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

You’ll be fine. First pregnancies take a while to “show” in most people’s experiences. I was 5.5mths when DH and I eloped and it was literally on the morning of our wedding that I suddenly “popped” with this little pot belly. Even with #2 I didn’t show until about 20~ weeks and I’m currently 27wks with #3 and it’s only just become obvious in the last couple of weeks.

Lots of exercise to strengthen your abs.

My cousin gave birth unexpectedly, she exercises a lot - running and horse riding and no one realised she was pregnant.

How she didn't notice having no periods who known but if she was in a box of fish knives she wouldn't be the sharpest in the box.

Looks wise you'll be fine. Like pps I also didn't show until 20 weeks with dc1.

Feeling wise, I'd see how you are feeling with a view to postponing. I felt like absolute death and getting through the day would have been a pointless trial instead of a lovely happy day.

Congratulations! It's really not that bad. Your dress can be altered to disguise a stomach growth and you decline champagne etc or ensure you're served a similar looking non alcoholic fizzy drink.

If you want to keep weight off but be healthy then no harm in healthy eating but safely do pre-natal exercise classes like yoga etc. That's what I did. (but was married when got pregnant).

I think you are unlikely to show to. But you might go up few bra sizes. Arrange for a final fitting, just in case.

I was showing a bit (e.g. small stomach) with my first but was 9 stone at the time. Boobs grew a cup size bigger but not much else at 12 weeks.

I think it will depend on your body.

I was a size 6 (/size 8ish hips) when I got pregnant and by 3 months I was already buying trousers with a wider waist.

With a corset, you can tighten it, but it might be uncomfortable.
On the other hand, if it has buttons or similar, you could probably transform it into a laced one. And if it doesn't close properly, you can probably add some fabric between the two sides, so it doesn't show off too much skin and it's less obvious that it doesn't fit well.

I lost half a stone in my first trimester. You'll be OK

Congratulations 🎊 xxxxxx

Yes actually I lost weight too - I was so sick, all day long, every day, for the first 16+ weeks. I actually weighed less when i had had my daughter than I did at the start of my pregnancy. So you might actually find that your dress is more roomy rather than less!

Whatever happens it’ll be fine and you’ll be able to sort out a solution if needed.

I probably misunderstood the post, but please don't work on your abs when you are pregnant!

Exercise is great, but that is the very last thing you want to do!

I get married in less Than a month. I had already got dress and everything. Its a bit tight as now nearly 12 week ls but changing the dress isn't an Option financially plus means changing the shoes and everything

I lost half a stone in my first trimester. You'll be OK

Not everybody is like you. There's no way to know if the OP will be ok based on your particular experience.

I certainly didn't lose weight, and didn't get a narrower waist.

Hi.
I know not everyone will lose half a stone. I never said they would.

I said OP will be OK. OK doesn't have to mean no weight change.

As you can see from the variety of experiences here there's no way of knowing how quickly your body will change, and in what way. I put on loads of weight in my first trimester but then nothing for the rest of the pregnancy, despite having quite a big baby. So by my third trimester I was very slim but with giant boobs G cup boobs and a giant bump. Also I started showing very early even though it was my first pregnancy. I think by 14 weeks I was in maternity clothes.

Either way, your body is going to change. I would just make sure you're staying as healthy as possible and book in another dress fitting close to the day, that way she can make the necessary alterations for you. At such an early stage in the pregnancy you probably aren't going to have changed so dramatically that your dress couldn't be altered.

You'll be fine.

Also - congratulations!

How bad is it? You have (I assume) the person of your dreams who you want to spend your life with and a baby on the way. Who cares if it’s harder to find a dress or you have to sit down instead of spending the reception dancing. Wishing you a happy life together

Please call your pregnancy a surprise not an accident. An accident is something bad and a surprise is something wonderful. I had my surprise at almost 40.😂😂

I showed at about 9 weeks. I got married when was 24 weeks and had a maternity wedding dress

You may be showing OP!
