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 didn’t drink much more than a glass of fizz for the toast. I was so excited on the day I just didn’t want alcohol to dim any of the emotions.

I doubt you’ll be showing much either.

Congratulations for wedding and your surprise news!

You'll be absolutely fine. Congratulations!

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'm really sorry, that wasn't my intention at all but I can see now how it could look.

I'm not sure if you read in one of my other posts but I miscarried before too so I do worry myself. I'd hate to have caused upset to someone in that situation so I apologise

Monica I think that’s unnecessarily harsh. You could say the same about anyone complaining about morning sickness etc etc.

You won't be showing but might have awful morning sickness at that stage. Fingers crossed you'll be one of the lucky ones. I was 20 weeks pregnant on my wedding day and only started showing the week before which meant I had to panic buy another dress online!

You very likely won't be showing. This is me at 24 weeks with my first pregnancy. Only just started showing around 22 weeks.

If it's a place up corset it should be fine because you can just let it out a bit. I didn't show with my first until at least 4 or 5 months and I think that's quite common with a first baby.

The dress will be fine. Just hope you don't get bad sickness, as walking up the aisle with a bucket wouldn't be a good look (I had to postpone my wedding for that exact reason ).

If anything I was lighter at 8 weeks than before conception due to the vomiting. Just be prepared for everyone to guess if you puke don't drink. And congratulations, on two counts!

Your abdomen is unlikely to be showing, but some women find their breasts grow quite early in pregnancy, so think about underwear and the bust area as well as just the waist.

If you suffer morning sickness or first trimester tiredness, that would be peak period for it but there’s nothing you can do about it except take things as easy as you need.

Best wishes.

I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby on my wedding day, and it was fine. I didn't show, and my dress was forgiving in the bust area which is where things had started to grow! I had no bump. The only problem was that people kept giving me celebratory glasses of fizz which I had to accept, take a minuscule sip from, and then discreetly 'forget' on a table. (Only 3-4 people knew, as I wasn't ready to broadcast it).

Happily, morning sickness hadn't kicked in yet, though it did so with a vengeance the week after!

I don't think you can guarantee not showing, even with your first. I was very slim before my first, and was showing enough by 12 weeks some coworkers had guessed I was pregnant. I'd probably only gone up a size - but only on my waist, nowhere else. By 20 weeks I had a proper bump. I think it varies depending on how you carry - for me it all goes forwards. You may also find your bust gets bigger, so it's not just the waist that is a potential problem.

When do you get your dress to try it on? Have you got a seamstress lined up for adjustments that you could talk to about it?

We started trying for a baby after we booked the wedding. I'd assumed it would take us a couple of cycles because I'd been on contraception for ages bar about 6 months when we'd tried previously and nothing happened.
BOOM, flour weeks later I was pregnant. 16 weeks for the wedding, it was all fine, bar the morning sickness. And yes, I did need a new dress.

Thank you! Seems like I'm just going to have to wait and see.

I didn't need any alterations to my dress, I have it at home already so no 'fittings' to go to as such.

I will get my friend to help me try it on a few times on the run up I think.

You're unlikely to have any kind of bump at that stage but be prepared for possible boob growth. By that stage I had already gone from a 32c to a 32DD! Although if your dress is corset style you could maybe just lace the top part more loosely if needs be..

Congratulations. You should be fine! Don't panic if you get a bit bloated in the early weeks, i was horrendously bloated and looked bigger at 6-8 weeks than i did at 12 weeks with both my pregnancies. I hope all goes well for you.

Everyone is different. I was definitely showing at 8 weeks both times. We told people straight away any way but it was very obvious.

You might feel a little nauseous but almost definitely won’t be showing at that stage with your first.

Congratulations!

I Was 12weeks at my wedding, still fit in my dress wasn’t showing at all, slight morning sickness but didn’t ruin the day at all, we told everybody in my husbands speech it was perfect! Still went on my long haul honeymoon too, don’t worry and CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats!!
Don't worry about the dress. Honestly, a good seamstress can work absolute miracles with these things.
Just look for an alterations place.
Good luck!

Congratulations! This was me 2 years ago. Also a surprise pregnancy. I was 16 weeks on my wedding day and didn’t show at all...I think see you go closer to the time and see if you need to amend your dress. But otherwise, enjoy 😀

Have you told the groom-to-be? What was his reaction??!! This is so exciting. I love babies and weddings, and this is like a double whammy of joy!

Well at over 12 weeks you’ll at least be able to tell people.

It’s hard to know about showing. Some people bloat a lot. I wasn’t looking overly pregnant but was at least a size bigger at 3 months with my second but with my first I was pretty much the same size. But then when a bump came it developed into a big bump quite quickly!

It’ll be fine! I stitched my best friend into her wedding dress as the top button didn’t quite reach as she had a surprise pregnancy. It is still one of my favorite moments as only she, I and her DH to be knew.
She had the most amazing wedding day and the joy on her parents face when she whispered it to them later that day is a sight I will treasure forever.

You very likely won't be showing. This is me at 24 weeks with my first pregnancy.

That's you though! I'm
Slim but was still enormous at 24 weeks with my first baby. Not fat - all bump! I carry big babies and have very big sticky-out bumps.

OP how many weeks will you be?
