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.
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.

At almost 28 weeks, hiding it isn't really an option anymore 
, but I alternated between flaunting and hiding earlier in the pregnancy

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.

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??

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.

@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.

At 10w 6d I've got a tiny little bump that could easily be mistaken for extra food.
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.

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.

@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!

@travellingbee: Same here! I feel huge already and cannot wait to flaunt it!! I'm already starting to run out of my baggy shirts.

Well at 35 weeks, there really is no option but to flaunt it. But I flaunted it from the start!

I'm 33 weeks, so hiding it isn't in the cards for me anymore. Earlier on, though, I totally flaunted it. I was just so excited to have a successful pregnancy.

I'm flaunting it at 19 weeks. Most of my clothes are form fitting.

I'm not hiding it, but I carry small so most people give me a weird look or a "no way" when I respond to tell them how far along I am/when I am due.

I usually go with flaunt once it's bumpy instead of lumpy. Ha.

Flaunting. There is nothing about my body I can hide at the moment.

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!

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.

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

29 wks and flaunting it! I prefer form fitting tops to the tent-ish tops. Bottoms I'm usually in jeans!
