Its still early for me and im not ready to announce it to everyone at work and in the family just yet. My bump is starting to show a little though. How did u all manage to hide it for some time?
During my pregnancy, I wore loose empire-line dresses which didn't press on my belly at all. This comfort also helped later during my C-section recovery, so loose clothing is always best.
I am in my 5th month and starting to show, but we haven't told our extended family yet. Did anyone else feel anxious about hiding the bump during family gatherings?
While hiding the bump with loose clothes is easy, please make sure you aren't wearing tight shapewear or belts that compress your belly. Your doctor will also advise keeping things loose for baby's safety.
Actually, high-waisted flowy skirts and flared tops are the easiest way to hide it yaar. Add a cool denim jacket or shrug and nobody will notice a thing.
Honestly, I lost so much weight from severe vomiting early on that my bump didn't show for a long time, but loose cotton kaftans are perfect and keeping you comfortable.
The physical therapist at my hospital recommended avoiding any tight elastic bands on the waist while trying to conceal the bump. Stick to loose A-line kurtis that flow naturally.
I completely understand wanting to keep your pregnancy private early on for your own peace of mind. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that doesn't put any pressure on your stomach, and take care.
With twins, my bump exploded early, so hiding it was like trying to hide a watermelon! Dark colors and oversized boyfriend shirts were my ultimate saviors.
