    tips for hiding your belly?

    I am sooooooo not fashionable.

    My wardrobe is tshirts, jeans, shorts, and thongs. That's about it. And I mean plain tshirts, not the button up kind, just cotton with a round neck.

    Any tips on how to hide my belly? I am already poking out just a little too much.

    I wear alot of 'relaxed fit' tshirts. I mostly wear tunic tops because I hate things wrapped around my tummy.

    You may have to go on a shopping spree!!

    My only tip would be tunic style tops too...but just wanted to say that I'm stoked that you need to be asking this question!

    I popped really early too and wore long, loose tunics with stretchy lightweight shirts (those meshy sort of things) underneath. Managed to hide my bump for a few weeks at least. There's no hiding it now though, and hasn't been for weeks.

    Hear hear

    Tops with an empire bust line too are great. They are the ones that have a fitted boob bit with a seam that sits right under the bust and then the top flows out from underneath, quite loose and flowing. I love them types!

    Wear it loud and proud, baby!

    If someone asks that you don't want to tell, explain that you've gained a little weight lately, ok? OK???

    Most people are too scared of asking - and "obvious" to someone who knows isn't obvious to anyone else. I wasn't "obvious" to anyone outside the know until 9m with Liebling.

    If anyone congratulates you, thank them. You're pretty proud of winning the "who can eat the most Christmas pud" contest.

    I second that!

    I opted for singlets underneath with a loose floaty top over the top , I found Jeans West had the best 'floaty tops'. I would avoid tops that have no shape what so ever, I think if they are slightly tucked just under the breasts (Like an empire top) they work the best.

    empire line, tunic style tops and dresses kept DS hidden until 22 weeks.

    this time, I was so ill in the first trimester I'd lost weight, and no one suspected a thing

    loving the question though!

    Go op shopping - there is a great new one near here where things are cheap. Buy some loose tops and you're away

    Or I can lend some if you like.

    I like these ones except i call them baby dolls . I also love layering. So it's not as tight fitting or you can bunch the singlet up underneath your t-shirt . I also love maxi dresses.
