How long can you hide a pregnancy and request for tips - Page 2

Well, I don't really know, but I'm 17.5 weeks with my first, and only a couple people at work know, and only because I told them. I can still wear my regular pants, just with a rubber band through the button hole to make the waist bigger. I had to buy some longer, loose fitting tops to cover that rubber band solution, though. I always wear a sweater at work, anyway, because it's cold in here. I find chunkier knits work a lot better than real light stuff that will catch and hang on your bulges . And again, stuff that's cut square, to fit the chest and hang straight down off the breasts works well. Also good are sweaters with a waist band (similar to most sweatshirts) so that they hug the hips a little but billow out at the waist a bit.

I'm usually a size 6 pants with a size 2 top (I'm 5'8" but thin on top, so like, if I buy an A-line or empire waist dress, I go with the 2, but jeans, etc. are generally a 6). For now, I just look a bit bloated (and I can suck it in if I really have to)--either that, or it looks like my torso is fattening up to match my bottom! lol.

Watch your posture, walk tall with yoour back straight. Carry your LO in front for as long as you can. Watch your salt intake,since it can cause puffiness. I tried to hide my 5th, but couldn't for too long. I always start to show in the first or second month:

Great suggestions! I want to hide for as long as I can. I'm just not up for talking about it since I already have such a full plate. Since I'm breastfeeding, I'm pretty busty. So that's helpful. I bought my first "fat" shirt. Trying to let my tummy hang out a little now while my daughter is still little. As it gets more obvious, I'll start sucking it in
