I don't see a bump at all!

I would assume you had a big breakfast I think the stripes help hide the tiny bump! Plus, if anyone asks you now, they are just asking to insult someone!!

I looked like that and people looked at me a little longer when I was in my first trimester. No one said anything, though.

@lawbee11: If you're worried about it do you have a less form fitting shirt you could wear just to make yourself feel better? It would be nice if people were smart and just didn't say anything..... but I did have one person ask if I was pregnant during my first trimester and it was just awful and awkward because we weren't telling people yet so I had to say no (I had just gained weight from getting off certain meds and having a miscarriage so that was a whole different issue though)..... but my point is it's always easier just to avoid the "are you pregnant?" question if you can.

I think you look adorable! I wouldn't ask if you were pregnant- I'd just think you were bloated. I remember thinking that same thing at about 11 weeks- that an outfit for sure gave it away- but I was going through my pictures recently and realized I was just paranoid!!

I think it just looks like a little bloat, nothing I don't have currently and I'm not pregnant lol, you look fine!

Just be warned : sometimes you'll wake up with a tiny bump but at the end of the day you'll have a giant belly. I remember waking up and thinking my belly had disappeared and then by the time I went to bed again I felt so huge and bloated.
I started wearing more blazers and wrap sweaters to work

@rachiecakes: good point! I had a lot of days where I wore normal pants buttoned up and by the end of the day had them unbuttoned and half zipped. Would have been very obvious, and sexy, in a tighter shirt.

@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!

@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.

@lawbee11: I wouldn't think you were BTW you are so pretty. I'm totally jealous of your hair!

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

@Alivoo01: so true! one of the guys I work with didn't know I was pregnant until I was almost 7 months along, haha

@rachiecakes: 7 months?! Holy cow!! You must have either carried extremely well or just guys being guys and totally not paying attention. haha!

@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!

haha. The only reason I think you look pregnant is because my belly looks almost the same right now.

Otherwise, I'd never know.

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.

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?

@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).
