People Staring...How long do you hold out?

Several people at work have been checking out my bloated belly. At first I thought I was being paranoid. When I mentioned it to my friend (she works with me and knows)she said that she didn't want to lie, but that she noticed they were looking at my belly too! I am only 7.5 weeks preggo and had no intentions of telling anyone from work until 12 weeks, but not sure I can hold off. How long did you hold out before telling coworkers and your boss?

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

After I told my coworkers at 13 wks, they said they all knew for at least a month. I kind of thought they figured it out but I waited until 13 wks anyway (I have a history of MC though so no way was I telling early).

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I told at 13w and I had definitely gotten a couple of odd looks in the few days prior!

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I waited until 12 weeks even though many coworkers were staring and whispering behind my back starting at 8 weeks....

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

DD # 1 I told people around 8 weeks

DS I started telling people around 13 weeks. For some reason I was more paranoid this time around.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I told my coworker friends at around 8 weeks, they were noticing that I wasn't drinking coffee anymore, drinking a lot more water, etc. anyway. My bosses I waited until I was 16 weeks.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I told my coworkers at 12 weeks, there was no staring at all before that. BUT...I only told my dept. so it was quite funny to see other people start staring at me later on. I never told anyone else unless they asked...I figured they would realize eventually that YES I am in fact pregnant!

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I'm just about 8 weeks and feel and look bloated too. I feel that I can't wear anything clingy because I've always had a flat stomach now I look a little bloated.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I gained a bunch of weight after I had DS (unaddressed post-partum depression), so no one noticed, per se. What happened with me was I suddenly became a tremendous moron, so I found myself telling people sooner than I would've liked (8 or 9 weeks) to explain all the stupid things I was doing/saying.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I don't plan on telling anyone until after 12 weeks, but i feel bloated already. I'm only 7w4d, i hope i can make it.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

The day I found out I was pregnent I told one co-worker... the end of the day the whole office knew... so long for keeping a secret! LOL.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I am 7.5 weeks and I am starting to notice "lingering stares" I'm not telling for as long as I can, hopefully 12 weeks.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I didnt tell my friends until i was 13+

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

i told my friends at work at 8 weeks, my boss at 10, and the rest of teh nosy bodies found out at 12 or 13 weeks.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

told my bosses at 9 weeks, and my coworkers at 12 or 13.

can you wear different clothes so that you aren't showing as much? maybe a suit jacket or something over your shirts?

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I told co-workers at 18 weeks, once i knew everything was ok....and i was shocked that most of them didn't know....i just made sure to wear baggier clothes at work before..

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I told at 14 weeks and NOONE was surprised

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

I waited til after my 12 week sono. Like you, I thought everyone had known for weeks, but everyone seemed very surprised.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

People at where I work were talking too, but I held out until 12 weeks to first tell my boss and then let it out to everyone else.

Re: People Staring...How long do you hold out?

waited and told everyone at 12weeks
