To think I can hide a pregnancy until 20 weeks

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant, it’s my second DC. For complicated reasons relating to the timing, I’d really rather not tell my employer until at least 20 weeks.

AIBU to think this is achievable?

If so, does anyone have tips on how? What do you do if your colleagues guess?

I got to around 5 months with my third, and only 'fessed up when a colleague announced she was pregnant too and due round the same time as me. I was on the heavier side at the time though so it was harder to tell. I tended to wear loose fitting tops normally.

Though a tall, slim colleague also got to 5 months and I was the one who outed her!! She was standing sideways on and I just blurted it out!

Also depends what shape you are. If you're slim, probably not. If like most of us you're a bit tubbier, then possibly.

Second one, unless you don't show or perhaps a larger lady then nope.

You could clearly see i was pregnant by 12 weeks with number 2 ( i was getting g side eyes from 10 weeks)

Depends on your job? Would it be safe?
