Being Maid of Honour and TTC

[rosie563]

My sister has asked me to be her MOH. I'm thrilled, she was a fabulous MOH for me and I am so honoured to be asked to do the same in return. However, DH and I are thinking of TTC soon. DH is a teacher and in the first instance, we were hoping to try and aim for a due date around the summer holidays so that he could have a longer period of time off work with the baby when it is newborn. (I realise it doesn't work like this, it's unlikely I'd get pregnant straight off etc.) The wedding is around a month before the summer holidays and when speaking to DH this evening, I explained how I would want to try and avoid a due date very close to the wedding, so that I could fulfil my MOH in the way I want to. DH said we need to just do what's best for us and that my sister will understand. WWYD?

I’d warn your sister that you might be heavily pregnant / have a newborn and ask her what she wants you to do about being MoH.

Yep just let your sister know your plans.

If you fall before the wedding you'll have 8 months warning and will be able to work out if it's going to impact on you MofH duties for the big day. IYSWIM?

I gave up the chance to be a bridesmaid once for this exact reason, it took me 5 years to conceive in the end and I thoroughly wish I had accepted

I honestly think your worrying way to early until your actually pregnant it’s not really an issue! You could take ages to get pregnant!

Just make sure the moment you find out you are you tell your sister straight away so can make a plan.

Don’t stress her out for something that might not even be an issue!
