Dear Queenie,
I am pregnant and my baby is due on or around the date my brother is getting married. His fiancée is furious about this because I may not be able to attend the ceremony at the last minute or, if I do, I might go into labor right then and there and take all the attention away from her.
Queenie, what’s the best thing to do – stay away or take a chance and go?—Pregnant sister
Dear Sister,
I hesitate to give advice in this matter, because whatever I say, your baby may take matters into his or her own hands.
First, consult your obstetrician for an answer to your question. Then tell your future sister-in-law, “My doctor says ... .” Or, if the doctor’s advice is not indisputable, put the question to her and abide by her decision (I will bet she tells you to plan on staying away).
And congratulations on your upcoming blessed event!
