Stop stealing my spotlight!

Great attitude for sure. I potentially will have 2 that are gonna be pregnant in my bridal party. The one is my MOH. She told me that she was going to stop trying so she wouldn't be pregnant for my wedding, I told her I didn't care as long as she wasnt going to deliver on my wedding day because of course I want to be there when my future neice or nephew was born just like I was there for her first. She wants to be able to have fun so she's being careful not to get preggo. Her husband actually gave me grief when his wife mentioned that she was going to stop trying and said their 2nd child is more important than my wedding... boy did he feel bad when someone told him that it wasn't me (bc I'm completely fine with it) that said it and it was his wife that decided this. I had one of my bridesmaids tell me a few days ago that she may be preggo for my wedding and I told her that's awesome. The only thing I worry about is what size dress to get her. I guess we will figure that one out this month because I'm going dress shopping with my girls Just don't understand why people would be angry over this. I'm not.. I'm excited.. Iove babies

One of my bridesmaids was kicked out of her cousin's wedding when she was pregnant. AFTER purchasing a hideous $400 dress...poor girl...

I'm having this problem right now! Well maybe not so much a problem, because I'm so happy to an aunt again, but my MOH will be 7 months pregnant on my wedding day - YIKES! We're making our bridesmaid dress so does anybody have any tips on how we can get her dress to be the perfect size? She lives out of town and will be in about two days before the wedding, and will be a lot bigger baby bump wise than she will be the last time I see her before the wedding - at Christmas. Any ideas on how I can make this work?!

my best friend of 20+ years/matron of honor  will be around 35 weeks preggers at my wedding in feb. we just found yday she is having a GIRL!!! we are all SOOOOO excited! when she called to tell me she was preggers she was really afraid that i would be mad for ruining the wedding. i laughed, and then cried. my best friend is FINALLY HAVING A BABY!!!! i am stoked! we have been joking that she will go into labor at the wedding bc that is just her style, always over the top she keeps saying she will be the "tent" walking down the aisle, since her belly will be so big. love that girl lol. we all pitched in to help her cover the extra cost of the maternity option dress over the regular dress (like an extra 50 bucks or so total). so excited, i just dont understand people that get all upset about your friends having a baby...

Awesome attitude.  My mom was a MOH for my aunt's wedding and I was born (unexpected C-section) the day before the wedding!  So my mom was in the hospital for the wedding but the wedding party came to visit my mom the day of the wedding and took pictures in the hospital room with me in them.  I think that's really cool and I love those pictures.  The bride also ended up being my godmother:)
My MOH is trying to get pregnant and I'm totally cool with it and happy for her!

I actually would rather have a bridesmaid that is pregnant at the wedding than my case where you will have a nursing newborn - Im not planning on scheduling pictures/limo around the feeding time of the baby that is for sure - at least if she was still pregnant its just a matter of switching out the dress and getting her some comfortable shoes/chair to sit it for the ceremony!

I have a pregnant MOH and one of my bridesmaids are pregnant too!  They were supposed to have the babies in the last two weeks before the wedding but opted for C-sections to make it earlier!  Very nice of them - we appreciate it a lot!

I think it's wonderful that your bm is preggo and you are not a bridezilla over it.  I hope for the best.

I have TWO bridesmaids that are pregnant.   My MOH will be about 8 months pregnant at my wedding but is completely excited about my wedding and being in it no matter what.  The second is due two weeks after the wedding and since she lives about 3 states away she unfortunately won't be able to make it to the wedding, which sucks because we have all been best friends since like 6th grade but I am completely excited for them both and for the new little boys they are going to be bringing into our group!!

My MOH is trying to get pregnant, so nothing's for sure so far.  She could be any size at the wedding date, but I'm thinking of having a style of dress for all my bridesmaids that could work well with a prego belly or without (I'm making the dresses myself and I want them all to have the same skirt at least).  I'm thinking an empire waisted dress in nice-hanging jersey would be pretty forgiving and I think they're all on board with the idea.

I will say I'm a little relieved that she hasn't conceived yet, just because now for sure she won't have a due date that conflicts with the wedding, ha.  In all seriousness though, I hope it's not too hard for her in the long run; I wouldn't wish that kind of trouble on anyone.

I have two potentially pregnant bridesmaids.  They're both trying for families right now and we're planning for baby bumps in the dress shopping.  I'm so excited for them and honestly, I think they'll look adorable in a little empire waist dress.

