The goal is to not tell anyone (aside from my parents who know) until 12 weeks. The thing that sucks is we spend the majority of our 'free time' at the pool at my parent's house. I know every women is shaped different and grows differently... but I was hoping you guys could post your belly pic at 12 weeks (and maybe like the earliest you have so I have a reference point to see how much you grew.) Also -- for those of you who didn't share the news until later on in your pregnancy... how'd you manage with that? Anything you wanna share about it? Resi, didn't you not tell your job until you were like 16 weeks or something? Impressive!

Thanks girls!

Well if your like Angela, you wont even look pregnant at 29 weeks

Here's mine:

I easily "hid" my pregnancies until 12 weeks. I told my work with DS at 11 or 12 weeks I think - but everyone was shocked. I told my work this time the day I took the test because its a really small informal office and my co-workers are like my best friends and I just had to tell someone! I didn't tell people at church though this time until like 16 or 18 weeks and everyone was shocked and no one suspected I was preggo. I think you should tell close friends anyway - I always thought of it like - if I would tell these people if something happened to the pregnancy anyway I might as well tell them I'm preggo......Here are my 12 week (or close to pics with both DS and DD).

DS -

DD -

In both of these pics I"m not much bigger than I was to "begin" with.

Found some random pics, cause I wanted to see what other random internet women look like compared to our JM girls (so that means get posting ladies!). I also made SURE these were 12 weeks along





This one looks promising for pool time



Kind of mid range, you can wear a bathing suit still, one with some ruching or one of the ones with sides cut out that makes you look slimmer

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

I wish I was starting off thin to begin with! haha. I think I'll be able to get by with the one piece without it being too obvious... it'll probably just look like I got fatter. I mean... I know it really depends on other people, cause wasn't Jess showing at like 6 weeks? And then Angela looked slimmer at 12? So who knows. I'm still curious to see everyone else's 12 wk pics though

I didn't tell my work until I was in my 2nd tri. It was sometime in March. I can't remember how many weeks I was.

First belly pic - I'm guessing 4 wks?


Maybe 6 wks?


12 wks?


You can see the dates.. I know I told my work towards the end of March..



My beautiful smooth stretch mark free belly. How I miss it...

I haven't taken any belly pics because of my situation, but right now I think I look 4 months pregnant instead of 10 weeks. I think I look similar to the last 2 that Lauren posted. I guess I should have been doing more crunches while TTC...

[Frozendesire]

This is me at 14 weeks with Curtis

[ScottishBrit]

I dont have a 12 week shot but I didn't have anyone even asking If I was preggo until I was 6 months. I told people at work at 8 weeks though.
Here's 10 weeks...Dont mind my pudgy belly

13 weeks...

[**jessie**]

Here's mine. Granted I look small enough at 12 wks but these were taken first thing in the morning. As the day goes on, the bloating can be quite extreme. I don't think I would have been able to hide it at 12 wks in the evening with a bathing suit on. With clothes on, it is much easier. We wanted to make it to 12 wks to tell people too, but we only made it to 7.5 wks for family and 10.5 for friends.

This was the day I found out, at 5w

Then other than major bloatage from 6w on basically I woke up 11w and was showing

and my 12w belly

Here's my progression pic since I didn't keep any of the full range ones.
