Pregnant Maid of Honor...

So... I have decided to name my sister my maid of honor.. well turns out, she got pregnant, and will be abour 7 months in the pregnancy by the time of the wedding.
We do not have the best relationship, but I named her maid of honor anyways... Now.. I don't want a pregnant person in the bridal party....
I am not really sure how to tell her, she cant be in the wedding anymore... because of the pregnancy...
Any Ideas?
thanks!
Cristina

    You don't tell her she can't be in the wedding, just because she's pregnant. No take backs. You should ask her if she feels up to being in the wedding or if it will be too much stress on her and allow her to decide what she wants to do. If she stays, try to make her as comfortable as possible and find a great maternity dress for her to wear. If she does step down I would leave her name as MOH in the program (if you have one) and just not have a MOH. Otherwise, as many many many people have said before, she looks replacable and whoever you ask to step up looks not good enough to make the A-team.

    Please head over to the wedding party board and read the very top portion:  'Are uneven sides okay? (Yes!) Can you kick out a pregnant bridesmaid? (No!) Ask the toughest questions about your wedding party here.'

    You will cause a ton of trouble by kicking her out, and it will almost definitely make your already poor relationship worse. It will make you look like a bridezilla who doesn't want a fat chick in their pictures.  It seems to me you regret asking her to be a BM, and this very convenient way to kick her out just dropped in your lap.  Don't do it.

    She will let you know if she isn't comfortable being a BM after becoming PG.

    Wow I hope you're joking because if not, you are a rude little thing to consider kicking someone out of your bridal party to begin with, much less because she is pregnant. Hopefully this is MUD, and if not, well, you're just a b*tch!

    Hmmmm-first post.  Kick out a pregnant BM?  Sounds like MUD to me.  Please, in the name of all that's holy, let this be MUD,

    Because it pains me to think that someone might be this completely classless.

    I think I know why you don't have the best relationship with your sister.

    Why are you so against having a pregnent BM?  I don't understand this at all.  No you are not allowed to ask her to step down.  If anything, have a discussion with her about her current omfort level.

    This sounds like something that would've happened in the 50s, the 1850s.
