Decision Time: Should You Keep Your Pregnancy Under Wraps Until After Your Brother-in-Law’s Big Day?
As you count down the days until your brother-in-law’s wedding day, you’re probably already thinking about how to make this special occasion extra special. But amidst all the excitement, you’re also faced with a crucial decision: should you wait to announce your pregnancy until after the celebration?
The Pros and Cons of Waiting
Waiting until after the wedding to share the joyous news can be a thoughtful consideration, especially if you want to avoid stealing the spotlight from the happy couple. Here are a few pros to consider:
-
Focused attention on the newlyweds: By keeping your pregnancy private until after the wedding, you give your brother-in-law and his soon-to-be wife the attention and celebration they deserve on their special day.
-
Avoid potential awkwardness: Sometimes, sharing unexpected news can make things awkward for family members. Wait until after the wedding, and the focus will be on the newly married couple, not on your surprise reveal.
- Plan a special surprise: You can plan a special way to share the news after the wedding, maybe even with a fun announcement that will make the day even more unforgettable.
However, there are also some cons to waiting:
-
Family and friends won’t know how to react: Your loved ones might not have a chance to prepare themselves for the amazing news, which could lead to awkward questions or reactions.
- You may face criticism or skepticism: Uninvited opinions might cloud your special moment, making it essential to be prepared for potential criticism.
The Verdict: When Should You Share the News?
Ultimately, the decision to wait is yours. Consider your family dynamics and those closest to you. If you decide to wait, make sure to clear the air with your brother-in-law and his fiancée beforehand so they’re not caught off guard.

My (27F) husbands (27M) brother (21M) gets married next week, and we are both in the bridal party. I recently found out I was pregnant at the very beginning of August, and I am currently 8 weeks along. For the first few weeks after finding out, I wasn’t feeling nauseous at all, and thought maybe I was one of the lucky ones. At this point in time, my husband and I both agreed we wanted to wait to announce to family until after the wedding, especially his family, so that his brother and fiancé can have their special moment and not feel as though the news of pregnancy overshadows it. It’ll be the first grand baby on both sides.
While my nausea thus far has been mild and very off and on, yesterday it came full swing and today I am having extreme nausea and have been on the verge of vomiting all day. I’m trying not to worry, because we still have another week before the wedding, but I am terrified that the nausea will get worse and eventually turn into full blown sickness. I have yet to throw up, but my fear is walking down the aisle as one of her bridesmaids and throwing up while standing in front of everyone and completely ruining the ceremony.
We are going to a big family dinner in a few days to celebrate their upcoming wedding, and I have no idea where it’ll be at. I have an extreme aversion to meat right now. I feel like I’m overthinking all this, but it is my first pregnancy so I just don’t know what to expect. I really really didn’t want to announce before the wedding, but I would rather do that than everybody find out in a gross, humiliating way at the actual event.
I do have my first doctors appointment on Wednesday, just a few days before the wedding on Saturday. I’m unsure if the doctor will be willing to prescribe me something, even if it’s just to get me through that one day?
Right now I’m just trying to stay fed and see how my nausea reacts to that, and hold it out as long as I can. If it gets to a point where I can’t keep food down, I have no idea what to do. Should we tell them beforehand or should I wait until my doctors appointment and see if I get prescribed something?

I love everyones tips that they have included! Gosh personally with the wedding being so close, I would just wait and celebrate them. if it were further out, I don’t think it would be an issue. Of course if an incident happens at the wedding and you truly are feeling sick you can say something if needed, but I would just consider from the other perspective if your SIL were to announce the week of your wedding.
I personally would be thrilled to get the news of a new niece or nephew at any time, but there would be a SLIGHT part of me that would be upset for it to happen right at the week of my wedding, ya know?
Hard sour candy helped me a ton . Don’t tell unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. Let them Have their moment. I was mostly nauseous, I only threw up when I brushed my teeth on an empty stomach. My friend never threw up. Hopefully it’s more like that for you.
I wouldn’t tell them. Making the bride worry about something that may not even happen and no one has any control over isn’t a great idea. Also if you puke, most people aren’t going to immediately connect the dots of you being pregnant. People throw up for a lot of reasons. Especially at a wedding, nerves or booze will probably come to mind first.
Plus regardless of your intentions (I know they aren’t to upstage the bride and groom), word will travel fast and then people will be coming up to you at the wedding and congratulating you.
