Cutting it fine.. am I completely delulu
So for context one of my best friends gets married august 27th and I’m due august 30th.. I’m one of her bridesmaids and I want to be there for her 1000000% and I’ve told her multiple times if she wants to replace me with someone else she can and there will be no hard feelings at all! She has refused though (she’s a veryyy chill person!) Basically I guess the question is, am I completely delusional for thinking that this could work out? This is my second baby, my first basically had to be evicted and even that induction took a full week! I feel like I’m a very optimistic person but I know obviously there’s so way I can know for sure what’s going to happen! I just don’t want to let her down!!
If anyone’s already had two babies, how was your second compared with your first? Was it a similar birth or did they come earlier/later? My heads falling off 🤣

😅 tough situation! 3 days before due date I personally wouldn’t chance it - I was induced at 37W with my first and he came 37 + 5. Can’t speak from experience as I’m pregnant with my second as well but I’ve heard if the first came early it’s likely to happen again. Either way too close for comfort if it’ll affect the bride saying yes now and not being able to go in the end
As long as your friend knows all the details then there's no harm hoping for the best but being prepared it might not work out.
I got married almost a year ago and didn't have any bridesmaids but if I had and were in that situation I'd have just told them be there if you can and if you can't then no worries. You say she's chill so if she's the same as me then she won't mind
I had people have to not come to my wedding for a number of reasons and they were missed but we totally understood. We have people still talking about our wedding, now, due to how relaxed and enjoyable it was
So it really is up to you as to whether you're comfortable potentially being heavily pregnant but knowing baby may have their own plans
Do you need to travel for the wedding? That’d be a factor for me, so close to the due date, I’d want to stay in town I case I go into labor.
I am in a similar predicament - not a bridesmaid but a guest at one of my closest friends wedding. She’s getting married literally on my due date! I so desperately want to be there for her but the wedding is 3 hours from home so I think I have to be realistic 😭
I'm in exactly the same position. Bridesmaid 3 days before due date. I've been very open and given her options the same as you and she just wants to carry on as normal and play it by ear. We've ordered my dress and we'll see what the situation is nearer the time. Obviously I won't take any risks on the day but if I feel up to it and no sign of baby I will definitely go for as much of it as I can. I would love to at least see her get married if it's possible. But neither of us are putting any pressure on it. What will be will be. It is only 15/20 minutes from my house as well and is in the direction of the hospital.
