You'll have a slight telling of it

By week 6 with my third child I was in maternity clothes.... and my normal weight is 115 lbs at 5'2". With my second I was showing by three months. With my first I was showing at around the end of 4 begining of 5.
I guess what I'm trying to say is everyone is different. With this being your third, I would think that surely you'll be showing. But if your kids ages (from the youngest to your pregnancy now) is more than 6 years apart it could be different. Your body may grow as if it were your first all over again because it has been so long since you gave birth.
Congrats on your growing family and God bless!

I was five months pregnant with my first at my wedding and I was definately showing. When I picked out my wedding dress, I told the bridal store how far along I'd be and they said to buy a dress two sizes bigger because it's always easier to take the dress in than to let it out. I'm glad I did because it only had to be taken in a little on the sleeves and around the chest. As for the wedding pictures, my flowers covered my stomach in most of them so you couldn't really tell. Now I'm pregnant again and began showing a lot sooner than with my first. Seeing as this is your third child, I would imagine you would be showing at your wedding, but no worries because there are two great reasons to celebrate! Congratulations!

I'm five months pregnant with my first child. Naked, it's obvious. Clothed, not so much. I have hips that now look weird in my black dress pants, but they still fit and look good, so I wear them. Even on Saturday, my friends (all of whom are older than my 29 years and most of whom have grown children and even grand children and I think with a couple of them, a great-grandchild or two) were telling me how thin I still look. I was thin to begin with, at six feet 165. Two people at church, whom we thought knew, either us telling them or hearing it from others, just found out this week. On Easter, I wore a fitted skirt suit and a friend commented the next day that I looked skinny in it. (We were at our monthly Bible study.) I proudly pulled up my blouse and tightened my pants against my baby bulge and showed it off.
Sunday, I wore a size 14 skirt that I saved from my bigger days with a fitted blouse. I just looked pudgy (especially since I was wearing my control top hose; they were uncomfortable, but they're run free and as long as they stay that way, I don't have to buy more). Yesterday, I wore a pair of low cut shorts, also 14s left from my bigger days with a navy blue long sleeved Tshirt. I also looked a little pudgy in those.
No wonder people didn't know.
Anyway, my friends have told me that they started showing more with each consecutive kid. Well, one has said that because she's tall, too (a couple of inches shorter than me), she didn't really start showing until late in each pregnancy.
If you're worried about showing, just find a nice fitted dress or something that will hide it. If you don't want to go with the traditional dress, try a suit. Even when I wear a blazer with jeans, I look thinner, as it's the cut of the blazer that does it.
(On the ohter hand, I was not a virgin on my wedding day, and my husbnad wasn't my first. However, we were celebate during our pre-marital realationship so I felt it was okay to wear white. Plus, I think my mom, who bought my dress preferred me in white.)
Anyway, I hope my rambling helps.

You will be showing, for sure.
Maybe if you choose a floofy dress with an empire waist or something you can minimize it.
If you get so big you can't hide it, celebrate it instead. You are getting married to a man you love AND bringing forth another life into the world. Wrap that tummy with a pink sash and bow, like its your gift to the world, and wear it proudly. Just see it as something to celebrate and be happy about. You are experiencing two of the most joyful moments in life at the same time. Revel in it.
But I think the main thing you have to worry about is investing thousands of dollars in a dress that can't be altered or fitted if your body changes. Find something that gives your stomach lots of room (as in a high empire waist) or something easy to alter, or just wait til the last few weeks to get the dress.
By the way,
Congratulations.
I would choose something with a high waist line, under the bust instead of around the tummy.

Hunny, buy a bigger dress. with the 3rd baby you will show sooner than you did with the first 2. I was 6 weeks pregnant with baby 5 in my mid 30's and the secretary at work asked if I was pregnant. I didn't plan on telling anyone, but didn't lie to her.
Congratulations on the baby and on the upcoming wedding!

I think it's fairly likely that you'll be somewhat showing by then. If you take the style of the dress into account, you can probably choose one that will minimize your tummy if that's a concern for you. Given that you're thin and this is your 3rd- I think you'll probably be starting to show at that point.
Just enjoy your day, it's likely that people will know soon enough anyway.

Probably a little bit, I would suggest getting a dress close to your wedding, if you have not already gotten one. There are many styles that could be flattering and cover up the bump (if that is what you are wishing for) there are also wedding dresses designed for maternity to show off your bump, but you will probably be too tiny still for them.
Congrats!

it is possible, i showed a little earlier in my second pregnancy. i would try to keep in shape and eat right. That will help with the baby bulge. It would probably be just a cute little bump that looks like you had a large breakfast.
also dependning on the type of wedding dress, it might not show

well, 5 months after your wedding people will do the math and figure out that you were pregnant at the wedding, u might have to get your dress altered a little bit to fit your growing belly!
congrats on getting married and the baby !

you'll begin to gain weight but it might not be totally noticeable yet. However...you'll definitely want to talk to your dress boutique to get a pregnancy panel put in...but since it is your third pregnancy, your stomach muscles aren't as strong and you'll probably show sooner than most.
this is my first pregnancy and I didn't start to look "pregnant" until 6 months, however I did start to gain weight around my midsection starting at 3-4 months.
