I also just sized up in regular shirts, which has lasted me well into 19 weeks. Longer shirts and just wearing cotton t-shirts on the weekends also worked for me and helped disguise things. (You didn't say you wanted to look cute.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1692130 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 22:46:29 +0000 birdofafeather 1692130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cardigans<br /> flowy tops/dresses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691633 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:59:18 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1691633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I second scarves and cardigans though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691631 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:58:19 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1691631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just hoping everyone thinks I'm getting chubbier... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691626 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:55:42 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1691626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 9 weeks and in a similar situation.

Now at 11 weeks there's no hiding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691457 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:11:01 +0000 MOJ 1691457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: Ooh - scarves - great call!

I wear a lot of cardigans. :)</p> <p>Though at work today one of my work area people when I walked passed her she looked straight at my tummy. She didn't say anything but I was a little shocked! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691384 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:49:24 +0000 snowjewelz 1691384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some loose flowy tops that worked well. Maybe a dark/busy print? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691346 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:38:05 +0000 MOJ 1691346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont have much by way of flowy tanks. And hate investing for such a short wear period. But so helpful - thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691315 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:31:23 +0000 catlady 1691315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lucky to go through that in the winter when it was easier to layer, but I did lots of loose fit tunic type tops layered with open cardigans. </p> <p>Prints can help disguise it too (in addition to black). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691307 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:29:35 +0000 Radish 1691307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wear flowy tops over a tank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691306 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:28:49 +0000 MOJ 1691306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: haha yeah, that has been my primary strategy thus far. Yesterday someone asked me (while all in black) how far along I was. It was crazy awkward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691300 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:26:21 +0000 pui 1691300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wear black. Definitely hides it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-hide-this-baby-bump#post-1691299 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:25:16 +0000 MOJ 1691299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have quite the tummy brewing at just 8 weeks. I am a small person in general, so right now I am all bump (yay), but still not ready to share the news...which makes things tricky. </p> <p>What do you wear to disguise a bump (something conducive to chasing a toddler - I am a SAHM)? </p>
