1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? I wll be flaunting it once I have one! 2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? I just bought maternity gauchos from ON for wearing around the house and hanging out at home. They're AMAZING. 3. Will you be getting a maternity coat? I think I'll have to. There's no way my coat will fit me at Christmas at 28 weeks pregnant. Or in February at 37! Lol.
1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? Conceal, I still look like I had a big meal and then later its gone. 2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? Dresses, I can't stand anything snug. 3. Will you be getting a maternity coat? I think I will have to. I want to find the kind that you add a section for maternity and remove it later.
1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? I'm at the point now where I would rather flaunt it so I look a little pregnant and not just fatter than normal! 2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? um, my flip flops? I hate all my clothes right now. I'm starting to buy maternity stuff and think I should just wear that so I am more comfortable. I do like dresses. 3. Will you be getting a maternity coat? I'm not sure. I live in Florida, so it doesn't get freezing cold here, but I am a cold weather wimp and really like my peacoat in the winter. I would love to find a cheap one somewhere to get me by.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles, including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama, IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? I don't really have one yet, but I want to flaunt it! 2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? My cropped jeans and sundresses 3.

1. Right now, I mostly conceal it ... it's not much since I was a little overweight to begin with, but last night DH said, "awww, you're cute, you're getting a little baby bump!" Work knows, but I'm not ready to flaunt it just yet!
2. Yoga pants (at home) and tank tops!
3. Yes. I live in MI and I'm due in February. My really cute black puffy coat that I bought last winter just won't work over a bump since it's fitted.

1. flaunt. it is too big to hide now, and if I try, I just look fat. So might as well be obvious about it.
2. A long maxi dress I bought for our vacation that has turned out to be awesome all summer long.
3. I will need a coat, seeing as I am due early January. But I think maternity coats are generally a waste of money. I am hoping my ankle-length wool coat will last me a while, and if it doesn't, I may just get a maternity fleece to wear underneath it to keep me warm if I can't button it anymore.
Brought to you by IVF, ICSI, limited fert, and oocyte cryopreservation. Because we're fancy like that.
1. Flaunt. My bump is still pretty small for how far along i am so people wouldn't even know if i didn't flaunt.
2. My maternity jeans!
3. I have an adorable wool caplet that i use in the fall and early winter so that will be good. If it gets really cold I have a long puffter that was roomy when I bought it so it might work... I don't think I will buy anything and just try to get through with what I have.

Morning poll -Clothing
1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? I was hiding it but now I am starting to wear a little bit more form fitting shirts. I'm a bigger girl and I'm to the point where if I wear something big I just look fat and frumpy instead of having a bump!
2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? Maternity Jeans and a t-shirt
3. Will you be getting a maternity coat? No, I live in Florida. Al though it does get pretty cold I don't think it will be worth it. Layer up!

1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? I mostly wear fitted shirts, even in my non-maternity t-shirts i still wear you see it
2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? Dresses-best part of being bigger now is that I dont have to wear pants too often (I work from home)-I'm not a fan of the panel pants, they make my stomach itch
3. Will you be getting a maternity coat? Nope-she'll be here before it gets really cold (hopefully!)
1. Do you hide/conceal the bump or flaunt it? - Well, I'm finally at the point where its impossible to hide it...I like showing it off. 2. What's your favorite piece of clothing now? Maternity Yoga pants - I put them on as soon as I come home from work. 3. Will you be getting a maternity coat?
- Fortunately, the baby will be here before I need a new winter coat, so I lucked out there! For the fall, I'll just deal with the cold.
TTC since April 2009
dx = PCOS;
TTC History for DS - A FET miracle after 7 IUIs; 2 fresh transfers, and 1 other FET resulted in BFNs.
Hoping and Praying for baby #2:
Cycle 1 - FET; November 2012 BFN
Next Steps - who knows?
Re: Morning poll -Clothing
1) Flaunt. I am hoping the bump makes me look pregnant and not just plump at this point.
2) Dresses! I can't stand anything tight around the belly and they are cool in this heat.
3) No, I expect them to be here around early November so I don't think I'll need one.
Diagnosed PCOS 2/07, TTC #1 since 8/09
11/10 - Clomid Round 1 = BFN
12/10 - Clomid Round 2 = BFN

1.Neither..I just wear whats comfortable and sometimes that ends up flaunting and sometimes its more hiding...there's no hiding it really though
2. Dresses... although I only get to wear them on the weekends
3. Probably not. It will be getting cold here by my EDD but I figure I'll make due. I really don't want to buy any more maternity stuff!
