my little sister came over yesterday and she said she had something she had to tell me an i had to promise not to get angry. she then said she couldnt be my bridesmaid and i was gutted. i asked her why and she said her and her hubby were trying for a baby. my sis has never wanted kids and this was a bit of a shock but im so excited i cant wait to be an auntie again. i cant believe she thought id be angry that she couldnt be my bridesmaid because of this lol.

why will her trying for a baby stop her being your bridesmaid..when is the wedding?

she might not fall pregnant straight away, so it could work that she is only in the middle months come your wedding anyway. tell her your thrilled shes trying for a baby and you would still love her to be your bridesmaid

dont worry, I guessed itwasnt a moaning thread...can understand that your sister felt the need to tell you she was ttc, but shes perhaps being a bit previous assuming she cant be your bridesmaid!!, i can understand that she doesnt want to be a huge bridesmaid, but if she ends up being in the middle months, it probabl;y wouldnt be all that noticeable anyway..she should cross that bridge when she comes to it.

we just dont want to spend a fortune on the dress when it might not fit her. i said she doesnt have to have the exact dress the other bridesmaid has im sure we will find something even if it is from a tent shop lol by the way she gave me a slap for saying that

How exciting Starshaker! When we got engaged in July last year, I told my sister that we would be getting married in the following June abroad. She said that she and her hubby were going to try for a baby that month and she hoped it would happen quickly, it did and her youngest was just a couple of months old on our wedding day.

I was at a wedding recently where 3 of the 4 bridesmaids had told the bride that they hoped to be pregnant or to have just had babies by her wedding and she bought 6 dresses in all different sizes in the sales so they could decide at the last minute which was best for who! Seemed to work out ok, one was pregnant and the other two had tiny ones! .

tell her millets do a nice line in marquees..only joking..hopefully things will sort themselves out, if it comes to it, pwrhaps her dress could be left to the last min?

my sis wanted me to get pg before her wedding so she'd have a fat bridesmaid to stand next to!! or a baby flower girl/page boy. no joy yet though, knowing my luck i'll be a few weeks pg, puking everywhere, look blobby rather than glowing and not able to tell anyone why! (i hope ) the wedding is 6 months away now and she hasn't bought dresses for any of us yet (there are 5 BMs all together) because of me ttc.

Awwww, bless her - hope she falls soon! I was bridesmaid for my BF when I was 8 months PG with my 2nd - I wore a dress that was fitted at the bust and had plenty of room for Bump. I felt like a tank, but it was great not to have to worry about how my fat tummy / thighs looked next to the other beautiful skinny braidesmaids. I felt lovely and got lots of attention - everyone was so nice and made me feel comfortable - making sure I had enough food / drink etc I felt as pampered as the bride!!
