Pregnant Bridal Party

Wait - three are pregnant at the same time????

Holy moly - they are fertile Myrtles!

No need to feel bad about them getting pregnant - I would be bummed if my wedding party ended up being really, really pregnant on my wedding day.

Did you know that they were trying prior to asking them to be in the wedding?

Humm, well give it some time. They may end up stepping down eventually if your wedding is that close to their due date anyway. How many bridesmaids do you have total?

It was a surprise to all three. We had a total of 9 ladies and 9 men walking. So even if they step down, that severly throws off my numbers. Not to mention, one of them was supposed to be my maid of honor.

I'm pretty sure despite how big or "flowery" your BMs will be, you'll still be married at the end of the day. That should count for something, right?

My FH and I always stay in the background giving everyone else the spotlight. We are both Police Officers who rarely ever get to really dress up or have anything be about us. This is our one day, and I feel like it's being taken from us. I don't want to sound like a brat, but we are paying a lot of money for this one day.

Well here is the good news. In order for them to have discovered the pregnancy, they have to be at least a few weeks along. Right now is January 3, so if they are already 3-4 weeks along, they will definitely have given birth by October.

Theyll still have some baby fat, but they wont be pregnant.

Unless they just got pregnant today, I doubt any of them will still be pregnant at your wedding if 10/3 is your date. They will all probably have given birth which poses different issues, in that they'll have newborns. It would seem like they probably won't be able to be there, which is definitely a disappointment, but it might make sense to start preparing yourself for that now.

Three bridesmaids!! Holy cow!

My MOH just found out she was pregnant so she'll have a little bump at the wedding.

Jackie - thanks for doing the math! It may not be what you pictured - but in the end does it really change anything?

I'm just so upset. I don't want to change my date or have to lose so many people

You're not being a brat at all, I agree wth you 100% I would be upset too. I think you should have a talk with them and if there going to be that far along by your wedding day the best option is for them to step down now and not wait to the last minute. I just had a similar situations and my BM stepped down (it was her decision) and I added one of my cousins to replace her.

One of my bridesmaids is due exactly a week before my wedding!!! She says she's getting induced though. I'm more jealous than anything!

I need to drink whatever they've been drinking!!!!

Sorry, and that sucks... but you can't expect your BMs to put their life on hold for your wedding day. As Allison said, they will have already had their babies by your wedding date which could pose whole new problems such as confidence issues in their dresses, or just plain out exhaustion from having a new born. No one ever said that bridal parties had to have an even amount of people.

Girl, I feel your pain! 3 out of 6 of mine were pregnant! We had a joke going, any girl looking to get pregnant, just join my bridal party! I had one girl that had to drop out because she would be 8 months and couldn't travel the 8 hours. I had one that was 7 month's a rocked a tight dress (embracing the bump-I loved it!) and 6 inch wedges and my SIL was about 4 month's couldn't really tell with her. The two maids at the end were pregnant.

Wasn't really what I planned, but not much I could do with them but embrace it!

I'm sorry this is going to sound really mean, but really? They're pregnant. They didn't do it on purpose to ruin your day. If they did, then they don't have any business being in your bridal party OR being pregnant.

I mean as long as they didn't hide the knowledge from you about trying to get pregnant it isn't that big of a deal. These three children that are now in their mothers bellies are probably more shocking for them than for you.

I'm sure all of these ladies will do the best they can to be in your wedding, and they could always wear different dresses from the bridesmaids that aren't pregnant. Looking down the road I am sure you will look back, and notice the joy that can be found in this. I just found out yesterday that one of four of my bridesmaids is pregnant, and will be six-seven months pregnant for my wedding (this is her third child). But I am excited for her and for me because she is going to have a little baby

And instead of having her as one bridesmaid I can count her as two, and make all kinds of fun out of the situation because she would laugh along.

Good news date twin! We are 9 months out from our weddings today. So if they are already pregnant, they probably will not be pregnant for the wedding! Nursing...maybe?

Emily, I don't really think calling her a brat is necessary. She said she is happy for them, and just wanted to vent. Chill.

Emily didn't call her a brat, she said she's acting like one. Prefacing something with I'm happy for them doesn't make it less bratty. Just because someone is venting doesn't mean people can't respond honestly. If you don't want responses then don't post.
