FUCK. Pregnant 2 months before wedding. How bad is this?

[OhFuckity]

I get married at the beginning of September and have just had a positive pregnancy test...

I feel bloody stupid saying 'it was an accident', but it was!

How bad is this going to be? I have my dress and everything already

I don’t think it will be that bad at all. First baby pregnancies often don’t show for the first 4/5 months (16 weeks plus) and perhaps your dress could be let out a little if needed or you can carry a big bouquet!
Congratulations- it’s nice your baby wanted to be part of mummy and daddy’s wedding day!!

How pregnant are you?

I have no experience of pregnancy, but I know for a lot of my friends; they didn't start to show until later on with their first. It doesn't seem uncommon to not be showing at 12 weeks.

Oh and my out of wedlock pregnant is described now as a surprise rather than a mistake- less harsh for the child really. 😂

Well you won't get drunk and make a show of yourself so there's that!! Plus you won't be really showing then so no need to worry about the dress. Congratulations!!! Remember this is bigger than your wedding

I am happy really. I don't mean to sound like I'm not.

But selfishly concerned about my dress too I love it so much and can't wait to wear it! I'll be gutted if I can't get in it. It's a corset type top as well so very tight fitting! Ahhhhh

Not a problem. You probably won't be showing.

How pregnant are you?

I only tested because I was a couple of days late so not very.

If your only 5 weeks and it’s your first then it’ll be fine. If your 3 months and it’s your second or third then you might start to show! Everyone is different.
Don’t panic. Congratulations. Enjoy, in years to come you won’t look back and think you regretted it because of a dress.

In that case you won’t show. It’s more that you can’t get sloshed on your hen do and obviously it all going ok between now and then.

Yes it would be my first. Phew okay sounds like I don't need to worry too much then!

Don't know how I'll manage the first dance without some liquid courage

I was 8 week pregnant with twins when I got married and it didn't show at all. Congratulations, enjoy your wedding

obviously it all going ok between now and then

Yes there is that of course, I have miscarried before so always a worry at the back of my mind.

Do you have a final fitting? If not and not purchased in a bridal shop, it may be worth making an appointment for closer to the time, just to make sure everything fits as you would like. Yes you're unlikely to be showing with 1st preg/stage you would be at but it also means you cover all bases and make sure the dress is perfect for the big day

I'm getting married in August and will be 17 weeks pregnant. Im currently 14 weeks and not showing yet so you'll be fine 😊

Congratulations!
If you are in good shape which i assume you are as choosing a coset style dress you probably wont show at all!

I didn't start to show with my first pregnancy until I was at least 16 weeks - but I wasn't wearing a skin tight corset in front of loads of people . To make you feel any better, can you speak to a dressmaker to see how much give there could be, should you need it?

A corset may be perfect, if you are showing it'll be pretty much down to bloating only anyway. It may just look like you've had 3 slices of toast, which a corset should be able to deal with!

If it's laced then it will be fine, if it's zip then I suggest you try it on 2 weeks before the wedding and make sure it fits comfortably. I didn't wear maternity clothes until 25 weeks with dd1, and 20 weeks with dd2 as a guide

Sorry OP didn’t mean to worry you. But you know how these things are. Just because it’s happened before doesn’t mean it will again

I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant with my second and not really showing apart from a bit of bloating.

If you’re slim you’ll likely be fine. Some of the larger ladies on my Facebook pregnancy group already look reeeeally pregnant for some reason!

I hardly drank at my wedding, which was not my intention I promise you! Had a glass of prosecco and half a glass of wine, what with talking to loads of people and the adrenaline carrying me through I didn't even notice til the end of the night - depending on your views on alcohol and pregnancy you could have a mini-glass to celebrate

And congratulations on baby and wedding!!

Congratulations! What a lovely thing thing to happen. The Grampies will be thrilled.

A friend had the same predicament. She had her wedding dress taken out a bit and wore it a little higher (it was a sleeveless bodice style) and all was well.
You only wear it for a few hours and can even change pretty soon after the ceremony so it's not the end of the world.

Apart from that, you'll just have to take things a little easier on the day itself. Everyone will understand.

I was 8 weeks at my wedding. I had actually lost weight as one of my earliest symptoms was loss of appetite (followed by horrendous morning sickness that began the week after the wedding!). You should be fine.

I am slim but had put on 4kg by 8 weeks in both my first and second pregnancies, so you might be fine but you might need the dress let out a bit depending on bloating. There is usually lots of extra material so I can’t see it being a problem.

Also I know it’s completely not your intention, but speaking as someone who has just miscarried their much-wanted baby, your thread title is a little hard to swallow.

I was like 16 weeks pregnant with my second at my wedding two months ago. Also not planned!
But my dress fit, just about and I even managed to have a half glass of fizz and really enjoy myself!
Hopefully you will have your first scan done and any nausea will stay away! Good luck and congrats
