Extremely bloated and stressing!

I don't own a single dress. LOL I lived in Brisbane and start sweating at the thought of a sleeved shirt on a cool day. I usually live in sleepless tops and singlets. Will just have to suffer a bit I guess. Or go shopping lol!

Go with the loose and flowy tops. You'll use them now, and after baby is born, so they won't be a "waste" for just a few weeks. Some styles might carry well into your pregnancy too. I bloated pretty badly with some of my babies, not so much with others. And I didn't get any bigger in the long run - just popped a little earlier. Don't worry too much about that yet.
All the best!

I had that with DD2 as well. Maybe get some looser singlet dresses for the heat? I went with the I think I have irritable bowel or something as I am so bloated approach if people looked at me

YEp, second time round most people knew I was pregnant before we announced it at 12 weeks. I did end up HUGE though. My fundal height was 49cms at 36 weeks pregnant. I had over 3 litres of fluid drained from me during my C-section. Fun times. Hoping I'm not huge next time we have a baby, but I'm not holding out much hope

Most people are polite enough not to comment when they see you looking a bit bigger, so I wouldn't worry about 'having' to tell people sooner. And if it is bloatedness, not actual baby, I was advised by my FS to eat lots of protein when I got very bloated after embryo transfer. I added a glass of sustagen to my diet, reduced my carbs for a bit and made all my snacks protein-based - peanut butter, nuts, cheese, etc.
