Need some dress advice. Kind of panicked

Congratulations on the baby! I hate to say this, but you will probably need a new dress. Google 16 weeks pregnant and look at the images. Do you have room to let your dress out?

How exciting!! Maybe you could find an alternative dress as a "just in case". If you arent really showing and your current dress still works, then I would wear it.. But having a backup could prevent the stress.. maybe an A-Line? Congrats!!

Congratulations! I would definitely look for a backup dress especially since you said the dress is form fitting. I went about 1 month before my wedding to a bridal salon to look for an after party dress and left with a different wedding dress because I completely fell in love with it. The dress was only like $250 which was even better and my original dress was shortened and I wore it to the after party. The reason I am telling you this is because things can be done in a short time frame even though it isn't ideal. Amazon actually has some really pretty dresses that aren't all that expensive.

First off, CONGRATS!. Definitely a blessing. Second, I agree to look for a back up dress to be on the safe side. Also, with your original dress, you can always wear it for when you do a vow renewal ceremony.

Aww! Are you okay with people seeing the bump and knowing about your pregnancy? Then I think, go for it!! I would love to see a bride with a little baby bump It warms my heart just thinking about it. I think that you should check with your seamstress to see if there is anything that can be done to give you room before getting another dress. Whatever you decide, it'll be great!

Congratulations!!! In my opinion, a new baby is always good news!!

As for your dress, it's really hard to say if/how it will fit because every woman's body is different. At 16 weeks, you will most likely have a little bump, but not huge. If your dress is really form fitting, you may want to get something in a different style, like with an empire waist, or an A-line. Also, a lot of women (myself included) gain a lot of weight in other areas of their body during pregnancy. Like your hips will start to widen, breasts get bigger, and I know when I was pregnant, my whole face got fuller and rounder. So it may not be just the tummy portion of the dress you need to worry about. Just to be safe, you may want to start looking at other styles, see what's out there, and what you can get off the rack, or on a super rush.

Good luck Mama!!

It really depends on your body shape and if you’ve had kids already. Usually you show quicker after the first child. If you’re tall you usually have a little more leeway. For my first I got pregnant in Beginning of June and no one noticed that I was pregnant until after Halloween. Even my second pregnancy I didn’t look pregnant until 18-20 weeks and for my 3rd I looked pregnant at 16-18 weeks but could pass it off as just having gained weight.

My sister is super fit. Ripped abs and she is currently due in November and just started to look pregnant in the middle of July but she went from no bump at all to suddenly super pregnant over night.

Congratulations on your baby! I didn't really start to show until I hit 20 weeks when I had my child, but every person is different so there's no telling what your body will look like. A backup dress would likely be a good idea, there would be nothing worse than getting to your wedding day in your chosen location and trying to put the dress on and having it not fit, and having no other option.
