Wedding to attend at 13 weeks- will I be showing?

Hi all!

I am pregnant with twins and only 6 weeks along.  I have a black tie wedding of a very close friend to attend when I will be 13 weeks.  I am trying to figure out if I will have a bump for 1. dress considerations and 2. whether to announce the pregnancy ahead of time to get it out there before I see everyone I know that night.

What do you think- will I be noticeably showing?

  • I wpuld say it depends. I am 13 weeks now with twins and i havr a very small bump. I am still wearing my clothes just look bigger in rhem now. I would say dont get a dress amd until closer to the wedding.
  • I had a tiny bump- it was really only noticeable to me.

    I was bloated at 13 weeks not a real bump. Looking back at pictures it was pretty noticeable. I'd go for something pretty loose and comfy.
  • I was showing at 13 weeks for sure.

    I was showing at 10 weeks, but you could be different. I would wait until a couple of weeks before the wedding to decide what to wear.
  • STM and I was showing at 13 weeks. Agree with PP to wait to get a dress until a little closer to the wedding.

  • I moved to maternity jeans at 13 weeks. I had a lot of bloating, but no one could tell I was pregnant- the mat jeans were just a lot more comfy!

  • I was minimally showing with triplets at 14 wks.
    March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • I wasn't showing but had gained some weight so go up a dress size or two and if you can find the right dress you won't need to announce yet!
  • I wasn't showing at that point yet!

    I was barely showing but I think it was only noticeable to me, not to anyone else. If you can wear something that's a little loose around the belly you probably will be able to get away with not announcing if you're not ready.
  • I was definitely showing at 13 weeks with twins. But everyone is different. Empire waist dresses hid it until later, but a dress that fell flat on my abdomen showed it. Also, I know for me it was easier to announce earlier so people stopped speculating as to why I wasn't drinking alcohol.
  • I was not showing at 13 weeks. I didn't really look pregnant until 17 or 18 weeks. But, as PP said, you may have a tough time as to why you aren't drinking if you haven't announced.

  • I am 13 weeks with twins and it is very obvious that I am pregnant. Last weekend I had to go buy maternity clothes because my regular ones wont fit anymore. Its like it happened overnight!

    I would buy a dress that is very loose on you!
