The wedding is still in a couple of months, but IYH I will be about a month post-partum. When do I get a gown? How do I know what size I will be? IYH I hope recovery won’t be as hard but with my first I couldn’t imagine going out at all the first month. I barely made it to the bris, the pidyon haben was a struggle too. I’m getting so overwhelmed thinking about having to go to gown appointments, sheitel appointments, get outfits for my toddler and new baby, shoes etc. all the sheva brachos…

Most women feel better after their second birth because they know what to expect and your body has done this before.

Make sure to be super organised. Leave nothing for then. Get your toddler and baby outfits now.

Most importantly, take it easy and do not expect too much of yourself. You're excused!

Your best bet might be getting a maternity gown and doing last minute alterations if needed. If you still have a few months to go maybe work on it sooner so you're not trying it on when you're much further along. It probably won't fit you perfectly, but it'll be something

I had a wedding 3 weeks pp.
Took care of kids and sheitel before.
For myself I got a lace top and gown skirt. Had it taken in day before the wedding. I skipped most sheva brachos.

I had a wedding also one month after my second. Recovery was night and day better than my first hopefully you’ll have the same experience.
The gown is a challenge, I ended up getting one custom made and it was no fun but easier than shlepping around to stores.
The outfits for the toddler and baby why can’t you get that in advance? I didn’t know the gender and actually bought 2 outfits before I gave birth and gave one away after. Yes it cost a little more but it was way easier. Or get something white so it’s gender neutral and can be used for both. A baby that little doesn’t need a real simcha outfit just a knit strechie maybe with a hat.
Sheitel you can get done off your head if that’s a stress. Isn’t as perfect but still pretty good.

Leave the toddler and newborn with babysitters and save the hassle of dressing them!
