Hey,
Me and my partner have been trying for a baby, no luck yet but its still early, but we're also getting married on November 28th, and if i do manage to get pregnant before then, how many weeks after will the pregnancy effect my waight? (trying to fit into my dress and all).... also is it possible to get pregnant whislt on your period? Thanks xXx

I didn't start to get my baby bump till I was about 3 1/2-4 months.

I'm bigger than the normal sized girl because I was a state swimmer for 5+ years, and I have alot of muscle on me- but-- after I quit the team some of that muscle turned into fat I guess, so I wasn't so "Buff & Cut" like I used to be. lol.
But I was still slendar-ish.
My tummy was always flat though, so that's why I showed sooner.
My friend, was the same height, and about the same weight as myself, but she was all flab. So she didn't start showing till she was about 5 1/2 months.

Like these ladies said, it all depends on your build... if you're bigger, you're not gunna show as soon.
If you're tiny, you can show as early as 10 weeks.

You gatta remember that until you hit your 2nd trimester, that lil baby is only between microscopic, and really, no bigger than a quarter.
Once you hit 12 weeks, that's when the baby REALLY starts growing alot.

So just keep that in mind.

I'm getting married a month before I'm due, so be glad you won't look like a fat COW on your wedding day. LOL

Every pregnancy is different but normally like someone else said around 10 weeks, although i was about 15 weeks before the weight actually affected my clothes.

Ive already got my dress, but that would be goo adivce (buying the dress after we decided to start) hmm okay well if it helps i'm quite short, and slim build but naturaly curvy, with big boobs. Oh dear, hmm so its between 8-20 weeks.... well the wedding isn't till 20 weeks so i guess its just up to luck! xXx

I didnt start showing until I was 25 or so weeks but I did gain weight before then...obvious weight.  It just didnt look like a baby bump.  That is a hard one because it isnt like you can diet for a few weeks before the wedding to fit in the dress when you are prego.  I would say wait as long as you can to buy your dress.  maybe pick some out in different sizes so you know what you are dealing with and ask what the shortest amount of time before your wedding you can purchase the gown is.  Good Luck and enjoy!

Congrats on getting married. How soon you start showing really just depend on your body size, build and when the baby is positioned. I'm 5'4 1/2 weighted 95 pre pregnancy and didn't start gaining weight or showing until after 20 weeks.

each woman is different. smaller women tend to show earlier b/c they are soo tiny and weight gain is more visable as were larger women may not look pregnant or gain weight for quite some time. with my first son i didnt show until about 4months and with my 2nd i began showing at13wks and currently i was showing around 8wks! congrats on getting married by the way :)

its not really possibl to get pregnant while your on your period. very very few women will ovulate that quickly! so i would say no.

and at like 10 weeks it looked like i was gaining weight. it all depends
