I just found out this weekend that I am pregnant with my 3rd child and I am showing already. With my second child I showed quickly as well. I am waiting to tell my employer until 3 months but wanted to know how to cover up and not be so noticeable. Has anyone else shown quickly? I am very excited but it is still early to announce the news, right.

What can I do next?

I also showed early in my pregnancies. Actually the first was the longest and after that right away. I also had 3, so probably since those muscles are not as tight after the first one they just pop out with any extra weight on them!!!!

I wish you lots of luck!!!!

Take care

thats the way it normally happens Im also pregnant with my third and am only four months along and look like I'm ready to go any day but the doc said that with each pregnancy you show sooner and sooner as for your cover up I really cant make any suggestions.

congratulations! I think you're lucky that right now there are a lot of empire waisted, flowing sort of peasant tops in fashion. I bet you can wear those and look quite fashionable.
I tried to do that myself, hold off on telling my employer. Unfortunately, it wasn't the way I looked that gave it away. It was more the way I was running to the rest room every half hour to throw up and then falling asleep at my desk!
Have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

I agree with all of the other advice so far, but had to stick my 2 cents' worth in anyway, so here goes: I found that people are remarkably unobservant, so the more you dress like you normally do (not, mind you, in exactly the same clothes, if they're too small), they're not likely to notice much for a while.

Congratulations and best of luck. To conceal your pregnancy till you are ready to tell your employer don't wear tight fittting clothes. Luckily there are the baby doll and empire shirts that are fashionable for this time of year.
Best of luck.

Congratulations to you. I'm so glad to see your request. I'm 12 weeks pregnant with #3 and can't beleive that I'm already wearing maternity clothes.
In regards to hiding it from your employer, just get some clothes that are elastic at the waist and some shirts that are a size up from what you usually are. Target has some great maternity pants right now that you can't even tell are maternity. I also saw some cute shirts there in the juniors department that I thought looked like maternity because the front was so long. Good luck!

I showed early with both of mine as well. And I was still able to wait til I was three months pregnant to break the news. (Don't know how all the cracker-eating didn't tip them off.) You don't have to buy maternity clothes just yet, there are alot of longer style shirts out there now. When I had my first, short was all I could find. Empire waist shirts help. I've even seen shirts that are loose fitting, but pleated (can't think of the right word) at the top. There are some maternity pants that don't look it, and they work well especially if you get a long enough top to cover it. And they will work well after you have the baby too.

Congrats & good luck!
