18 week pregnant bride?

Question

Ok, so My fiancé and I had been trying for a few months with no luck.. so on January 1st we finally picked our wedding date and thought- it probs won’t happen this month! (We were still trying but had become a little disheartened over time)
Anyhoo... wedding is 14 weeks away and I’m now approx 4 weeks 3 days! (Woo!) 
So, my questions-any tips for keeping this lil poppy seed under wraps? Do core workouts help hold things in for longer so I won’t have to return my beautiful mermaid style wedding dress? Am I delusional to think I could still keep my dress and hide the bump?
Still can’t believe our first baby is coming!😍

Answer

Honestly, I wouldn’t do any intense core workout after being pregnant. But that is just me :)
Also, as a FTM I did not start showing till I was 20 weeks.

Answer

18 weeks right now and I would never be able to hide it. But this is my second baby.

Answer

Me at 18 weeks. I had a very flat stomach and a very strong core. I worked very physical jobs my entire life so my core ir was amazing.

Answer

Depends on your body shape honestly. With my daughter (first baby) I didn’t get a bump until 22 weeks, we’ll, my daughter is now 9.5 months old and I’m 11.5 weeks pregnant, and already have a bump 😂
I wasn’t this big with my daughter until 22 weeks!

Answer

I am 18 weeks with my first baby and this is my bump.....I had fairly tight core muscles prior to pregnancy, so you might be able to get away with it! Good luck.

Answer

I was 6 weeks pregnant at my wedding with an almost empire waist a-line. It had to be letout already! It wouldn’t zip otherwise.

Answer

I didn’t start showing until 21 weeks. Still had flat abs and a six pack at 18 weeks but everyone is different. I wouldn’t start doing a lot of core workouts, it can actually lead to some pretty serious issues after birth (diastasis recti where the abs do not go back together after birth). If you have been doing a lot of ab workouts you can continue to do them but I wouldn’t push it. I also felt uncomfortable doing ab workouts after about 12 weeks when the uterus starts coming up over the pubic bone.

Answer

Similar situation, I was 22 weeks when we wed. My boobies went up 3 cup sizes which wasn’t ideal, but I didn’t have a bump until 28 weeks 😅 
I would research a local seamstress you could have semi- on call for your scenario, so if you have to get some fabric added under the arms or down the side to help let out the bust or waist, you’re not stressing last-minute 😊

Answer

For me I didn’t start really showing or not being able to wear my clothes till 24 ish weeks.

Answer

It’s hard to say what you will look like; here I am at 5 and 18 weeks with my first.

As far as workouts, you need to be careful still. But I don’t know exactly what the guidelines are.
