     pregnant, do we tell the Pastor  

Is it best to tell the Pastor that I am pregnant when we go meet with him to discuss our wedding?

  In my opinion, this is a personal choice. Do you have a personal relationship with your pastor? If you feel you want him/her to know, or you wish to discuss it with him/her or need counseling, then do. If If you are showing, or will be showing at the time of the ceremony, it might be a good idea. If you are overjoyed about the pregnancy and everyone at the family knows about it, and you wish to make mention of it during the ceremony (i.e. include a blessing upon your new family), then do. Otherwise, you can certainly keep it to yourself.

God bless your marriage and the new life growing within you.

I fully agree with Rev. Susanna. This is a very personal choice and there are no "shoulds" here. Do what is right for yourself, your partner and what honors this precious new life.
