WWYD?
I am almost 9w and am going back to work next week (I'm a teacher). Believe it or not, I am already showing (the bloat is CRAZY!). I've had people already make comments to me about my belly. I know the bloat MIGHT go down, but I am not counting on it. I don't know if I should try and hide it at work, or just come out with the news. I am a little hesitant since it's still kind of early, but I know hiding it isn't going to be easy, either (I don't normally wearing flowly/looser fitting shirts).

Re: WWYD?
I was in the same situation and I found that loose fitting blazers were a godsend.

I definitely could do this - but I NEVER wear things like this and think people will catch on real fast. I HATE that my building is sooooo nosey!!

Re: WWYD?
I would try and hide it as best you can. I thought I was showing a little at 10-11 weeks but it was still bloat and it actually did go down. Now I am 13 weeks and you can't tell anything at all.
So you might have to wear blazers (tunic style shirts that are loose in the middle but tight on your hips are GREAT for hiding the bloat and it looks like you are just being stylish) for a week or so and then you might be back into more fitted clothing for another 2 weeks or so before you really start to show. At that point you'd be in your 2nd trimester.
I say give it shot.

Re: WWYD?
i was able to hide it with looser fitting shirts until about 10-11 weeks - then the bloat/belly took over and there was no looking back 
sorry i don't have better advice

Re: WWYD?
I would just not say anything until you are ready. You have been gone all summer. Peopole would have some nerve asking that early in my opinion, after not seeing you for a while.
