But you're in that zone where it very well could be a little tummy, so you'd have to be pretty bold to ask. I'd NEVER ask someone who looked like you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-539343 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:47:02 +0000 lawbee11 539343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Haha thank you!!</p> <p>@winniebee: Ugh, I don't want mine to get huge, but I wish they'd grow just a little! So far, nada :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-539269 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:35:15 +0000 winniebee 539269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly looked a lot like yours while early pregnant and I thought EVERYONE knew. Turns out only a few suspected and it was b/c of my boobs, not belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-539263 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:32:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 539263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I voted no.. .you look like a thin, normal person! And who the hell would have the nerve to ask if you are pregnant? My rule is: if it isn't 1000 obvious then, don't say anything!</p> <p>and um, YOU'RE PREGNANT?! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I must have been in lala land when you announced. Yaay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-539250 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:30:10 +0000 lawbee11 539250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: @JoJoGirl: Thanks :) </p> <p>@JoJoGirl: I agree about the angle. From the front it looks like nothing, and that's mostly how people see me, so that does make me feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-538927 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:24:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 538927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: :)</p> <p>Also Lawbee what I've found is that it is VERY RARE people look at you exactly from a 90 degree angle, and at that, at your belly. Usually people look at you face-on or from the back, and NOBODY would know you are pregnant. I'm 24 weeks and face-on most people still can't really tell, depending on the outfit. I took a pic this week just to show my mom that face-on is sooo different than from the side. So don't worry too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant/page/2#post-538920 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:22:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 538920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: This. So adorable.</p> <p>I don't think you have to worry about it really, but since I'm specifically looking for one, I can definitely see that you are starting to have a little baby bump. If anyone noticed, they would probably just think you were a bit bloated or something, though since you're so tiny and had a really flat stomach pre-pregnancy, you might get noticed more than I would have at that point. I guess it's the one perk of having some tummy chub before pregnancy--everyone just thinks you're putting on weight! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538893 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:17:47 +0000 JoJoGirl 538893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um just wanted to say that you are SO CUTE. That is all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538884 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:16:42 +0000 lawbee11 538884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I am planning to tell in the next 2-3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538799 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:59:33 +0000 QBbride 538799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are soo tiny! I wouldn't worry about it. If you're trying to not draw attention to yourself though, I'd stay away from stripes. I can't imagine anyone would ask you if you're pregnant. Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538762 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:49:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 538762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That fact that you work with a lot of women who had babies recently, to me, means they will be on the lookout and they might notice. BUT, they will also be more aware of the fact that you might not want to say anything so probably wouldn't ask. When do you want to tell?</p> <p>@lawbee11: @LindsayInNYC: My nails grow like crazy with the prenatals. I don't even bother filing anymore and have to clip them every week or so. I don't know if my hair is growing faster, but since I've stopped shedding, it's getting slightly thicker, which I love (it's so thin/fine usually). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538715 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:37:37 +0000 avivoca 538715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't guess that you were pregnant, but if it makes you feel better, take along a cardigan or a scarf. </p> <p>@LindsayInNYC: My hair has been so soft and manageable since I got pregnant. The prenatals only made my nails grow faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538713 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:37:28 +0000 .twist. 538713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha. The only reason I think you look pregnant is because my belly looks almost the same right now. </p> <p>Otherwise, I'd never know. </p> <p>Although, I totally agree with whoever above me said to be careful about afternoon belly! I totally look way more pregnant at the end of the day than at the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538684 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:31:59 +0000 LindsayInNY 538684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11 - I feel like prenatals have done nothing for my hair! Boo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538661 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:26:33 +0000 Alivoo01 538661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: 7 months?! Holy cow!! You must have either carried extremely well or just guys being guys and totally not paying attention. haha!</p> <p>@lawbee11: Then I think they will start being curious and be like hm... haha! As others have suggested, wear a looser shirt or cardigan to help conceal it! My office is cold so I've worn my jacket every day so no one has any idea I'm preggo (except for my boss because I told him already). It'll be funny to see what everyone's reaction will be when the weather gets warmer come April/May and I will no longer need a jacket! Bam! Hello 20+ week bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538557 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:06:27 +0000 lawbee11 538557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: Aww thank you! I had 3 inches cut off between the 8w and 12w pics....it grows SO fast ever since I started taking prenatals! </p> <p>@Alivoo01: I work with mostly women. And 7-8 have given birth in the last year, so I feel like they're just waiting to see who it will be next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538540 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:03:22 +0000 rachiecakes 538540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: so true! one of the guys I work with didn't know I was pregnant until I was almost 7 months along, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538535 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:02:43 +0000 Modern Daisy 538535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You look beautiful! I would not assume you were pregnant based on the profile view. For people who see you every day, especially in that same outfit, it might be different but seeing you for the first time I would not think you were pregnant. I also wear form fitting clothes and it's starting to become an issue just at 10 weeks! </p> <p>I had a coworker who was your size and she started gaining weight in her hips and butt first, so we knew something was up. I feel like belly is almost easier to hide because it might just look like you ate a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538490 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:53:18 +0000 blackbird 538490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, that's not enough of a bump for me to automatically think, "oh maybe she's pregnant!" If you're worried, just throw a cardigan on! i wore a lot of sweaters </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538489 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:52:51 +0000 Alivoo01 538489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you work with more women or men, but if it's men. They won't notice. Women might start to get a lil skeptical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538488 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:52:39 +0000 stargal 538488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I wouldn't think you were :) BTW you are so pretty. I'm totally jealous of your hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538468 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:48:19 +0000 msmay 538468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I think the only way someone would approach you and ask is if they lacked any sort of sense-- it would be such a faux pas if they were wrong! It's not obvious enough to make that kind of assumption unless you have people in your office who have been watching/waiting for you to get pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538393 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:32:06 +0000 lawbee11 538393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @Foodnerd81: @Sammyfab: I found this picture on my phone of me in the Old Navy dressing room (LOL!). This was taken around 8w, so I had a little bloat, but this is pretty close to what I looked like pre-preg. I am now 12w. </p> [attach=1395/13/mhhv1i.375x600.Old-Navy.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538358 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:22:26 +0000 lawbee11 538358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I worry about that, too. I definitely notice that I am bigger when I get home from work, but people are constantly going in and out of our bathrooms, so I can't really check out my "status" throughout the day! </p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: @oliviaoblivia: I have a cardigan/wrap thing that I will keep at my desk from now on. The only problem is that sometimes our office is really hot, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538351 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:20:48 +0000 LindsayInNY 538351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11 - I kinda disagree... If your stomach is normally flat (like you said), then I'd wonder if you were pregnant. A lot of people gain weight all around, not just their stomach area. I also have a heightened awareness since I'm TTC though. I'd wear something open like a cardigan or wear a scarf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538330 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:17:13 +0000 Sammyfab 538330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So Pretty!</p> <p>It really depends. Since I don't know how you look pre-pg, I wouldn't say you look pregnant, but those that know you well may be suspicious since you are petite.</p> <p>I was told that I looked like I had a really big lunch (by ppl that knew I was pregnant and saw me often) until I was 5 months. People that hadn't seen me in awhile knew I was pregnant when they saw the slightest bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-outfit-make-me-look-pregnant#post-538327 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:15:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 538327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Since I know you're expecting, I can say there's a little something there, but it's still not noticeable to anyone who wouldn't know. Kudos to you for looking so slim this far into your pregnancy! </p>
