Buy a special top for pregnant women
Tops designed for pregnant women have a special cut. Thanks to him, clothes have the opportunity to highlight the beautiful appearance of a pregnant girl. And, at the same time, provides her with a complete level of comfort.
During pregnancy, we strongly advise against wearing baggy shirts. It is important to give preference to those things that can highlight and visually decorate your figure. We recommend purchasing tops that fit your body perfectly. Or those of them whose style is the so-called Empire style. That is, those that have a high waist. Such clothes can perfectly highlight your existing shape.
Buy special dresses for pregnant women
Pay attention to dresses that have a cut called empire. Also, buy those with a tight-fitting bodice. These types of dresses will look very beautiful on you.

You can wear the same clothes as before pregnancy. Just purchase it in accordance with the new sizes. It is important that you feel comfortable in your clothes.
Buy yourself comfortable shoes
It is desirable that it be flat. For example, you can buy sandals. Keep in mind that during pregnancy you will periodically experience swelling in your legs. Therefore, shoes should be as comfortable as possible.
After you give birth to your baby, the leg will return to its previous state. It will shrink in size. Accordingly, you will no longer need new shoes. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing too expensive models.
Pay attention to not too expensive, but high-quality shoes. You can buy, for example, moccasins. Sandals are also ideal. It is important that they have a flat sole. And, at the same time, they sat on the leg as comfortably as possible.
Medical aspect
Whatever the motives of the expectant mother when hiding or emphasizing her pregnancy, she should keep in mind the following aspects that do not depend on her desire to say something to others or not to say.
Until 12 weeks of pregnancy (3 months), the size of the uterus does not extend beyond the pelvis, and only by 12 weeks the upper border (fundus) of the uterus reaches the level of the pubis. By this time, the size of the uterus resembles a man’s fist. But since there is a lot of space in the small pelvis, the circumference of the abdomen and, accordingly, the waist does not actually change. In addition, if a woman has nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite, which often happens, especially during her first pregnancy, then it is possible that a slight weight loss may even occur. By 20 weeks, the fundus of the uterus reaches the level of the navel. By this time, you can already notice a slight increase in the abdomen, but often this is not noticeable. Much depends on the style and type of clothing a woman wears.
In general, the following can be considered as disadvantages of a pregnancy hidden from others:
- All ailments, toxicosis, etc. will also have to be hidden, not counting on the understanding, help and sympathy of others.
- Those around you will not understand your sudden aversion to smoking and smokers and your reluctance to inhale other people's cigarette smoke.
- Dietary preferences and refusal of alcohol will also need to be explained somehow, especially if you have never denied yourself anything before; you will be haunted by puzzling questions.
- Now you won’t be able to run, jump, rush up the stairs as before, and you’ll also have to come up with an explanation for this.
As a result, no matter what you come up with, you will be perceived as a suddenly ill person, since your behavior is unlikely to fit into the fairy tale about a new healthy stage in your life.
Therefore, from a medical point of view, there are no obvious advantages here, with the exception of mental comfort from fulfilling your intended goal - misinforming others about your real situation.
True, a serious reason not to talk about your pregnancy for now could be the situation of a previous miscarriage. The most dangerous period is up to 12 weeks, so it would be wise to wait this time before telling others about the unborn child.

how to hide your belly during pregnancy with clothes
Analyzes
.
Having approached the “equator” of pregnancy, that is, at exactly 20 weeks, we were informed by phone that the amniotic fluid analysis was in order, and also confirmed that we were expecting a girl! This happened on Wednesday, February 27, 2016, exactly three weeks after the analysis. On Friday, February 29, 2016, they reported that the genetic chip analysis was also ok. The written notification will arrive by mail 3 weeks after the oral one. We wait. And, of course, we rejoice at the anniversary and the good news. It was hard to wait for results, especially in the last week.
Movements
.
As I already said, from the 16th week I felt periodic tapping in the lower abdomen. From the middle of the 19th week, the tapping became more noticeable, you can even feel it by placing your hand on your stomach. Once even I even saw a push! I noticed that the baby begins to move actively when I lie on my back. From the 21st week the knocking intensified, and now she likes to “beat” my bladder, so I have to “run” more often than usual 
Nausea
.
