Bloated!!! How am I gonna keep baby a secret?.

[my1stbump]

5wk gone and I am HUGE today, even my DH mentioned I looked big. We are keeping it quiet till we get to 12wks after previous m/c but don't know how we will!??

Anyone else the same? X

I know women who are bloated and if ppl ask they just half be honest and say just mega bloated but don't give the cause.lol. I can never hide it as I always get very ill very early on

I'm 7 weeks and bloated and my boobs are BIGGER too. So far no ones asked. I have a don't ask don't tell policy as I too had a mc.

wear prints, dresses with bows in the front or other distracting embellishments.

avoid wearing empire waist clothing and anything fitted.

maybe you'll just have to hide out for a bit!

good luck

Most people have enough sense to keep their mouth shut, however family.. you never know if they might come out and ask.

I am 6 weeks and feeling extremely bloated as well. My SIL is 10 weeks and is also showing a bit.. She walked into the bank of our tiny town, and then bank lady says, oh boy are you expecting?! I couldn't believe it.. yikes.

Billowy tunic shirts are working for me

I was only 5 weeks when someone asked in the shop when I was due! and a customer asked me a few weeks ago what I was naming my baby lol. So in the end I ended up telling my family at 8 weeks. So a month earlier then I planned. Just stay away from tight clothing and white tops!

Am having to switch to loose shirts/tunics myself too. Told people I over indulged on vacation.

But I work with nurses, and last time they all knew, but were sweet enough to not say anything until I announced it at 12 weeks.

I'm pretty bloated too! Already look about 3 months gone! Leggings and looser tops r working for me. I think with second baby you get bigger faster!

I'm 12 weeks now, and am able to hide it so much more easily now than 1-2 months a go, as the bloating has really improved. Same happened in my first pregnancy. If you can ride it out with my carefully chosen clothing, hopefully it will improve for you all too.

I'm 6wk 2days and i'm bloated today, although im wearing a tight tank top but if i was going out the house i'd prob wear a shirt! No one would know.. This is my 1st baby, the only thing they might notice is my MASSIVE 34 DD Chest that has sprung from no where!!!! lol... xxx

 

[my1stbump]

Loose tops are working for me but I seem even bigger today
My boobs feel huge too I am already a 36e! At this rate my belly and boobs will merge ha ha

This will be my 4th pregnancy, 3rd Baby tho. My DS is 5 in a few weeks and my DD is 4 the day after eek, so I'm wondering if bloated like I am coz I'm still stretchy.

Either that or my dates are wrong or I'm expecting twins

I am CRAZY bloated too. I had two ladies at work rubbing my belly the other day and saying awww. I don't mind belly rubs but I was so embarrassed when they asked how far gone I am and my co-worker was looking at me. It's just fat and bloat combined, ladies, not baby

This is my 3rd pregnancy but will be 2nd baby as I miscarried in May, I've had so much bloating,but now I actually do have a permanent small bump! Was planning on waiting untill 12weeks before announcing but think people will definately notice soon! I don't really own any baggy clothes either to hide it lol.
