I prefer form fitting tops to the tent-ish tops. Bottoms I'm usually in jeans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2177381 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:23:43 +0000 FannyMae 2177381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 12 weeks I look like a flubby flubbster, so even under loose sweaters it can be seen. If I try flaunt it it just looks like a pot belly in a tight shirt :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2176390 Wed, 13 May 2015 05:58:29 +0000 NovBaby1112 2176390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flaunting! I prefer more fitted clothing anyways. I tried to hide it the first 8 weeks or so, but then I just embraced it. I showed early the second time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2176328 Tue, 12 May 2015 22:50:35 +0000 SupernovaJ 2176328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm only 5 weeks so there's nothing to flaunt at the moment, but i would love to flaunt it once it become noticeable. with my first pregnancy, it wasn't a very obvious baby bump until 7 months in so i felt robbed of having the option to flaunt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2176046 Tue, 12 May 2015 16:19:16 +0000 travelgirl1 2176046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flaunting.

Earlier on, though, I totally flaunted it. I was just so excited to have a successful pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175790 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:27:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2175790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well at 35 weeks, there really is no option but to flaunt it. But I flaunted it from the start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175780 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:23:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2175780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have just started to flaunt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175778 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:21:20 +0000 Worrywart 2175778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Same here! I feel huge already and cannot wait to flaunt it!! I'm already starting to run out of my baggy shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175688 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:42:29 +0000 BSB 2175688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Aww, that's so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175681 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:38:59 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2175681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: still hiding at work. A few people know. I want to wait until my next appointment because once the 22 kids know then basically everyone will. It has been hot here so I am starting to have difficulty with clothing choices. I inadvertently touched my stomach last week and a four year old whispered to her friend about tummy padding and it being something mummies have. Then she asked me how my stomach was feeling. So she might be on to me! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175599 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:00:48 +0000 paigeface 2175599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flaunt it if you got it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175567 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:43:11 +0000 Torchwood 2175567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried to hide it with any of my pregnancies. We always announced before it was obvious, and I've always been excited to show it off. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175546 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:32:38 +0000 Keybee 2175546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10w 6d I've got a tiny little bump that could easily be mistaken for extra food.<br /> Right now I'm hiding. Tomorrow we have an appointment and we'll get to hear that heart beat and if everything looks good I'll be ready to not hide anymore. I don't think I'll quite start to flaunt, just less hiding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175544 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:32:28 +0000 MsMini 2175544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flaunt the heck out of my bumps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175532 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:29:14 +0000 BSB 2175532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: Yeah, this weekend, it was warm out and so I didn't need a jacket. We went to Target and Costco and I wore something a bit loose, so I did look pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175527 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:27:24 +0000 travellingbee 2175527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to flaunt it. I am only 6 weeks with #2 and already feeling huge (bloat and weak stomach muscles from previous pregnancy) So obviously I am hiding it right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175516 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:20:18 +0000 JessKas 2175516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day. Sometimes I wear a loose fitting shirt and it just looks like I put on weight. If I wear something fitted it's like, WHOA where did that bump come from?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175504 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:07:51 +0000 mrscobee 2175504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think up until 21 weeks I was more hiding it at work... It wasn't a secret, and many people knew, but I am like you, I hate attention and am not one to flaunt anything really!! Now, at almost 24 weeks it can't be hidden though, so I guess I am flaunting it? I don't hesitate to wear tight clothes. But I think dark clothes still draw slightly less attention my way, so I prefer that, though I'll wear light colors too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175502 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:06:57 +0000 Mrs. J 2175502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost 28 weeks, hiding it isn't really an option anymore :silly: , but I alternated between flaunting and hiding earlier in the pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-hiding-your-bump-or-flaunting-it#post-2175497 Tue, 12 May 2015 11:03:08 +0000 BSB 2175497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at 17w4d and I'm hiding it. I'm always cold at work, so I always have a zip-up fleece on. I'm still able to zip it up, but probably in the next few weeks, I won't be able to zip it. </p> <p>Oh, everyone at work knows I'm pregnant, so I'm not pretending like I'm not pregnant. I just prefer to take the attention away from my bump. </p>
