How soon did you show with #3?!

I'm only 7+1 with number 3 (I have a two year old and a one year old so pregnancies all very close together). Over the weekend I have popped- no exaggeration. It's a v clear bump shape too- now panicking about how to avoid people guessing at work this week- genuinely look about 4/5 months pregnant.

Anyone else have the same thing? How did you hide it? It's not like I can wear cardigans etc tomorrow! None of my trousers fit and all my dresses and skirts seem to just exaggerate the bump.

I think I was still in bed after the conception... 😂

From about the minute I took the test! I had mine close together too.

Have you a skirt with an elasticated waist for comfort, plus a longer length loose top?

At 7+1 it’s probably just early bloating? I had that early on and then it went down and I’m not showing at all at 9 weeks

Yeah really early on here too Sad

I did the test before breakfast. Was sowing as we sat down to dinner.

I tried this- if anything elasticated skirts seem to highlight it, as I'm so 'bump-y' that it rides up and sits on top of my bump, literally like I'm about 5 months gone 🤦‍♀️

I would have thought this too but it's a really clear bump shape. I had the same with DC2 but it was a bit later at 9 weeks- the bump was definitely a real bump as it never went down again and just kept growing!

Really really didn't want my colleagues to know this early on 🤦‍♀️

I wear dress that hang from my boobs to skim over my tummy. Just moan that you need to go on a diet as you've been eating and drinking too much?
