I got big pretty fast so, I bought maternity clothes early. I told everyone at work during one of our meetings at 13 weeks and didn't care if I showed it off after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104803 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:37:22 +0000 chopsuey 104803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore loose tops all throughout my pregnancy.. Totally didn't feel like my bump was cute enough to flaunt! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104801 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:36:28 +0000 duckduckkristen 104801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around family and friends I started flaunting it around 20 weeks and hid it everywhere else until about 26 weeks. </p> <p>@betsyboop: I don't like the attention either and for some reason it just feels weird to me to have strangers know I'm pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104795 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:32:01 +0000 Andrea 104795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hid my pregnancy because I really don't like attention or people asking me how I am doing/how far along/etc etc. So I hid it and people didn't ask me anything. Loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104793 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:30:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 104793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wearing maternity clothes for about 2 weeks now (I'm almost 13 weeks) not so much because of the belly but because my boobs don't fit into anything else. I will definitely flaunt the belly once it pops, I think if you got it show it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104747 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:04:30 +0000 heffalump 104747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flaunted it as soon as I told people. No sense in trying to hide it or suck in the belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104741 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:02:54 +0000 Mrsbells 104741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt tell my employer until I was 18 weeks so you could say I was hiding it but honestly I really had no bump at all, even with a tight shirt it wasnt noticeable.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104651 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:01:14 +0000 betsyboop 104651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't work anymore but until recently when there was no way I could NOT look pregnant, I was kind of a bump hider. For me I think it's because i didn't want extra attention or to be treated differently just because I'm pregnant. Do you think that might be it for you at work?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hide-or-flaunt#post-104644 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:28:25 +0000 Beyond2 104644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along were you before you went from hiding the bump to showing it, particularly at work? I'm 15 weeks and my boss knows I'm pregnant but I'm finding that I still feel the need to hide my belly. Not sure why. I wear my maternity shirts that accent my belly on the weekends but not to work. </p>
