I always just wore a little dress of some description normally something jersey and stretchy as I always christened mine by 12 weeks so was still carrying weight. Just be careful with the shoes because if your anything like me and got used to flats during pregnancy a 4 inch pair of heels are not a good idea on slippy church floors carrying a baby !!!!

Pick something your comfortable in most importantly that you can pull over your head and your ready. A little tea dress or something would be perfect at this time of year and you will get use out of it again over Summer.

Enjoy your special day

I had a lovely white dress to the knee and a blue jacket. I wanted to look really nice.

I would suggest something dressy but something you feel comfortable wearing, My fiance and I had our daughter baptized 3 months old and I wore a beautiful cream above the knee shift dress and killer heels but they were super comfortable I was dancing in way into the early hours in them without a bother lol, it depends on the day that you have planned aswell ie, an early lunch and then home or lunch and the some drinks in a hotel which can last all night,
It will depend on your figure also, I'm sure you look amazing btw but if you feel yourself you have a bit of baby weight left you might not want something to figure hugging, for me I was one of the lucky ones I lost all the baby weight before leaving hospital my stomach was completely flat but in fairness there was'nt much to lose I weight to lose my bump was barely visible during the pregnancy,whatever you decided to wear I hope you and your beautiful baby have a wonderful day xxxx:)

I wore a lovely dress - black & gold, but wasn't aware that it was quite short when I sat down. We were on the front row, with nothing in front of us, so a lot of pics are of us sitting down & my pants are pretty much on show

What would you normally wear to church?
