I've agreed to be matron of honour at a friend's wedding next July. The thing is, DH and I have kind of decided that we will start TTC DC2 when DS turns one in February. My friend is now keen to start getting me measured up for a dress as her MIL is making three of them so will need quite a lot of time. DH and I kept the fact that we were TTC DS very private as we didn't want the pressure of other people knowing, so I'm reluctant to tell her that there's a chance I might be pregnant. Although I got pregnant very quickly with DS I'm aware that things might not be so fast next time so it might not even be an issue. My friend doesn't have any children herself, and isn't really a 'child person' so I'm not sure how much she'd understand if I confided in her. I've got no problems with doing the matron of honour duties whilst pregnant, I wouldn't be any more than 6 months even if I got pregnant in February so not about to pop, but I think she'd be understandably pretty annoyed if I got measured for a dress, then it all had to be altered.
My current thoughts are that I will tell her that DH and I are perhaps thinking of TTC sometime next year, but we're not sure yet, but TBH I'm not even sure how comfortable I am sharing this info. I know I should cross this bridge when I come to it, but I'm also wondering if I was lucky enough to become pregnant before the wedding, how soon to tell her. We kept my first pregnancy virtually entirely to ourselves until the 12 week scan as I just couldn't face the thought of 'untelling' people if things went wrong.
