MOH PREGNANT....

So we found out last night, my best friend and her husband have been trying for a while and they're pregnant. My FH and I are getting married 7/15/17, she is due 7/8/17. I don't know who else to talk to about this so I am discussing it here...what if my MOH/best friend isn't there? What about...

So we found out last night, my best friend and her husband have been trying for a while and they're pregnant. My FH and I are getting married 7/15/17, she is due 7/8/17. I don't know who else to talk to about this so I am discussing it here...what if my MOH/best friend isn't there? What about getting a dress? Shes going to be either 1 week post or 9 month pregnant... Am I being a total bridezilla worrying about this? I want to be happy for her, the timing.....I am so excited for them, and heartbroken for us. She and I were hoping to be pregnant around the same time....like this time next year. I know, thats not how life works....still though, we all "plan" that goofy sh*t with our besties. So here I am, talking to a bunch of strangers because I am so lost. I feel horrible for feeling upset, I would never make her feel bad for this. I have prayed for them to conceive, and here it is and I feel terrible about it. Ya'll, I feel like Im crazy and going out of my mind. =/

    Thank you to everyone who posted. I have truly felt like a crazy person since they told us. A 4 hour gym session and the evening with my amazing FH, I am feeling much better.

    I definitely could not replace her so to speak. My other bridesmaids are my SIL to be (5yrs younger) and a friend I have known 20+ years. They will be good help if my MOH is unavailable.

    I spoke with a friend who has a little one, and she told me, that there will be a likely chance, that my MOH will not be there. It's a sad reality, but I am truly excited for them to have a little one. The timing, could not be any worse. Haha

    As for our wedding, it will be wonderful no matter what. I have waited 12 years, 13 when we finally tied the knot, and all I care about is marrying him.

    I guess we will see what happens when she gets a little closer to delivering and I get a little closer to getting married.

    It's going to be an interesting nine months everyone!

    Hey lady! I had a semi-similar situation happen before my wedding. Although she wasn't my MOH, she was a bridesmaid and one of my closest friends too. She was having a scheduled C-Section 3 days before our wedding date. When she told me she was pregnant we were still in the process of finding a dress for all my girls. So fortunately, she hadn't purchased it yet. I let her decide what she wanted to do. I pretty much told her it wouldn't hurt my feelings if she opted to not be in my wedding and that I would obviously support her either way. She ended up choosing not to be in my wedding. And understandably so. She didn't want to purchase the dress and not be able to fit in it and then it be a waste of money and she also didn't want me to be disappointed closer to the date when there was a chance she wouldn't be able to make it. I loved her choice and supported her 110%. Just let your MOH decide Smiley smile I also still included my friend in all the bridesmaid stuff and got her some of the gifts still so it made her feel included still as well. And she truly appreciated it all. Do whatever you want and whatever makes you happy in the end. It's your big day!

    I would be equally disappointed but I think you need to start preparing yourself that she probably won't be at your wedding. She can still help and participate in the other activities though and it's ultimately her call whether she makes it or not

    It's okay to be a little bummed because something unexpected has come up and it will have an effect on your wedding day. BUT that feeling should wear off after a couple of days. She can still be your MOH even if she can't be there on your wedding day. There's plenty of things that take place before the big day. See if she can make it to your last dress fitting so you can take some pics with her while you're in your dress.
