when to get dress if pregnant now?

l, on August 3, 2013 at 3:56 PM Posted in Married Life 1 10

I just found out I'm pregnant so we are going to try to push our date back to September, it would've been June 1, 2014, because it looks like I'll be due around April. Now I don't know when to get the dress. Do I get it now before I'm showing and hopefully I'll be back around this size when we get married? This was unexpected Smiley smile

    First, congratulations! I would shop now just to get an idea of I wanted, and just in case the dress you love take 6 - 8 months.

    Most official dress boutiques has baby bumps to try on under your dress

    Congratulations on the baby news. If you buy your dress now get it about a size or two bigger than what you are now if you are a size 10 for example get a size 12 or 14, you know just in case you dont lose the baby weight fast. Then after the baby you can have it altered down to your size then. Or just buy your dress after the baby is born in June if you don't mind buying it just 3 to 4 months before your new date. I had my baby in April 2011 and lost all my baby weight within a month. I've since gained 15lbs and intend to lose it by next year in October so when I buy my dress in November ill buy it for my current size or a size bigger just in case things don't go according to plan lol.

    Well it depends on what store you go to. I went to DB in March for my June wedding. So I think if you can go in June after you have the baby that should give you enough time, but I would maybe asks shops and see what they say.

    Thanks guys. I don't know if it's crazy to do it so soon after but neither of us wanted to wait to the following summer. I just hope my body at least somewhat cooperates.

    L.g I also just found out that I'm pregnant. Also will be due in April 2014. We were barely starting the wedding planning or sharing with our families that we're ready to plan. Thankfully, we didn't get far in the planning and there were no deposits made. My question to you is do you think we should get married before the baby comes or before I even start showing (Nov 13)? Or just wait till after the baby comes. Because I honestly am tired, not as excited, once I found out the wedding plans went out the window mentally lol. Please advise thanks! And Congrats!

    I am in the same boat. I just started getting my wedding plans together and then found out I was pregnant. I am due May2014 and orginially had my wedding date for October 2014. I was thinking to push it back even further to make sure I would be able to loose the baby weight, or get it over with November 2013. I'm just not sure how big I would be by then. I have been so stressed and, as like Ms. R., not excited anymore. Its all now rushed and I don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice please let me know......

    Sorry I didn't see your post sooner Ms. R or I would've responded. I don't think you necessarily have to get married before the baby comes or before you start to show. The planning process can be half the fun so to have to rush it would make it less enjoyable and one day you might think I would have done it differently. I saw a picture of a friend of a friend who got married after recently giving birth and she looked great and the baby adorable so I don't think that's a bad option. I'm also pretty tired now and nauseous most of the time so I've paused planning. I guess we're still going to aim for September. I still haven't contacted the venue. I've been putting that off but I don't know how I'll lose all the weight. They say you lose like 15 pounds after delivery and if you breastfeed you can lose it fairly quickly. Fingers crossed. Good luck.

    If I were you Heather I would wait. Its not like youre getting married because youre pregnant. I wouldn't rush it especially if youre just not up for it right now. I have the same worries about losing the weight considering I wanted to lose 20lbs to begin with. I guess I should get my butt moving and contact the venue but Ive been procrastinating because a baby is enough of an expense let alone throwing a wedding into the mix. Theres the possibilty they may not move the date so maybe Ill forfeit my deposit. Im still not sure when to have it hence the procrastinating. There's beautiful dresses that disguise flaws if all the weight isnt off and like I said to Ms. R I recently saw pictures of a bride who had a newborn and she looked fabulous. Im saying gave birth like 2 months before, and it was really sweet to see the baby dressed up and in the pictures. Im glad there's at least others in the same boat.
