Bridesmaid soon - how do I hide my early bump?

Just found out I’m pregnant with my third baby, and I’m a bridesmaid in less than 2 weeks.
I’ll be 8 weeks.
I thought I was just bloated and have put a few pounds on, but DP thinks I’m showing already.
I certainly don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder, and I really don’t want some people knowing this soon.

Can anyone recommend a comfortable ‘slimming’ bodysuit type underwear that I can wear under the dress? Obviously nothing too restricting.

Thanks in advance. 😊

What's your dress like?

I think even if people notice it's unlikely they will say anything, much less think you are stealing anyone's thunder. Most people will be focusing on the bride and groom?

A good pair of smoothing pants might help? Maybe get shape-wear but your usual size / size up and it'll skim rather than suck in? 8 weeks and showing probably wouldn't look like a bump, perhaps people might think you've put on a small bit of weight but be too polite to say? Or just bloated as you say!

Do you know what sort of flowers you will be carrying? A well-positioned bouquet/posy can hide a multitude of sins!
