She wrote: "My best friend is getting married next December and has asked me and another of our childhood friends to be bridesmaids.

"To provide a bit of context I had a really traumatic late miscarriage in august which DF [dear friend] knew about, and I was always open about wanting to TTC [try to conceive] again once me and my husband were ready.

"Fast forward to now and DF asked me to be bridesmaid last week which I was so happy about. I was talking to her today about being worried we would not conceive again or suffer another loss and her only reply was, ‘you are not allowed to get pregnant before the wedding, I will be really angry with you’.


"The wedding is still a year away and I really don’t want to put our TTC plans on hold for that long but I feel like now if I do get pregnant it will be overshadowed by the feeling of disappointing my DF.

"I really don’t want any bad feelings around this potential pregnancy as I will be so lucky just to carry a healthy baby and I don’t want anything to get in the way of that happiness.

"Sorry for the essay but basically AIBU [Am I being unreasonable] to feel really upset about this situation?"

The post quickly gained attraction with hundreds of people flooding to the comments to support the poster.

One wrote: "Oh my god! Bridezilla alert. That's so ridiculous I don't know where to begin."

A second said: "OP [original poster] you are clearly not being unreasonable, your conception plans are absolutely nothing to do with your friend. Good luck with your pregnancy journey."

A third replied" "Yep. Tell her she's an immature loon. Her hen do will be a nightmare. She will be a horrible bridezilla. She has no consideration for you. Walk away. Selfish cow."

A fourth said: "Sorry for your loss. Your friend is being absolutely ridiculous, her life isn't more important than yours."

And other rallied round her: "I hope she was joking! If she wasn’t it’s taking bridezillaness to the next level. Don’t put your plans on hold. I’m sorry for your loss and wish you lots of luck."
