Hiding a Pregnant Belly

How can I hide my growing pregnant belly? I'm not ready to share the news yet.

Try to keep the attention away from your belly. A great necklace or dramatic neckline will help. Wearing a blazer or jacket over an untucked shirt also tends to disguise belly size. You can try wearing empire waists; 1940s-style, low-waist fashion; a low, loose belt and a loose shirt or a tunic, with a short dress over pants.

LOTS OF LEGGINGS with flowy dresses are also good.. hike those leggings up as far as they'll go they tend to hide the protruding belly ;)

It hides a little bit of the belly with out applying too much pressure that can make you nauseous, and it makes my pants feel so much nicer (am I the only one who enjoys wearing jeans with panyhose???)