As I said earlier, until about the 14th week I was constantly feeling very nauseous. I developed a dislike for pickles, radishes, and coffee. I haven't found any ways to reduce the feeling of nausea. Sometimes sucking candy helped. At week 14, vomiting in the morning and aversion to meat, fish, and eggs (including baking with eggs) increased. Kiwi helps a little. Around the 16th week, the vomiting went away, but the nausea remained. Added to this were dizziness and low blood pressure. From the 18th week I felt sick after eating, especially liquid food. From the middle of the 20th week I feel that I feel less sick without a system: I can feel sick before or after eating if I get nervous or walk uphill. I still have an aversion to the above products.
Food and drink
.
Almost every week my food preferences change a little. I mainly eat cereals, soups, vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, halva, a little chocolate, all kinds of cereals, cheeses, and drinking yoghurts.
I drink tea, water, cocoa. Occasionally weak coffee and drinks. From the 20th week it started to dry out, so I increased the amount of water consumed.
Vitamins
.
I started taking folic acid 3-4 months before the planned pregnancy. A month before the planned pregnancy, I started taking B-12, since my level was low. I took the course for 4 months.
It’s sad that I didn’t know that Prenatal should have been taken even before pregnancy. In the first trimester, my mother-in-law recommended it to me, but I was skeptical about it, because I firmly believed in doctors, they say, if they don’t prescribe it, then it’s not necessary. As it turns out, it’s just right! I started taking it in the second trimester. Also, after reading the forums and also in connection with the refusal of fish and meat, I added Omega 3 for pregnant women from Altman to the diet (it includes folic acid, so I no longer take it separately). After a blood test at week 16, it turned out that I had low iron, so I asked to be prescribed Ferifol, which is the most gentle in terms of iron side effects. One of these days I’ll get tested again to see how it worked.
Weight
.
I lost weight until about the 17th week. Only -6 kg from the beginning of pregnancy. To date (at the beginning of the 21st week) I have gained one and a half kilograms. Let's see how it goes.
Stomach
.
Increased sharply by the 19th week. It is small and matches the photographs on the Internet. But, on the one hand, it is impossible to hide it; on the other hand, in clothes it is not always clear that we are talking about the belly of a pregnant woman. So, for now, they won’t give up the place to me.
Sport
.
I went to a trial pregnancy gymnastics class at Studio C at 18 weeks. I felt very dizzy, so I had to put it off for another couple of weeks. I took an additional trial lesson in week 20 and then signed up. For now for 2 months. We'll see how it goes. In general, the impression of the classes is good.
Job.
Despite nausea, vomiting and other ailments, she practically did not miss work. The exception is vacation and a lingering cold that lasted almost a month. During this cold I had to take several sick days to recover. In general, I am glad that going to work is not particularly difficult, although the one-way journey takes almost an hour and a half: it takes 15 minutes to walk to the train station, 45-50 minutes by train and 20 minutes uphill from the train. I’m horrified to think what will happen if it becomes really difficult for me to get there.
Cloth
.
Of the things I bought for pregnancy, I use maternity jeans (mothercare - normal, still a little big), maternity tights (mothercare - I recommend thick ones and h&m - I don’t recommend thin ones), a maternity bra (mothercare - a good cotton one) and tights (h&m). I also bought a couple of T-shirts, a couple of sweaters, and another pair of jeans with a wide, tight elastic band (not very comfortable yet, apparently I have to wait until my stomach grows and thickens). Besides this, I mostly wear dresses that hang a little on me due to the weight I’ve lost. Until recently, I also wore regular tights and low jeans. Now my belly is too big.
Preparing for childbirth
.
It’s quite sluggish for now, but very soon we are going to start dismantling the mezzanines, closets, some refurbishment of the apartment, as well as compiling lists of necessary purchases and exploring all kinds of stores with goods for babies.
That's all for now, I guess. Something like this
How to dress without being hot?
