hi, this is my first pregnancy. i calculated on the internet how far along i am, and i believe i am about 5 weeks. im going to be getting married in early march so i should be around 15 or 16 weeks by then. i was curious as to how much weight most women put on by the 15th or 16th week. i don't know when i should buy my wedding dress or how big i should buy it. thanks for your help. ↓

| It really depends. Some women have a little pooch by then - and some have an actual belly. I wouldn't plan to wear a lace up bodice or corest top dress if I were you... but if your dress has got an empire waist, or top that's not completely fitted then you should be fine. ↑ |

My belly is unusually large - but I have a picture of it at 18 weeks (the one in the black bra marked "month 5") on my website. You'll probably be a little smaller than that.

Maybe some other women have pictures of their 4-5 month bellies as well that they could share? ↑ |

I would weight right before your wedding, or even get something with a empire waist so you wont have to worry about something tight on your waist.
I was fine at 14 & 15 weeks, then rest was down hill from that.
Are you putting on weight now? I didn't at the begining but now my belly has popped for sure.
Everyone carries different too. ↑ |

| my brother was married when I was about 15 weeks along. We had the fittings before I knew that I was pregnant. I fit into the dress just fine. The only real change was that my boobs were bigger. Really though it is different for each person. Oh also we wore strapless fitted gowns so the waist were snug. ↑ |

| it really depends. im 23weeks along right now and ive only gained 2 lbs. i asked my doctor if it was okay that im not gaining much and she said its fine as long as im eattng healthy. Which i am. But i have a friend whos a week ahead of me and shes already gained 17 lbs. So as long as you eat healthy and walk at night you prob wont gain too much weight by then. i lost 6 lbs my first 4 months and then my last appt i finally gained 8 lbs.. over all though ive only gained 2 (: Good Luck with everything though! ↑ |

| Iam in my 4th mnth now and i have lost 9 pounds altogether . Doc said its ok to lose weight at the initial phase but got to gain weight next mnth onwards. Do you have nausea ? if yes you wont gain much weight during 15th or 16th week . The tummy might be slightly visible but only you can see though . ↑ |

| thanks for the help/suggestions. sounds like i will be buying something that is loose around the waist or stretches. so far i havent had any nausea yet, so my eating patterns havent changed too much. im keeping my fingers crossed that i wont have too bad of nausea. ↑ |

| Dont even say it louder that you dont have nausea it may catch hold of you LOL:) i guess ur idea of stretch around the waist must be good .Good luck on your wedding ↑ |

| I would get what you like and guy it a size larger. It can be taken in or let out if needed. between now and then stay active and eat good foods and you should be ok. Don't get something you don't like just because it stretches or you will be upset in the long run. It is your wedding day so make it what you want it to be. Best wishes to ya ↑ |

| If you go with an empire waist dress you should be fine. Most of the time at 15 or 16 weeks one will not be showing or they will just be starting to show. However there are a few girls who do. I would talk to the place where you are going to order your dress from, they should be able to help you out when deciding on a dress. ↑ |
