How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

We are TTC and want to tell my family all at the same time (I have 7 brothers and sisters!!) but they all come home throughout the year so we are super lucky. So, since we see my parents all the time, how long do you think you could reasonably go without showing??

THANKS!!

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I think you could go the whole 1st trimester without anyone noticing...13 weeks, everyone is different though but for me everyone is definitely now noticing

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I think it is different for everyone. I am 12 weeks and you can totally tell that I am pregnant and not just fat. You could probably make it the 1st trimester but not much after that.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

We didn't tell anyone until the first trimester was over. Looking back, i could have waited until i was 5 months along before i had to say anything because i wasn't showing at all.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I made it to about 16 weeks - only those who really know me could tell, others were sort of on the fence about whether I put on a few lbs or was pregnant!!

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

Only my mother and one 30 year old man at work (go figure) was able to guess without me telling them before the first trimester was over. Most others noticed at about 15 or 16 weeks maybe. Im no help. I have CRS.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I could probably still get away with it now at 22 weeks Unless you know me and I am wearing a fitted shirt, I've got nothing

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

It really depends. Right now I'm 20 weeks and people that don't know me probably couldn't tell. Some people at work still don't know.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I think it depends on the person and body type. Im just 6 weeks and Im so bloated. I am also not a small girl to begin with so it just looks like Im fatter. KWIM. Im thankful that all the tops I have have a bit of swing in them otherwise it would look like I was gaining massive weight. Like I said Im VERY bloated.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I told my job at 20 weeks with my first and no one had a clue! I probably didn't show until about 24 weeks last time...this pregnancy, it seems that a little belly is popping out at 14 weeks!

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

It definitely depends on your body type and the types of clothes you wear too.

If you're petite and slim people will likely notice your belly easily. It's especially the case if you tend to wear tight fitting clothes and now start to wear more loose fitting ones.

I'm a petite size 00 and started showing as early as 8 weeks. :(

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

for me, i could have hid it until my 7th month pretty much! people would have just thought i was gaining weight.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I could have hid it from family def. for the first trimester...probably into the sencond for awhile.

I started a new job when i was 14wks and i hid it from them until i was 7 months...they just then started having an idea that *maybe* i was preg. when i told them how far i was they were all in shock!

everyone is different though!

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

When we found out that we were having a girl (22 weeks) my dh sent me pink flowers to work. Everyone wanted to know the occasion and I simply said "oh Im having a girl"... it was kind of fun to have waited that long

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I could have gone 14 weeks with no one knowing. But I am really tall and barely got a belly.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I'm 15 weeks and dont think people can tell yet...even though i can feel it in my clothes

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

It depends - I could hide it til 22 weeks but I have a friend who at 10 weeks couldn't hide it

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

When I was PG with Andrew I didn't show until about 6 months. This time around I am even fatter to start off with so I don't think people will notice until I am wheeled into the operating room

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

i was showing pretty early on, i think i was able to hide it until week 10 or 11 and then i stopped trying... by week 14 everyone who knew me could tell.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I started showing at around 7-8 weeks. I was really thin though.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

It really depends on the person individually- I started showing around 8 weeks

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

It depends how you dress. I teach dance and am always in fitted clothes. People started questioning me by 8 weeks because my boobs got so big.

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

I am almost 13weeks and only gained 2lbs....I am not showing yet...just my boobs are crazy...I went from a D to DD I was a size 6 before pregnancy and I still fit in my clothes....

Re: How long could you disguise a pregnancy??

around 11 weeks I was looking bloated...at 13 I was looking pregnant
