Due around a family wedding

I definitely wouldn’t go, and I’d want my husband to stay with me no matter what—whether I’m in labour or at home with a newborn. ( assuming the venue is more than 1-2 hrs by car) I’d be upfront with the relatives and say that I’m due around that time, and I feel the safest and wisest choice is to stay home. Of course, we’d love to attend the wedding, but naturally, the possible arrival of our baby takes priority.
Just let him go alone because that’s too much on a newborn or try to dance that baby out during the wedding! (As long as you don’t have to travel far of course) but know things can change as the date approaches if something comes up like health issues or something (praying that doesn’t happen but you never know)
Personally I’d go if I hadn’t had the baby but I would see if that’s ok because of cost per head. How far away is it? If I’ve had the baby probably not as sitting down wasn’t the most comfortable thing to do after birth and I had an easy birth! And then there is the rest of it! The other possibility is going to the service but again is that practical.
Depending on your relationship with in laws, let your husband tell them! We'd planned to not be heavily pregnant around a family wedding, only to find out children aren't invited anyway 🤦♀️😬 so now got to sort out childcare instead. 🙃
@Nora has good point, if you are in labor definitely he needs to stay next to you
I must add I've three other children aswell this is our fourth baby so we will have them at the wedding aswell unless I decide not to go my husband would take the oldest two with him and me and the new baby and little toddler would just stay at home.
Just let him go alone, don’t feel awful about it. Your in laws should understand, I mean the first days you won’t be ready to go out anyway.