I can't believe anyone wouldn't be absolutely thrilled for their friends having children.

Well I must be a "bridezilla"because I dont want any pregnant people in my wedding.  My FI cousin was supposed to be in th wedding and when I called to ask her to be in it she told me she was pregnant.  I told her I am happy for you but you are due too close to the wedding and her being a new mom and being a bridesmaid would be too much for her at the time.  She got pissed and went on facebook and had a temper tantrum.  I havent spoken to her since I was just thinking about the bigger picture the Financial part of it and the fact that her child would be like two weeks old.  I know when I had my sons I didnt want to do anything for the first two weeks but hold them...

It sounds like you have it all under control, I have/had 3 pregnant ladies in my line-up and one just gave birth so she is just now getting her dress my MOH just found out she is so she will be around 3 months when the wedding date arrives so she had to get a bigger dress size (I just let all my girls pick a style of dress they liked in all the same color so it would be easier for everyone to pick a dress and get it ordered in time for the wedding) and my 3rd pregnant lady told me last minute that she refused to buy her dress until after her baby was born which her due date is 2 weeks before my wedding and the dresses take up to 8 weeks to order. So ultimately she decided that she will not be in my wedding, and that she made up her mind a long time ago and just didn't want to tell me. So since she told me with such short notice I cannot even get someone to put in her place. So to me I feel like she was being really selfish and rude and I wish she would have been honest with me from the start. But it sounds like to me that the woman who is pregnant in you wedding is mature and understands what needs to happen and will be there for you every step of the way. Yes, it will be stressful, but it sounds like you can count on her and trust her to be there for you.

ok so this post caught my eye. My sister is a bm in my july wedding she is pregnant and due in May she has not bought her dress yet and we have no idea what size to order. the dress has to be ordered at least 2 months before wedding so it will be here in time but she will still be pregnant then. What size should we order her? close to or a little bigger than her prepregnant size? please help!!!

One of my BM's is due two weeks before the wedding, so while the baby will (hopefully) have arrived by the wedding, she's worried about the weight.  For this reason, I chose one size fits all dresses by Butter by Nadia for my bridesmaids.  They require no alterations and my pregnant BM can get use out of it after she loses the baby weight.  for all those people genuinely happy for their pregnant BMs but a little worried about it affecting the dresses, I suggest you check out this line.

valeriejan96

two of my bm's are pregnant , one is doe 2 months before the wedding, the second just found out and is due a week before the wedding.  She asked me if i wanted her to step down, and told her no way- having her involved in the wedding process is WAY more important to me than downgrading her!  if she isn't up to participating on the wedding day (its her first), such is life- we will have one extra guy then in pics!  I am so happy i have been looking at empire waist line dresses for my ladies!

My sister (MOH) and brother-in-law have been trying to get pregnant for nearly two years. With hormone treatments, specialists and acupuncturists, it's been an emotional roller coaster. Each month we go through the, "if I get pregnant this month, I'll be due on this date". This month, she would be due two days after our wedding!
I keep telling her that if she's pregnant or has a newborn at our wedding, it will simply be even more reasons for us to celebrate on that day. My FI and I want nothing more than a neice or nephew to spoil and visit, and if means joint birthday and anniversary celebrations for the rest of our lives, we are fine with that!! Plus, if she goes into labor on the altar, my Dad and a few of our guests are OB/GYNs, so we should be in good shape.

One of my BM just bought a dress and found out that she is pregnant... she is going to try to buy extra material from the store and make the dress bigger if needed.  I'm so excited!  Pregnant bridesmaids are the cutest.

horay for your friend!  my friend actually told me a few weeks ago that she was pregnant and she will be about 7 months along by my wedding.  the first question she asked was whether or not I still wanted her in my wedding because of the dresses they just got in and I blurted out "no one cares about the dress!  we'll figure it out!"... I couldn't even IMAGINE my day without her there.  I told her that if she was not physically comfortable at that point (because she had such a hard last pregnancy) that of course I wanted her to be in it just wouldn't have her walking. 

they shop is working with her on getting a dress and sized.

congratulations to you AND your friend!

