I've only just gotten my BFP with DC3! I'm so excited but am already feeling full and biliary- if anything like my last 2, my weight goes up very quickly. I really don't overeat and eat healthily... For some reason I just expand 🙁 I really can't let work know until 12 weeks, but I'm usually showing a bit by then. What can I wear? Im a size 10/12... Where to buy that's not too pricey? Thank you!

Layers
I found maternity over bump trousers with a long vest over the top smooths the bump.
Then a loose top over that, or a sweatshirt that isn't clingy, the ones with the band around the waist stop them clinging.
Then a scarf for the final bit of camouflage!

This is the sweatshirt I have and it hides my 19 week bump!

Fluffy blouse with a rubber band at the bottom so it makes like a ball that could be belly or just a ball. I have couple of shirts like that I use, I am 19 weeks put it on and look very unpregnant.

To add mine came from h&m a while ago

At least it's winter so the right time for layers!

The kind of tips with elastic around the bottom (so they stick out like a puffball) are good. Also long cardigans, and wearing floaty scarves. Long line jackets for work.

A colleague managed to conceal her pregnancy till 5 months - I'd noticed her clothing style had changed a bit but nothing else.

I can't believe I'm admitting to wearing one but a waterfall cardigan reall helps. Dreadfully naff bit of clothing but it does hide bumps!

Oh yes seraphine does a waterfall cardigan that looks normal at first but is also suitable when your bump gets big!

Thank you all, I'll have a look at New look and h&m and look out for layers even though it will be a style do overConfusedeek xx
