I tell them to check back closer to that date. Let her know exactly what is going on and she will understand. I am pretty straightforward with parents about spots. My current DCM asked for a spot for her unborn child September 2019 and I told her that luckily my infant spot opens in September but that a lot can happen between now and then so it is not guaranteed. She also asked for my space with her first child about 6 months in advance and I told her to check back, which she did and fortunately my infant spot was still unfilled so she took it.
