Bridesmaid 2 weeks after due date..is it possible?

I agree with all the others - it I think it would be too much stress on you. Maybe you could offer to do a reading so that if you have to pull out it's not hard to get a replacement.

You may be two weeks overdue and not be in any mood to be a BM! Or you could be in hospital while the wedding is on. I was supposed to be in a bridal party one week before my DS was due, I pulled out of the wedding, it actually wasn't an option once I was pregnant as my friend didn't want the hassle of worrying about me as well as her big day.

DS came two weeks early. My husband was the best man, it was my friend marrying his brother!! and we had to leave the hospital one day early (as I wanted my husband to come home with us and the day after was the wedding day) and I ended up going to the ceremony only as it was around the corner from home. It was utterly exhausting just doing that and I would recommend not to go in it. Newborns need to feed every hour or two, maybe three and they don't give much warning. Just a giant scream! Good luck with whatever you decide.

I went 3 days over my due date with DS, natural delivery and I was out shopping within 5 days of his birth, not nearly as full on as a wedding but if all goes well with the birth i think it could be do-able if you have a family member to look after the baby while you do your BM thing and your partner there for support. Make sure you have some good breast pads in and spares and lots and lots of toilet breaks for the bleeding. The problem will be that you don't know how the birth will go or how you will cope with a newborn, could your friend have a backup BM if things don't go to plan? Having the dresses made though might be an issue with that......

Congratulations on your pregnancy, welcome to BB and Good luck with your decision
