Pregnant Bridesmaid

If she’s important to you and you want her by your side on the big day then ask her. There’s no guarantee she will be pregnant and if she is there are dress styles that will work for her. The only the she needs to participate in, is wear the dress and stand next to you (she could even sit if she needed too). If your concerned about complications you can always talk to her and see what she would like to do.

Personally, I would let it be. As long as she can participate the day of, that's all that really matters. My MOH became pregnant in the midst of my wedding planning. I asked her if she wanted to just be a guest, and she said absolutely not. She has been great, and she will be 7 months at the wedding. The only thing she can't do is drink alcohol and eat unpasteurized soft cheeses 🤷‍♀️. She was able to exchange her dress, and otherwise it has been exciting as we get to add something else we are super excited for. People's lives don't stop just because they're in a wedding. I would talk to her and ask if she wants to be a bridesmaid given the possibility of being pregnant. Let her decide if it will be too much for her.

View Quoted Comment Thanks a lot. I really want her to be there but she even has doubts about being apart of my bridal party because she doesn’t want to be pregnant and can’t 100% be there for me. Which I get it.

I would leave it up to her. If she's comfortable being pregnant and a bridesmaid, let her. She can still be super supportive. You shouldn't stress out if 1) she's not even pregnant yet or 2) she is still willing to participate. See how things go and just have contingency plan. At least it's better than these other bridesmaid horror stories we all read. Good luck and congrats!

View Quoted Comment Yeah your right about that. Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Oh please, you're welcome. It's easy to stress out and worry. Sometimes j know I worry about things because I'm worried about other things and I just start to spiral. Your day will be great no matter what, just stress about it when you have to. Hugs.

View Quoted Comment Aww thanks again hun ❤️❤️❤️

I have two pregnant bridesmaids who are giving birth this summer. I have a third bridesmaid who is a newly wed, and I regularly tell her not to get pregnant before September. While I don't have an issue with anyone being pregnant in my wedding, it is a destination wedding, so they'll at least have to be able to fly.

I would let her make the decision, especially if she isn’t pregnant yet. Basically something along the lines of “I really want you as a bridesmaid, but I understand your situation and if that happens and you decide to not be in the wedding, I am 100% ok with it”. I planned on my sister being pregnant at our wedding and unfortunately for her, it hasn’t happened yet. When we ordered bridesmaid dresses she made sure that she could exchange it if need be.

I would just talk to her about it, would she be okay being a bridesmaid if she was pregnant? Could she afford it? I think it's super odd NOT to ask someone just because they MIGHT be pregnant. Plenty of pregnant women are bridesmaids.
