Due December 09 - Christmas babies!
- Thread starter Monty
- Start date
Hi girls,
Congratualations on your pregnancies and your weddings! How uncanny, I am also having my wedding in August and am having the same dress dillema! The dillema being I don't have a dress to wear and only two months to get one organised. Help - any suggestions?
Apologies for not posting on the December forum for so long. I am due on December 10 and did start this forum back in April. However I didn't get any responses for so long that I jumped into the November forum.
I am nearly 15 weeks along and glad the the nausea is finally subsiding. As long as I eat every couple of hours I am fine. A big improvement from before when I could not stomach anything for hours on end.
If you ever feel like meeting up and talking weddings and babies let me know!

hey monty, it would be nice to meet some other december moms. i've looked up some maternity wedding dress sites, but because mine is coming up in less than 6 weeks now, i don't have time to order a dress...i just went up to shenzhen yesterday to get one made and hopefully an empire waist style will be able to grow with me i'm just starting my 13th week and i'm hoping my nausea is subsiding too....it was a pretty rough first trimester. congrats too!

Hi girls, in a way it's good that you don't have a dress yet. The other day when i found out that i couldn't zip my gown up, i cried for 10 minutes. I guess it was (the hormone, and) because I have planned my wedding for a year and the dress took 6 months to order and suddenly this pregnancy happens and it is so unexpected. But of cos, nothing really matters as long as the baby is healthy. it's just that it's my first pregnancy and I am kinda freaked out.
My nausea is NOT going away (damn it!) and I am 14th week already. Every morning i feel like i am hungover and i wasn't even drinking!
For Monty, I don't think there's enuf time to order a dress. I would suggest that you rent a gown with an empire waist that you can adjust. There are lotsa shops in hk that offers rental service. The other option is vintage gown. My friend bought her vintage gown online and it only costs a couple of thousands in hong kong dollars and it looked absolutely amazing. The vintage gowns usually are not tight-fitted and have layers of lace that can cover up the bump. There's also a shop in Causeway Bay that sells vintage gown. They are around a couple of thousands and they looked quite loose to me. (last time i checked was 9 months ago tho).
Good luck to all december moms and bride-to-be! btw which hospital are you guys booked? May be we'll bump into each other in the delivery room too!

Hi Banane and McBlowfish,
Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of going up to Shenzen and ordering a gown to be made. The lack of time has me worried however! McBlowfish - sorry to hear about your gown not fitting. I can understand why you were crying! I would be too! Can I ask the website that your friend ordered her vintage gown from? Unfortunately I am unable to rent anything as we are having our wedding in Australia and not in Hong Kong.
The morning hangover - that is exactly how I described morning sickness to my partner! It is dreadful isn't it? Especially seeing as you don't get the joy of enjoying that glass of wine or two the night before!
Hospital - we are still deciding. It really is a decision between Canossa and Queen Mary.
As for a meet up - I am pretty flexible with times. Just need to set a day/time.

Welcome banane76 and mcblowfish to December 09 club! And double congratulations to all on pregnancy and getting hitched!! It must be really exciting and also overwhelming at the same time. Take good care of yourselves as you are going through the two life-time events at the same time which are both thrilling and exhausting!
I guess my morning sickness is getting milder, but nausea still comes back in the evening, and brushing teeth before going to bed makes me sick... I'm in week 15, so I'm hoping I can say good bye to it by the end of this week... Fingers crossed.
I'd love to meet up with you girls for chat. I'm not working at the moment, so if you want to meet up, I'm quite flexible in terms of time & place. Any time next Wed in Central works for me.

Hi gals! I am also not working at the moment and central sounds perfect to me. I can't do 12 next weds tho (i am trying my wedding gown on after it's been altered for my growing waist line, finger crossed for me that i can squeeze in it!) but anytime after 1pm is fine for me.
Good luck monty for your gown hunting - my gf got hers on eBay but i am sure there are a lot out there on the internet. Have fun searching!
