Pregnant bridesmaid

One of my BM's is trying to get pregnant now so she should be around 5 or so months pregnant during my wedding. I just let her pick a bigger dress. I'm letting her wait till the very last minute, so that if she does have to alter it, she has time.

But I'd also ask her, 8 month is more than 5, so it might be uncomfortable for her to stand, can she sit?

That's a good question. If we get married outside, like we are planning unless the weather is bad, FH and I will be standing at the top of a staircase while the bridal party sort of tiers down on the steps, if that makes sense.

I have a bridesmaid who will be 8 months pregnant at my wedding. She said she wants to be there for me and is going to try her best to stand during the ceremony. She is one of my closest friends and I am very happy for her. I let her order a maternity bridesmaid dress and told her she could have a chair behind her and if she needed to sit down, then do it! I really want her there and she wants to be there so we will make it work

Haley is there a site you used to find the maternity bm dress? I tried to find one with my current designer so that the colors would at least match, but, I honestly don't think they're very becoming.

My MOH will be 8 1/2. I told her she didn't have to do anything that she felt she couldn't handle, including traveling to my wedding. She said she wouldn't miss it or skip out on any of the events for anything in the world I'd just be honest with her and see what she says... as long as she's up for it, I say let her!

Ash - definitely. The last thing I want is for her to feel that I don't want her up there. I'll just ask her what she wants to do and I'm sure there's a solution for the dress. What did your MOH end up doing?

Just pick out a few dresses together. If you cannot use the same dress in a bigger size, find a similar dress perhaps in a different fabric but same color for her to wear?

At my first wedding, my MOH was 7 months pregnant. She ordered her dress bigger, and the style lent itself well to the alterations. Re standing etc, the first time around, I was married in July. It was hotter than hell, which should have been a clue as to what the marriage would be like. She had no issues.

I am pretty certain Alfred Angelo has some maternity dresses.

Good luck!

I would ask her what she would prefer to do. That way there are no misunderstandings.

I was 8 months pregnant in my sister's wedding. I ordered the dress 2 sizes larger, and the bridal shop also ordered extra material, which they used to make panels for my expanding waistline, lol! She had me stand at the end of the bridesmaid line, so I was at the bottom of the steps. Only once during a long prayer did I feel a little "faint" so I was able to sit down in the front pew for the couple of minutes that the prayer lasted. I was up and smiling before it was over :-) If you really want her, and she really wants to be in your wedding, it is doable!!

My MOH is going to have her baby like 3 weeks before my wedding. We were completely unsure of how her body would be afterward so we just ordered the dress as if she'd be 9 months prego. Of course she'll need to get it altered, but better safe than sorry! They can always take dresses in but taking them out is pretty rough.

Hey I didn't realize we are date twins! :-) Ya I'd just ask her what she wants to do..I doubt she will be offended, and will probably be relieved that you asked..I just found out my cousin and GM and his wife are expecting in November..I plan on just making it known to him that I understand if anything comes up closer to the date and he needs to stay in his hometown with his wife I'd understand..I know my friend's cousin will be 8 months pregnant and is still standing at her wedding; I think everyone has different preferences. Good luck!

My personal attendant was very pregnant. She got her dress and was able to alter it to right before the wedding. It looked amazing. She says she got it online at motherhood.

I was actually about 7 months pregnant when I was in my sister's wedding. I didn't have a problem standing up nor taking pictures. As for the dress we had to get a bigger size but I was able to get it altered. But you should ask her and see what she say. Also for my wedding, one of my BMs just told me she was bigger, she found out right before she ordered her dress, so luckily she got a bigger size dress.
