Possibly Pregnant Bride to Be

I really dont have any advice. but i think you'll be beautiful glowing bride if you are pregnant! if it is too much too soon that sucks. But babies are a miracle of God and he put that little peanut in your life for a reason! i think it would be a positive change! if it turns out your not, and thats what you wanted, then you'll be ok! if you are, congrats!

Well there isn't really much you can do right now, you just have to wait the two days and find out for sure. If it is really driving you nuts and you are having trouble waiting and you know that you don't want to chance being big and pregnant at your wedding, look at the plans you have so far and try to decided if it is possible to move it up or back.

You could always just change the date! Or, have a civil wedding before the baby, and then have a big wedding after the birth. It would just mean a slight change of plans, but wait until you have the test. It could also just be stress!

Well, you can either bump the wedding up, or move it till next year or very shortly after the baby is born (my cousin was preggers 3-4 weeks after being engaged, they waited 6 months after the baby was born). And make sure you take the test as soon as you're able to, there are tests out there that you can take 4-5 days before your predicted period, so perhaps you could take one of those. And try not to stress out about it (I know, harder siad than done). I'm here if you need to talk, And congrats by the way.

Well if you are pregnant congrats! You guys could have a civil ceremony early and then after the little one comes have a vow renewal or just a reception. Or you could still have your wedding on 8/21 and when you show your child the pics you can tell them they were the guest of honor and point to your belly.

You could move the weddin up like julybride said. Thats a great idea!

It could also just be stress, sometime when I am really stressed (like last fall after a close relative of mine died) I had an "invisible period" which is basically what you explained where you pretty much just skip it for the month and have a heavier one the next, and with planning a wedding I don't think any of us can say that we aren't stressed.

That's funny kshively.....

I don't think moving it up is an option, i got an AWESOME deal on my reception, and we already paid half (well my dad did. My dress is perfect, fits my like a glove in the right places, people have put in vacation time. I just wanted to have a good time and if I am I'll just be the big pregnant lady in back with swollen feet. I'm stressing over a situation that hasn't even came yet, thanks for the advice ALL.

And from what my doctor had told me about these invisible periods, they are even more likely to happen with women of a lower body weight and those that consume less dairy (I think she said it had to do with less calcium.)

Don't jump the gun. Worrying about it can actually cause you to miss your period. Stay cool and try to be patient. I know that is easier said than done but a lot of women have break through bleeding that is normal. Secondly you'll barely be 6 months pregnant at your wedding date if you are pregnant. The three to six month range is the easiest part of pregnancy for many. I know every pregnancy is different but I didn't even begin to show until then. If you go with the right style of dress it may not even be detectable as long as you're careful about how much weight you gain. And yes contrary to popular belief you can help control your weight! It is still safe for pregnant women to exercise it can even make delivery easier and while dieting isn't a good suggestion a balanced diet is what is best for both you and the baby. Some weight gain is unavoidable but it does not have to be a huge number! Just be sure to talk to your doc b4 beginning to exercise!

Well I'm not exactly low in body weight if you know what I mean. It could definently be from stress though. I just don't usually spot between periods, so that was a little weird, but I was never planning a wedding either so that could explain it.

Wxcept you already have your gown you might not be too large on your wedding day. I looked like a beach ball for my first and third child. but with my middle child at nine months I looked maybe 6 due to the way I carried him. I say don't worry. If you get positive result get into your dr right way to make sure its not a false positive.

I think I'm more nervous about my big day being more about the pregnancy...Is that selfish? I just want to be a beautiful bride.

Don't get worried or stressed until you know for sure. I don't knowhow many times I've worked myself up for no good reason. Just wait until you find out for sure. If you are pregnant, think about the civil ceremony sooner and a reception/vow renewal after the baby.

Well Congrats if you are!!! No matter what you will be a beautiful bride...and i agree with LovelyUnique Everything happens for a reason!

Well, if you are pregnant, worrying about it won't fix the situation right now, but if you aren't it can cause your period to skip and show other signs of a baby (stupid mind tricks lol). You have 6 months to come up with a plan and work it out. Your venue may be much more willing to work with you because of the baby than you may think.

Oh goodness! i completely understand. i'd be about ready to hyperventilate. how long do you have to wait to take a test?

Are you taking any types of bc? If so, sometimes bc and stress can make a period go out of sync.

Well like many have said everything does happen for a reason and things like this can happen do to stress. Planning a wedding can definately bring that on at times. You could do the bumping up of the ceremony and all that but if you did get a great deal on the reception and such then just keep the day. You will be a beautiful bride none the less. Hope everything works out for you.

Hey Kimberly

We are actually getting married the same day, Congratulations. I don't think you should worry yourself just yet. Take it easy. If you are prenant try to move up the date. Even though you put a down payment on the venue, there is a possibility the date can be changed. It's all up to you. It will all work out for the best.
