick so many times...

Sometimes things come unexpectedly, i think it's a good surprise, she will have her baby, for the sake of the baby and her, i think they should postpone their wedding and and honeymoon, because it's very tired and also not safe. Hope your friend will give birth to a very cute baby.

A cruise when your pregnant? all that sea swell....gosh would'nt be me! (well, no it would,nt be me because im a man, but you know what i mean lol!) i think it's great that she is pregnant, it just means bringing a few plans a few years ahead of schedule. I wish them all the best and every happiness. But they really might want to think about a land based honeymoon lol!

I think the wedding is fine, it was simply a ceremony with a bunch of people getting together. About the cruise trip around Europe, she might need to postpone it, because at that time, she probably needs more rest than going out more often. You know what I am saying. She can postpone this honeymoon, and find another perfect time to go again.

Pregnancy sometimes does come about unplanned, as to whether she should proceed with the wedding, absolutely why not the pregnancy should not cause a change of plans. I won't comment about the pregnancy so soon because she is and well she is in love and all should be well. As for the cruise I don't see why she should change that either. She hopefully is healthy and the pregnancy will go well. Since she won't be near the delivery date by then I don't feel she will have any problem going on the cruise.
