I thought I remembered a thread about this topic, I searched for it but couldn't find it. I'm wondering how long you could hide your second pregnancy? When were you obviously showing? If we are successful I want to hide it as long as possible at work...
Sorry to repeat topics, I know it is there somewhere, I just can't for the life of me find it...
I think it depends on how sick you get with the MS, not just if you're showing or not. This time around my MS (and vomiting) has been that bad it was hard to hide and we did tell lots of people prior to our 12 wk scan. It made me feel better knowing they knew how crap I felt
I'm a really private person and I probably wouldn't share the news of a m/c outside of BB... so I would want to keep it quiet. Hard to hide when it's summer (potentially) and I usually wear tight singlets.
Number 2 I could hide, I had a cold as well so it was easy to brush off not looking to well, we told everyone when I was 12 weeks. With Ds I was really sick to begin with and it was too hard to hide so pretty much everyone knew at 6 to 8 weeks along.
I'm almost 10 weeks with my third pregnancy. I have put on some weight and have a little pot, but most people would just think I was chunking up. I think it really varies from person to person though.
My main giveaway is the vomiting and tiredness. But I'm a good pretender, I'm living with my folks and they don't know. I don't think.....
I'm starting to show now but it could also look like i have been eating too much also so I doubt it is obvious and I'm nearly 13 weeks. BUT everyone shows differently for each pg\ remember! You're not really gonna know until you're pregnant how it's gonna go I think
The belly will depend on you & your body. I just had my fourth & didn't start looking pregnant til about 20 weeks. Pretty much the same as my others. Even then I just looked like I'd put a bit of weight on.
The ms with my girls was impossible to hide though, lol. With DS I might've got away with it.
Sorry to say, but I felt fat really quickly. I get cold easily though, so wearing a jumper at work didn't seem unusual, so I managed to hide it until 12 weeks. I have heard that your stomach muscles are not as tight as they used to be due to previous pregnancies, so the more you have, the earlier you show each time. Perhaps invest in some loose clothing?
