A bride and pregnant

This is a questions for the moms out there. I hope someone can ease my mind.

My fianc? and I just found out a few weeks ago that we?re expecting our first child in June. We?re both very happy and excited, but now we?re not sure what to do about our wedding. I have my dream dress, the venue, everything. If we keep the wedding day, I?ll be 7 months pregnant; definitely will not able to fit into my dress. I still want my dream wedding, so we decided to push the date until after the baby arrives. We would really like to push the wedding until the fall, like September-ish, my colors and theme will still work in the fall. I wonder though if 3 months is enough time for my body to bounce back from being pregnant to wedding dress ready.

Any thoughts? I?m stuck between planning it for a fall wedding or pushing a full year until the next April, which seems like an eternity away.

    I got engaged in dec. planned a June wedding, bought my dress in jan. found out we were expecting, ate healthy, got married in the same dress I bought (size 8) had my DD in September. 

    It is possible, I mean you don't have to gain alot when pregnant. Just eat healthy talk tO your doc.  I only gained 40lbs 

    Also... I'm soooooooo glad we got married before baby. I still had my dream wedding, and didn't have to worry where my baby was!

    Hey :) We're pretty much in the same boat!  I'm getting married next september and I'm due June 5th!  I have always wanted a fall wedding so I didn't think about changing my date for a second.  My goal is to not gain more that 25 pounds during the pregnancy and to do the Briadalicious Boot Camp over the summer with my best friend.  I think that you can absolutely do it with the right support system and attitude.  Private message me if you want to talk more!  I'm DIYing a lot to save money for baby too :)
    Success is not for the chosen few but for the few who choose.

    We're in the same boat. We had the wedding planned for July 26 and all of our vendors were paid and the venue was booked. We found out we're expecting, I'm 7 weeks pregnant and the projected due date is a week after the wedding was scheuled. We did have to move the wedding back to September, so the baby will be almost 2 months. All of our vendors understood and didn't charge us any extra for changing the date. I also am worried about the weight gain. Just try to eat healthy and stay active as much as you can, even if it's just walking 30 minutes a day. I ran before I got pregnant and my doctor said it's ok to do a light jog for now. Good luck with everything!

    I just had my first baby in July. I was 125lbs before pregnant and two days before our LO was born I was 150lbs. I immediately lost 20lbs, I recommend you eat as healthy as possible during your pregnancy. I rarely ever really indulged (although I don't think I was the typical pregnant woman with lots of cravings etc) . This will help loose it faster, just eat healthy and lots of water. 

    I also recommend you wear a tight belly band after you deliver, it will help (it did for me atleast) to get your figure back. At your 6 week post-partum appt you will most likely get cleared to begin working out. Also, if you breastfeed that can help with some of the weight. Eat lots of veggies & water too! Congratulations on your wedding! and Good luck!! =)

    I did it! DS was about 3 months old. I was 120 before I got pregnant. I gained about 25-30 lbs while pregnant. When I checked into the hospital I was 147. When I left the hospital 6 days later I was almost 160. I don't even know how that is possible. lol. 3 months later I was down to 125-128. I had my dress altered last minute. She did the length about a month before the wedding but waited to alter the waist until 1 week before the wedding. It fit perfectly! I was stoked. It's definitely possible. I didn't diet or anything. I just ate healthy and tried not sit on the couch all day Big Smile I had a c-section so I couldn't exercise much at that point.
