Help! I’m pregnant!

Would love some advice on what to do in my situation!
i just found out today that I am pregnant, and wedding is almost 3 months away.. good news is, I think we plan on announcing this at our wedding!

bad news is, I’m the maid of honour for my best friend (my MOH) who’s wedding is in May. I will have a 1 month old baby at the time. I feel terrible and was not expecting this to happen right now
and don’t exactly know what to do since I don’t want to leave her stranded. I want to say that I can give her my all but I can’t predict anything.

Another problem is that we are having our double bachelorette weekend next month with 20 girls.. and I am attending my future sister-in-law’s bachelorette also, a few weeks before ours.

timing couldn’t be worse! Not sure how to keep this a surprise!

any words of wisdom or relatable scenarios appreciated!!

When I was pregnant and didn’t want anyone to know, I would lie and say that I was on antibiotics and didn’t want to drink while on them.

I had a friend go to a bachelorette party and she just kept telling waitresses/bartenders she was pregnant and to not give her alcohol because her friends didn’t know and she didn’t want to ruin their fun. She also told her friends “no shots” because they’d been making her ill lately. She somehow got away with it, but it may be harder for the bride. I don’t know!

I would consider letting your MOH in on the news sooner vs later. Just give her the facts and the two of you can work out the details from there. Plus maybe she can help you out on your bachelorette weekend and try to steer things in a direction with less alcohol.
Best of luck and congrats!

I agree with McKenzie to let your MOH in on the secret as long as you and your FH are okay with that. Not only will she be able to help with the alcohol issue, but it also gives her a heads up for her own wedding. Keep in mind your due date is a best estimate too, I was born 2.5 weeks late and my son had to be induced 3 weeks early for medical reasons. Unfortunately, there’s just so much you can’t anticipate, all you can do is plan the best you can. Congratulations to you and your FH, and best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy! And a beautiful wedding 😉!

Congratulations! You might want to clue in the MOH. My mum was pregnant with me and had her MOH keep it under wraps. Now we laugh because she was clearly pregnant in her wedding photos.

Congrats! So exciting. I agree with the PPs who said your MOH should know. I think it's better that way so someone could look out for you too