My step-sister, AKA, Maid of Honor is pregnant -- and she's due 2 weeks after the wedding.  With her first child, she gave birth early... eek! :-D  I'm excited though - everybody else freaked out, but really - can't change anything! Just hope we can both be there for each other! :-D

angelchild24

aww i have a bridesmaid who may also be pregnant, so far tests have said no, but her husband, her and I all think she is, and i'm sure her sister's think so too, she will be about 8 months at the time of my wedding, she said "i will ruin your phontos" of course i told her that was ridiculous, i really hope she is and couldn't be happier about, glad to know there are other brides out there that are happy about a BM being preggo!

My MOH is due the day after our wedding, and her husband is the officiant. I could stress about it, but figure it makes the whole day more exciting. I too am so happy for my MOH, and thankful she wanted to still be a part of my special day. 

We got her dress, and it was the wrong size, but the company took it upon themselves to make a new one and shipped it in less than a week. Lulakate is an awesome company. We are now 16 days from the wedding, the next few weeks will be exciting, a wedding, a new baby, and two friends sharing very important times of their lives together! 

I am so glad your title was a "fake out".

I found out one of my BM's is pregnant and due one week after the wedding. I am so excited for her, and she still wants to be in the wedding. The only nerve wrecking part for both of us is she lives 3 hours away. But the doctor is ok with her traveling here, at least for now

never2late4happilyeverafter

My very best friend, and obviously my Maid of Honor, is expecting on the date my fiance had hoped for given his work/travel schedule.  We're adjusting everything as we can to accomodate the birth, give my friend a month to recover, and still have her present for our special day.  I have never ever been able to understand Bride's who won't include a pregnant pal.  The way I see it, the plan is for us to get pregnant soon after we're married sooo we'll be raising 2 little ones together... what could be better?

I'll gladly take any insight you have!  We'll be ordering dresses soon so we can estimate what she'll need post-pregnancy. 

Either way congrats to you both!  A marraige for you and a little for your pal: sounds great!

I wasnt a BM however my partner was a GM for his sisters wedding, my due date. I ended up being in labour and missing the whole thing and my FI went to the ceremony for his sister then came back to me.

While it wasnt planned to steal the spotlight, I unfortunately did have the family listening to hear news from me while at the wedding. My sister-in-law however had no probems with it and brought me flowers from the wedding the following day so I had something from the day considering I couldnt be there.

shelbyleigh7

i just heard from my FOURTH out of 7 bridesmaid that she is pregnant!! Luckily the bridesmaid dresses i picked out are empire waist and loose around the midsection!! But they're all going to look so cute and I'm so excited about it!!

lovleigh88

My maid of honor told me about a month ago that she is due the month of my wedding. We were so happy for her, but still wondered what to do because I want to be there for her and the baby as much as she wants to be there for me for the wedding. Instead of trying to fit everything together in the same month, we chose to move the wedding about four months out. We had toyed with the idea of an outdoor ceremony and now that we move the wedding to a cooler month, we can get married outside and have my best friend there....and the new baby.

I have been engaged now for over 2 years (wedding is July 2011) and my sis who is my MOH has been trying to get pregnaant with her husband for almost as long. (fertility issues). They are still trying and I am hoping they get pregnant soon. She thought I would be upset that she may steal the thunder and I just said that it gives me a chance to eat as I will tell all the family to go rub her belly and talk about the pregnancy and just leave me alone for 5 minutes lol.
   Also, my original date for the wedding was July 31, 2010 but we had to put it off due to the recession and in November of 2009 I found out that a good friend of mine was pregnant. Baby was due a week before the wedding. We all had a good laugh that she may be late and deliver on my wedding day. I didn't care. I was so super excited. But we put the wedding off so it didn't matter anymore. (btw she delivered a healthy, beautiful baby girl 5 days before my original wedding date.)

Of my 4 bridesmaids in my wedding, 3 of them got pregnant durning my engagement. It all worked out fine, and now with my wedding only days away, we have extra guests to invite, and my new godson is able to walk down the aisle as my ring bearer.

My MOH is pregnant.  My wedding is in May and she's due at the end of December.  We've decided to go dress shopping for all the bridesmaids in January or February so that she doesn't have to buy a maternity dress since she will no longer have a little one in there at the time of my wedding.  I'm extremely happy for her, she's been trying for a while and now that it's happening, I would never let that get in the way of anything. 

Just because they're pregnant doesn't mean that they are less interested in helping you plan or being a part of your wedding. I'm very happy that she is still going to be there for me.    And I will be there for her!
