Will I be able to hide it to 12 weeks?

Will I be able to hide the pregnancy till 12 weeks?  This is my 2nd/3rd and I know you tend to bump earlier the 2nd time around. I really wanted to wait till dd first birthday to share the news but I feel as though I will long be showing before that.  When did you start showing?

Re: Will I be able to hide it to 12 weeks?

  • I was bloated and could have hid it better had I wanted to but I didnt really care after 8 weeks when we told family. But yes... Im sure I could have hid it well into 14 weeks with the right clothes.

  • This is my second pg and I could hide it pretty well until 17 or 18 weeks for people who didnt know me. I didnt tell work until 14 or 15 weeks and no one could tell. It's all about the clothes since I stopped buttoning my pants around 9 weeks.

    Now, at 30w, I get stranger comments on the daily.

  • I was actually smaller with my twins than my first.  I went to a shower at 14w and probably still could've hidden it and just looked like I pigged out.

    I had my twins first and didn't show just looked a little bloated, until 28 weeks. this time I am showing at 17, with one. it depends on your body and how you are carrying the babies. If you didn't show that early before you prolly won't this time either.

    You will certainly notice a bump at 12 weeks but pick your clothes well and you can hide it no problem.

  • I was out at work at 14w b/c I couldn't hide anymore, but had been getting the side eye and questions from about 10w.  I was bloated from IVF and then bumped pretty early.  I needed a belly band from before even getting my BFP.

  • I did IVF, so I was bloated.  I think that I really popped out though at 14 weeks.  I could have hidden it until then - fluffy looking, but not pregnant.  The right clothes will definitely help you do that.

  • This was my second pregnancy and felt like I was showing from the beginning! By 15 weeks had an little obvious bump. I am not sure if you can/will be able to hide it, everyone is different.

  • I had a bit of a bump at 12 weeks, but I was able to hide it that long.  Granted, this is my first pregnancy (at least that made it to double digits in weeks). 

    I hope you are able to hide it!

  • This is my 2nd twin pregnancy and I was in maternity trousers at 6 weeks. Had to tell everyone at 9weeks as my bump was very obvious!! Depends on ur usual style of clothing and body type!!
  • I didn't look pregnant until close to 20 weeks. Granted they were my first, but I definitely could have hidden it for a long time.

    I told work at 13 weeks. I had a lot of bloat but was able to hide it, just looked a little chubby.

  • I told my former co workers when I was a couple days past 13 weeks. No one had a clue prior to my announcement. My twins were number 2 and 3 for me as well.

  • They were my first/only pregnancy but yeah, I was able to hide it to 12w. I didn't notice any changes at all till right around 11-12w and had to buy my first belly band at 13w, got my first stranger comment around 14w.

  • really depends on your body.  skinny women usually show sooner.  I'm not skinny, I was about 15-20lbs over my normal weight (so not obese),but I didn't show til really late 16w and at 17w is when I really had a bump that I couldn't hide by clothes.
