'Groom furious I've stolen bride's wedding limelight because I'm pregnant'
A pregnant mother-of-one who nearly had a miscarriage has asked fellow social media users if she's right to allow her mother-in-law to stay and watch over her when she should be helping organise her sister-in-law's wedding.
The woman told Reddit users that medics have insisted she has to get a lot of bed rest and do nothing strenuous, so her husband's mum has offered to stay with her instead of returning to her own country to look after planning the nuptials. She says that her mother-in-law will still be back for most of the month before the wedding, so won't miss the last-minute organisation or the bridal shower.
But despite what doctors have told her, her sister-in-law's groom has now attacked her saying she is "sabotaging" the wedding, that she is being "over-dramatic and I’m too young to need bed rest and I’m sabotaging their wedding because I can’t be bothered to look after the child I already have and that I don’t need accommodation for the one in me".
The distressed woman told other users of the popular site that even her bride-to-be sister-in-law was happy for her mum to stay and look after her. She said: "I admit my mental state is very emotional right now. I got hospitalised twice with a threatened miscarriage and while baby and I are thankfully okay, I’ve been put on bedrest. Mother-in-law offered to stay with us until February, when we would’ve travelled to their home for the wedding anyway.
"She will still be there for most of a month before the wedding, she just won’t be available to do running around errands in January. I feel bad because my mother-in-law has been the driving force in organising the wedding and I guess I could just figure things out and deal with the consequences. I don’t want to be the reason my sister-in-law’s wedding ends up slapdash or indeed keep her parents away from her in her last month as a singleton."

And other users of the site agreed with her, with one saying: "Gynecology nurse here planning a wedding. Not the a******. You do not owe the dumba** groom an explanation. You do what your doctor says and take care of yourself. Anyone has a problem with that, it’s their issue. I have seen perfectly healthy women only survive by sheer luck. Most of them disobeyed the guidelines we gave them because ‘they’re healthy’ and ‘women give birth all the time’. Yes they do, but people drive in cars every day, doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous."
And another said: "Is this fiancé a doctor? Is he experienced with complicated pregnancies? Is he getting stuck with more planning and is complaining because mother-in-law isn't there to handle the details? The nerve of this guy. Mother-in-law is doing this willingly so fiancé needs to step up and quit his griping."
And a third said: "You've been put on bed rest and the groom thinks you can take care of your existing child? I'm going to take wild guess and say he's not familiar with dealing with kids. I know my six-year-old would DESTROY the house if I'm stuck in bed. If your sister-in-law is OK with your mother-in-law being there I would block the groom and ignore what he says."
