hiding the bump

[ella170]

can tying bandages around your tummy be dangerous for the baby? or any other ways of hiding the bump??

well squashing your tummy when your pregnant doesnt seem to sound to good really. whatever the reasons are for hiding it, try to work on them

 

[Uvlollypop]

no that isnt good, talk to people rather than hiding it, it will not go away itll only get bigger.....

trying to hide it is not going to help and tying bandages sounds like a really bad idea. Most people dont show for quite a while, and even when you do start showing a bit you can wear baggier clothes if you need a bit more time to tell, but in the end no amount of baggy sweaters will help you. its best to work out your issues hun.

Hiding the bump.....???
What are you going to do when the baby is here, carry it in your handbag ??

Sorry, but I think you'd be better off trying to think of ways to face up to that you are pregnant, than trying to pretend you're not.

you shouln't be having a baby if your so embaressed about it...
9 months time...u cant wrap a bandage round it to hide...cant imagien a bandage would really hide ur bump anyways lol

 

[ella170]

its not that im really embarrased about it. i have a really tiny frame and my doctor said because of this i will probably start showing in a few weeks. i go to a catholic school and they will make me leave if they find out and i want to do my exams in may, thats why i dont want it to show.

 

[Ann-Marie]

Are they going to come up to you and ask if you're pregnant? Just sy that you ate all the pies.... I can't see how they can deny you an education though, not in this day and age!!

 

[Kayles1/8/08]

To be honest Your doctor was wrong telling you that..
Its more often someone with a smaller frame takes longer to show..it can be up 2 6 months...my mum never showed with my older sister until she was 7 and a half months...
And as my dad and his family were catholics im right to say they do not believe in abortions.. so i'm sure your worrying over nothing.. they can't throw u out of school thats a lot of nonsense..you could go on for 9 months u dont need to tell them..unless u were in a job obviously.
If it worries you so much ask ur mum or who ever is supporting u to speak to the school if it bothers u so much but to be honest i doubt u'll start showing by next month..how far along are u ?

 

[ella170]

i really hope it will take that long. its also that everyone in school is so nosey and bitchy and im not really in the mood for giving them something to talk about just yet.
im 8 weeks 5 days..

 

[Kayles1/8/08]

yeah i get it all the time everywhere...i live in a small town and everyone knows everyones business..but is what people saying about you more important than ur baby? my wee cousin goes to a catholic school and there is 6 girls in her year pregnant...and they are still in the school. Its going to come out at one point..But im sure ul still be a skinny minnie by the time ur exams come in may

All i can say is why!!!!!!! You make me sad, as all i want is a bump, and you want to hide yours, school or no school... Uggggg im just sad now.

 

[ella170]

well yeah it might sound really selfish of me but everyone wants different things. people who are ttc may be devestated that they don't have a baby and i recognise that completly, but being pregnant in a particular circumstance can be equally as devestating. obviously i can admit that i f***** up and i was so stupid, but i can guarrantee that i have cried just as much, if not even more than someone who cannot have a baby. that doesn't mean that im right, because im not, i probably sound like a complete bitch. however, if i was ttc, i would be more pissed off about the fact that some girls are using abortion as a form of contraception, but i have chosen to keep the baby and i think, for me, that is enough. im not taking away my baby's right to live, im just trying to balance it out, so that i can still have a life aswell.

 

[jacky24]

I am not even going to comment on that, i hope you find the answers you were looking for. Goodluck with your remaining 8months.

 

[Mynxie]

sweetie, I went to a catholic school and a couple of girls there were pregnant just before their exams. It's doubtful that you'll be obviously showing sweetheart, your uniform will most likely hide your bump a bit, and you'll only be going into school for the exams, you'll not be there all day every day. Your school don't have a right to ask you if you're pregnant (as far as I know).

I do find some of your comments upsetting though.

Good luck x

 

[Chalrhow]

The school cant throw you out !! My son went to a catholic school and he wasnt even a catholic !!

 

[jacky24]

I agree with mynxie, your comments were upsetting and clearly you need to go and make up your mind on what you are going to do, i always say the truth can't harm you, and the unessacary stress aint good for the baby.

 

[ella170]

i really cant win can i. u wanna keep the baby- people make u feel guilty, u wanna have an abortion- people make u feel guilty, u wanna hide the bump- people make u feel guilty. im sorry that im still a kid and that ive never been so scared in my life and dont think that i ever will be, im sorry that im not false, im upfront and not afraid to share my opinions. i completly sympathise with anyone who cannot have kids. i find it really upsetting how many people stick to one opinion and fail to comprehend what it may be like for other people in a different situation.

 

[Kayles1/8/08]

I understand how upsetting it must be that ur young still in school etc etc... But i agree with the others ur comment there wasn't a very good one.
Just because your having a baby doesn't mean ur life stops..its just the beginning of a new one..
I myself am against abortion and respect ur choice of keeping the baby..
but u need to snap back into reality..everyone will know one day..wether its tommorow or 9 months time.. I don't think ur taking a very mature approach about this and ur just in denial..uve chose to keep this baby...so like it or not its gna be there infront of u one day and thats a bit hard to hide

 

[Kayles1/8/08]

no - one is making u feel guilty of anything.. its your choice and ur body but be realisitic babe..everyones gonna click on one day..try not to worry to much now..uve still got a while to go before theres no way u can hide it..and the 12 week mark is wen reccomended to tell ppl if u want to..so u dont need to worry x
