Spin-off on my thread on maid of honor and being a godmother.
-
I had a maid and matron. My matron of honor is dealing with IF and so has understandably not been super involved. My MOH has been great, but more as a regular friend, not specifically about my pregnancy. Another close friend of mine has been much more interested and involved.
-
She planned my shower from MD. I live in NC. She doesn't have kids, though so I didn't talk to her about pregnancy at all.
-
They were my sisters and they were pretty involved! One lives in town and one out of town so obviously the one who lives closer was more involved.
-
Not at all. My matron was my cousin, and she didn't ever call or anything. She only would ask questions when we saw each other for family events. Does the same now that R is here.
-
My MAN of honor is super excited, but also incredibly clueless. He asked me around 6 weeks if I knew what the baby was yet, lol. He also said "hey if anyone plans you a shower, let me know and I'll come." He has warned me though that he intends to incredibly spoil the baby.
-
For DS, she wasn't there much, cause I lived far. But, for the last one, she came to my shower and gifted me things. I don't need her to dote on me, though.
-
My moh was my cousin who i'm very close to she had a daughter last april and i'm the baby's godmother i'm also moh in her wedding in July. She's been involved since about 7-8 weeks and is so very excited. She's also a nurse so she checks in on me health wise as well
-
My MOH was my sister, and she's very excited to be an aunt.
-
My MOH was my older sister and she is as involved as she can be, but we live 4 hours away and she has a 2 year old. She's given me plenty of advice and we talk about the pregnancy, and she is hosting my baby shower, so yeah, i'd say she is involved.
-
Pretty much not at all..I think she saw me once during my whole pregnancy. She and her mum threw one of my showers, but I don't think she really had anything to do with it. I don't mean for this to sound bitter, but I got the sense she wasn't overly happy for me (she got married a year before me and I think she wanted to have children before me, but she decided to focus more on her career for the moment).
-
I had both a maid (my sister) and matron (my best friend) of honor and they were both heavily involved in my pregnancy. My sister and I are a little over a year apart in age and we are friends--she planned my baby shower and this is her first niece. (First kid among my siblings).
Although my best friend lives in another state, we text, e-mail, IM, and call each other regularly. My godson was 3 months old when I got pregnant so she was and still is a valuable resource for me. Love that girl.
-
My MOH was my sister and she was very excited about my pregnancy and planned my shower with my mom aunts. She is even more involved now that DD is here - I can't wait for her to have kids some day (hopefully soon!).
@mrscb - I think men are better with babies than with pregnancy. At my baby shower (35 weeks) my brother, who I am actually pretty close to, said to my mom and my sister "it's a girl, right?". Um, everyone had known for months that it was a girl and we were at a fairly pink party! I think the whole thing was very abstract to him until his niece was born
-
I had a maid and a matron and they both basically fell off the face of the planet after the wedding.
-
The girl I originally asked to be my MOH turned down the title to just be a regular bm because she was going through optometry school. She's pretty involved and constantly asks what's new. She's also help planning my baby shower!
The girl that ended up being my MOH isn't involved at all. She'll inquire how things are when I see her, but other than that - crickets chirping.
-
she willl be very involved...she is my sister...and she is very excited for our little caterpillar...
-
She was in the beginning with DS, but then she suffered a MC when I was about 5 months, and understandably became distant during the rest of my pregnancy.
-
She always asks how things are going. However she lives out of province so she can't really be that involved. BUT she is moving back here in a month or so and then hopefully she can be even MORE involved!!!!!!!!!!
-
My sister was my MOH and is currently the most excited aunt to be in the world...I'm lucky she lives close by!
-
She planned my baby shower for LO and checked on me often for both pregnancies. She came over the day we brought home baby 2!
-
I had two bridesmaids - my BFF and another close friend. My BFF (who I guess was a matron of honour, although we never used the title) has been super involved, asking and answering loads of questions, texting me after appointments, buying me little gifts (like mum-to-be pamper kits!) and she also gave me a huge load of hand-me-down baby stuff. My other BM hasn't really been involved at all - but she lives a couple of hours away and doesn't have children yet (I think she might be trying - which may explain the standoffishness).
-
my sister was my MOH, so she was involved!
-
Not much, she lives out of town and we are slowly losing touch.
-
I only had two girls in my wedding party - co-Matrons of Honor and they were as involved as they could be during my pregnancy considering they both had kids of their own (one lived over an hour away and the other lived across the country at the time). They were super excited for me b/c they were both done having kids (all boys) and I was pregnant with a girl. They gave awesome advice and were just very happy for me the entire time. They also threw me a baby shower, came to visit, etc.
-
Mine MOH was my best friend- she was super involved in my whole pregnancy. She checked in when I ha dr appts, bought me little presents along the way, and was overall pretty excited about his arrival. I was in labor for 3 days and she ce by the first day and brought my husband dinner and just hung out with us (while things weren't too bad!) And she gave me an Alex and a I Mom bracelet when he was born and blue diamond earrings (April birthstone is diamond and he is a boy! )
