Hi everyone!

I’m due to get married in 3 weeks (4th date due to Covid!) and will be 26 weeks pregnant - I feel like I’ve massively let myself go and now I’m panicking that I have 3 weeks to get back to how I was looking pre-baby.

I know it’s such a silly thought but I just can’t shake the idea I’ve not exercised and been eating rubbish most of the time 😩 my bump isn’t huge at all but I feel like it’s just going on everywhere else.

Might just be my hormones but needed to get it off my chest. Will I pop massively in the next three weeks before our big day? 😞

Hey OP, congratulations on your pregnancy and your upcoming wedding! Smile

I got married when I was 27 weeks pregnant with my first and it was lovely. I did put on a bit of weight around my face with my first pregnancy and I'll be honest, when I got our photos back from the photographer I cried! 🙈 But it's four years on now and I can see that they're actually quite lovely, I was just a bit of a hormonal mess.

You probably don't look nearly as bad as you think you do - chances are you won't suddenly get loads bigger in the next few weeks. Not only will you have bridal radiance but you'll have a lovely pregnancy glow too! You'll be positively shining! Wink

Lots of luck to you, I hope you have the best day. 💕

@Halo431 I got married 3 weeks ago at 34 weeks. I wore an off white/pale blush bridesmaid dress in a size 16 (I’m normally a 6!) and had it altered to fit perfectly.

It was the perfect day although I was a bit worried about looking bigger around my face/arms etc but I think I noticed it more than others.

Baby kicked loads during the pregnancy and whilst we said our vows my husband had one hand on mine and the other on my bump. Was a really special moment.

@buckingmad. Awww amazing that sounds so so lovely. I am really excited for the day & bump to be apart of it. I just worry about others opinions & feeling blah

Congratulations on your wedding day! X
