Need some advice...

Just curious if anyone else is now or has gone through this...

I have already chosen my bridal party and have asked all the girls, but I have one BM who told me there is a good chance she will be pregnant, very pregnant, the day of the wedding. I know of two other members of the bridal party who this is a possibility for, including my MOH.

I realize I probably shouldn't start thinking about it too much yet as anything can happen, but when she approached me, I gave her the option to back out, as I can understand it would be uncomfortable, and she said that she was really excited and didn't want to do that, rather she just wanted to make me aware that it would be a good possibility. I am afraid, though, that as it gets closer to the date, she may change her mind, and that may make things more complicated.

HELP! I know this can be a very touchy situation.

I also have a possibility for three of my BM to be pregnant at the time of my wedding. I have already told them that I would love for them to be in the wedding, but understand if they cannot be for any reason.

My cousin was married last weekend and her sister (her MOH) is nine months pregnant. She was fine and happy to be in wedding. I'm sure your BM's will feel the same whether they are pregnant or not.

Honestly at this point there isn't much you can do, one of the many problems with planning a wedding is you can't predict the future. My advice is don't sweat it for now b/c worrying won't change anything. Then when you're within 9 months of the wedding you can take stock of who's pregnant and not and make a game plan from then on. Plus, people have pregnant ladies in the BP all the time, you should be fine.

2 of my BM might be pregnant too! Nothing you can do about it... just have fun planning and whatever happens happens.

If they haven't expressed any concern then neither should you. My cousin was pregnant with TWINS and was a MOH!!

Her biggest complaint was that the dress looked horrible on her. So if I were you I would consider giving your bridal party latitude with regards to the gowns they wear. Something really form fitting may not be the thing for the soon to be moms (as was the case with my cousin).

Good luck - it'll definitely all work out.

I definitely wouldn't worry about it! If she is this excited and you already gave her a chance to back out, I really doubt she will. I would recommend looking into maternity BM dresses. There are a lot of cute ones out there! Good luck! and don't let it stress you out!

Just work out a deal with the place where you are ordering the dresses from. They should be able to work it into the alterations.
