Questions & Answers

My parents were married while pregnant with me! They decided they were going to get married anyways, why not do it before baby was born. They've been together for 29 years this summer, and while I still tease them, I'm glad they did!

Birth certificates have mother's maiden name anyway. Whichever you decide will be fine. Get married now, if it makes you guys happy. Wait if it's less stressful. Congratulations! :)

I think it's personal preference. Hun and I aren't "officially" married, though we refer to one another as husband/wife. Baby Boy was born over 2 years ago and we're having our second. No matter what, our family is our family and that's all there is to it. Thankfully, both of our extended families accept this as truth.

Baby Boy has Hun's last name, if/when we ever perform the legal requirement of marriage, I'll also share his last name. Until then, I simply sign my name differently :shrugs:

In other words, whether you have an actual wedding before the Baby comes or not, should be completely up to the two of you.

I was almost 6mos pregnant when I got married and for the same reason you state here. I wanted to have the same last name as my baby and husband. It's a very personal choice. One that shouldn't be influenced by anyone, including family. I never thought I would be pregnant at my wedding. It wasn't my dream. But my husband was the kind of man I dreamt of marrying and that's what mattered to me. If it's what you and your future husband want, then do it! :)

If you're not comfortable having an actual wedding while pregnant, you can always go to the courthouse. Then have an actual wedding ceremony on your anniversary. I've had plenty of friends do that. I personally do not see any harm in having a wedding while pregnant. It's all up to personal preference, really. Either way, I understand wanting to have the same last name on the birth certificate.
