I look same as you and struggling to hide it, normally wear fitted tops and dresses to work but this week think my female colleagues are wondering why I've gone all floaty clothes! lol!

I bloated from what seems like the minute I got a +ve test lol! I bought some of those knickers that suck you in and they only helped a bit, so just had to wear baggy tops with a tight bottom. I'm a size 12/14 but looked like an 18 some mornings, it was crazy how fast I ballooned. I'm 15 weeks now and I still get the bloat but nowhere near as bad- just drink lots of water, and eat All Bran cxx

I find fibrogel works a treat. Recommend by my gp, doesn't get absorbed into the system so perfectly safe.

Small meals, lots of water too.

1st pregnancy I haven't bloated up. Almost 11weeks and still in my size 8 fitted trousers. Which suits great as we want to keep it a secret for as long as physically possible.

Tille! That's amazing. Wish I fitted in my clothes still. I can squeeze in a couple of bits and that's it. We are trying to hide it for as long as possible too, I'm think I'm going to tell everyone that my husband is a feeder and fattening me up! xx

Honestly try the fibrogel. Tastes just like pure orange. I'm amazed this time.
We had a mmc at 15weeks, so I want to get past that or further along before we tell.

Will have a look into it. Thanks.

We are working on a need to know basis or who we'd tell if the worst happened. A fair few people do know but it's work colleagues and wider family/friends I want to hide it from.

We have told no one. our plan is to get to the point thst people are asking before we tell. I've become such a hermit so far lol

You look okay to me Hun. Positively lovely thus compared to me. I'm only on baby number two and I'm this size at 8 weeks. Picture attached.

Aww I think that's a nice little bump forming.

I'm so big today I've walked round work feeling like I may as well have a sign hanging round my neck saying I'm pregnant! I've carried folders and my handbag in front of me most of the day!

 

[Mummytobeagain]

Thank you becky1. How many weeks are you? I have my first midwife appointment on Friday. I can't wait. X

 

[Becky1]

I'm 15 and just tri hopping, I could easily pass for 25weeks. It's my second too and I'm sure with my first didn't have a bump until about 20 weeks.

Enjoy the mw app - making it all the more real x
