Hiding pregnancy

[momof31027]

Trying to hide my third baby till 15 weeks! Wanting to wait till after my brothers wedding! How long could you had hide your third pregnancy?

Hi I have a cousin who hid her pregnancy until she was 7 months.  As soon as she told her stomach popped.  I guess it was mind over matter.  I think if you wear a floaty top or even a caftan which is popular right now, you could get away with it.  I think it is sweet that you don't want to over shadow your brothers wedding.  I'm sure it will be much appreciated and a funny story later.  My problem with hiding anything was that my breasts grew so much so fast, no way to hide that.
Good luck

I think it's REALLY sweet that you're trying to keep the focus on your brother at his wedding,  but if you are there looking maybe pregnant,  the focus will be on you.  ;D  People will ask each other quietly if you could be,  and say someone should ask her,  but maybe she's just gained weight?

Since this is your third,  this pregnancy won't over shadow much,  sadly.  Third babies don't get the attention first ones do.

Congratulations and enjoy the wedding!

I'm 18 weeks with our 7th and I just started to show. I guess it probably depends on how big you were before pregnancy (im not a real big person but not skinny by any means). I also wear looser fitting shirts (that's in style right now anyways so easy to get away with lol)...We are waiting until 20 weeks when we find out gender and I'm really not concerned if anybody is upset that we waited so long to tell (it's our news and our choice to tell people when we feel fit). Good luck :)

If you do successfully hide it, do you think people who saw you at the wedding will be angry later that you didn't share this news?  If your worry is that your news will overshadow the day, tell now.  By that time it will be known information and everyone will still focus on your brother and his wife.

I hid my 3rd about that long. I showed sooner with my first 2 than my 3rd (current) but I have some extra weight on me still from the 2nd one.  I also lost 10 lbs in the first trimester, too.

I'm on my 2nd pregnancy and there was no way of hiding even to 15 weeks lol I started showing before 12 weeks.

Floaty tops might help. And wearing black. And avoiding situations where people offer you an alcoholic drink. With my second it was noticeable around 12 weeks. One relative gave me a funny look when I did not accept a glass of wine.
