A bride-to-be and four of her bridesmaids have found themselves all pregnant at the same time.

Sophie Hare, 27, who is getting married in Leadenham, Lincolnshire, on Saturday, said she was really looking forward to sharing her big day with her bump buddy bridesmaids.

She said it would make the day even more special.

Ms Hare and her fiancé, Ross Booth, 35, found out they were expecting their baby in late December.

After sharing the news, Ms Hare said she found out her friend, Rachel Fletcher, 30, was also pregnant and they were a week apart.

Ms Hare's sister-in-law, Amber Freeman, 26, and friend, Annabel Forrest, 27, also announced in December 2023 that they were expecting, too.

Her other sister-in-law, Megan Booth, 29, found out she was expecting in October.

Ms Hare, who is due to give birth in September 2024, said she was "really excited" to be sharing the experience of becoming a mother at the same time as her friends and seeing the children grow up together as best friends.

Ms Hare, who runs a salon in Ruskington, said most of her friends lived locally, so it was easy for them to meet up.
