moh planning to be pregnant and due around my wedding 2 years away

Hi Siobhan, fellow Autumn 2025 in Ireland bride here. I don't think you're being unreasonable to think these thoughts privately but you couldn't express it to her. Ultimately when someone wants to extend a family it's their choice and there may be financial/personal factors why she feels that time is best for her. It's nearly best she said it as opposed to just thought it in her head.

If you raised it to her thread carefully as you could potentially lose a relationship if she feels attacked, as this is a hypothetical situation could you maybe address it with her in that maybe she might want to step down from being your MOH as she may not be available to assist you?

Wishing you every success with this difficult situation!

I would not worry too much about it at this stage. It's all very well planning to get pregnant at a specific time, but babies don't always come to order - it may take her longer than expected to get pregnant, or she may end up having a baby much earlier, and either way, it wouldn't cause an issue with your wedding.

There may be very good reasons why she is hoping to conceive next year - she may be dealing with heath and/or financial implications that you know nothing about.

Hi girl,

Getting married in Aug of this year. My sister in law who is one of my bridesmaids is pregnant and due around the same time as my wedding so not sure if she will even be present. My MOH who happened to be my sister is also trying to get pregnant so will most likely be pregnant around my wedding. Another one of my bridesmaids has to travel abroad to see family at the time of my wedding so she won't be coming at all. So to be completely honest with you, life does not stop happening just because of our weddings! We have to adjust as best as we can so we do not stress ourselves out. Life is too short, honestly don't stress yourself out even if it happens just be happy for the person and that's all. If she makes it to the wedding great, if not then that's also fine. Enjoy your day as best as you can, I have heard it goes by so fast.

It’s understandable to feel conflicted, but life plans like family can’t always align perfectly with wedding timelines, even with lots of notice. Try not to treat it like scheduling through a cold calling agency london relationships need flexibility, not fixed slots.
