Dressing to conceal the early stages of pregnancy at work

Hi Ladies - so I recently found out that I'm pregnant with number 2 and my dating scan confirmed I'm 9 weeks already (that must be why my jeans have been feeling a bit tight!). I'm already noticing a bit of a bump, especially in the afternoons and I'm wondering what advice you have about dressing to hide a growing bump.

As background I had a difficult first pregnancy - I was originally pregnant with twins and lost one at 11 weeks so I'm not ready to announce to the world yet and definitely not to my work colleagues.

What can I do to get me through the next few weeks?? I'm a size 10 and need to be pretty smart for work - I usually wear fairly tailored pencil dresses but they are obviously out.

Any advice on things I can buy now and wear for the next few months? Or just general advice about what to wear that won't make it completely obvious - I've got a fairly extensive wardrobe from working, being pregnant and breastfeeding! I've still got all my old maternity clothes but I'm not ready for them yet. Although I feel like I'm much bigger at 9 weeks than I was first time around so it might not be long!

Thanks everyone :)

I got to week 20 with my second wearing a work suit jacket undone with a nice scarf or pashmina - and this is exactly the weather for it not to attract comment!

Yep, a nice scarf should work and any comments just say your trying out a new style for the winter.
