Second pregnancy. Started to show about 14 weeks with ds, but I didn’t try to hide it either.
Aibu to think that I could keep this a pregnancy a secret until 24 -26 weeks if I try?
I’m fairly tall and size 10-12 slim but not toned.
Only my dp and dm know now, I haven’t had 12 week scan yet and just a little bloated at the moment. How can I disguise my bump?
I want to keep it quiet as certain people had me stressed In my last pregnancy with their unsolicited ‘helpful’ advice, and I think I Will be calmer this time if I just don’t have to hear it.

Depends if you're Eva out of coronation street. She's managed to get to seven months with nobody noticing the large football up her jumoer.

Itsallpropaganda was literally just about to post the same and you beat me to it. It's such a ridiculous storyline, she is massive and obviously pregnant yet no one has apparently noticed Hmm

My 4th baby is sitting on my lap now because I didn’t have a clue I was pregnant until I was nearly halfway through my pregnancy.

I was a size 10 Confused

I think summer is a good time because you wear floaty tops and dresses. You'd probably be able to hide it until 20 weeks at least if you're tall. You van but try! Plus if people are unsure if it's a bump or you’ve gained weight they'll be unlikely to ask for fear of getting it wrong and being rude!

I’m a size 6-8. I didn’t show until 6 months with my first pregnancy, and could have easily hid a bump until 7 months. My second, I started showing at 8 weeks, and by 16 weeks I was huge. I wouldn’t have been able to hide that bump.

It totally depends on the pregnant person and the pregnancy. I couldn't hide it past 15 weeks.
