My sister's furious at me for 'sealing her spotlight' because I had medical emergency during her wedding

A new mom has revealed that her sister is accusing her of 'stealing the spotlight' because she had to be rushed to the hospital during her sibling's wedding. 

The unnamed woman took to Reddit to explain that her sister had recently tied the knot in a lavish wedding. 

In a thread titled, Am I The A**hole, she said that although she was 38 weeks pregnant, her doctor had cleared her to attend her sister's nuptials. 

The beginning of the ceremony went off without a hitch, however, things quickly turned sour when she began cramping. 

Soon enough, the expectant mother was bleeding and had to be rushed to the emergency room.

Naturally, many of her family members followed to make sure she was OK, as doctors revealed she would have to undergo an emergency C-section. 

Thankfully, the woman was OK and she delivered a healthy baby. 

However, her relationship with her sister took a hit as her sibling was 'furious' with her for grabbing everyone's attention with her medical emergency. 

The post was titled: 'Am I the a**hole for "stealing" my sister’s wedding spotlight with my emergency C-section?' 

She explained: 'This past weekend, my younger sister got married. It was a huge event - over 200 guests, a fancy venue, the works. 

'My husband and I attended, despite me being 38 weeks pregnant. 

'I was feeling fine, and my doctor had cleared me to go as long as I stayed close to home and didn’t overexert myself.

'During the reception, I started feeling some cramps. I thought they were just Braxton Hicks contractions, so I tried to ignore them and focus on the party. 

'About an hour in, the cramps got worse, and I started bleeding. 

'My husband and I quickly excused ourselves and headed to the hospital. 

'Long story short, I ended up needing an emergency C-section to deliver my son. Thankfully, everything went well, and our baby is healthy and safe.' 

Seemingly having no regards for her sister's health, the bride was left fuming when her family members left her special day to go to the hospital.  

'The issue? My sister is furious with me. She claims I "ruined her big day" because several family members left the wedding early to come to the hospital, including our parents, who understandably wanted to make sure I was OK,' continued the new mom. 

'She says I should have "waited until after the wedding" to go to the hospital, or at least not told anyone what was happening until the next day so the focus could stay on her.

'I apologized for the timing, but I reminded her that this was a medical emergency, and I didn’t exactly choose for it to happen during her wedding. 

'My mom and dad are on my side, but some of her friends and even a few relatives are saying I’m selfish and could have handled the situation differently.'

At the end of the post, she questioned if she was in the wrong for heading to the hospital. 

She said: 'My sister hasn’t spoken to me since, and now I’m wondering if I really did something wrong. 

'Am I the a**hole for going to the hospital during my sister’s wedding?' 

People on the web flooded the comments section and expressed their shock at the situation, while assuring her she was not in the wrong. 

One person said: 'Your sister is an idiot. End of story.' 

Someone else wrote: 'Not the a**hole, your sister lacks brains. What were you supposed to do absorb the baby or something? It was going to happen. You have nothing to apologize for.'

'Not the a**hole, but your sister certainly is,' another user added.  

A fourth person commented: 'Is she dumb? Does she know how pregnancy and delivery of baby works?'
