Why I am having a panic attack...

So I just realized I will be just shy of 12 weeks for a wedding I am a part of in October. My dress should be in any day now and I'm praying it will fit me!!! This is my 5th pregnancy so I know my body is going to be showing by then. Cue freak out!!! 

Feel free to share your freak out moments too! I know I'm not alone!

    @LeslieCHNC I’m in a wedding in January.  I got my dress in the day before I found out I was pregnant.  Whoops!  Luckily it flows out from just under the bust line so there’s room to grow.

    @LeslieCHNC just curious. This is my second pregnancy and does the bloat belly start to show right away? I feel like I can't hide this pregnancy for much longer and I'm only 7 weeks. Plus my pelvis is starting to hurt after walking and such. My baby is 15 months old so it hasn't been very long.

    @LeslieCHNC don't freak out, seamstresses can work some real magic when they need to!  I was in a wedding at 12 weeks last year and I had to wear a fitted mermaid bridesmaids dress.  The seamstress I went to had me come in as close to the wedding as possible and she made sure the dress fit and hid my little bump so nobody would know.  The worst part was feeling like hot garbage most of the day, but the dress was a non-issue.

    @Kateriee the bloat is real but your muscles are also going to be looser the second time around so they don't hold the bloat in as well. 
    @Piccola1988 Thankfully my dress came in and still fits. I'd forgotten that there was a bit of stretch to the material so I am good. 

    My panic has now shifted to the impending hurricane... We are in for some rough weather here in the Carolina's! Praying for all those in the coastal areas.

    @LeslieCHNC I'm in SC and my sister is at Fort Bragg in NC. Sis can't go anywhere until the base gives evacuation orders. Here we're just preparing as much as we can and waiting for the flood of people coming inland from the coast. I feel like we're doing ok until I start getting messages from well-meaning friends and family talking about how scared they are for us and such. It's nice that they're concerned, but those messages do nothing to help.

    @LeslieCHNC is it a loose or fitted dress?  And I’m sure any good seamstress can help you out. My mom was 12 weeks pregnant with my sister for my aunts wedding. My aunt made all the dresses and already had to redo my other aunt’s because she was expecting too. So my mom refused to tell anyone until after the wedding lol. 

    Ive been having some panic attacks already thinking of delivery. I had a traumatic delivery with my second. I ended up hemorrhaging and needing two blood transfusions. So with worry about that happening again along with the high possibility of getting preeclampsia again I have been super stressed out.

    I'm having a pregnancy brain induced freak out; I never miss appointments, and this morning I totally forgot that I had an acupressure appointment scheduled (I thought it was this evening), and now I have to pay a $60 fee AND I'm going to have to put up with being more nauseous, miserable and anxious without the acupressure. Uuuuggghhhh.

    @chrissdee I know right!? I've had like three calls today offing from friends and family for us to come to them. We're just going to ride it out here in Raleigh. Most of our friends who are in coastal areas are under evacuations and heading out and to ride out the storm. 
    Hope you fare well down in SC!

    @molecularmolly were you able to call and explain you mixed up the times?  Maybe they won’t charge you if it’s the first time it happened.

    @LeslieCHNC and @chrissdee stay safe and dry!

    @Kateriee I’m just shy of 9 weeks and I SWEAR I’ve got a pregnant belly going on. It’s not bloat. So you might be getting close to showing. Highly recommend busting out the snoogle for nighttime if you’re already having pelvis pain.

    I have a work wedding to go to tomorrow and many of my employees will be there and when they see me not drinking I know at least some will figure it out.  I'm just not really ready to tell my office yet especially since I was just out on maternity leave a year ago.

    @roo1381 try drinking just cranberry juice on ice or ask for drinks without the special sauce . It will look like your drinking but nope! This is going to be my plan in a few weeks! Only DH, myself and the guy serving the drinks will know ;)

    @LeslieCHNC this was my plan for a wedding over Labor Day too. I basically made comments to whomever was next to me at the bar that I was pacing myself, but the comments were never to the same person.
