If it makes you feel better to try and hide your bump till schools finished than that is your choice do whats right by you.

If your not going back to school and your worried what they will say dont say anything if you can get away with it. if you cant then try not to worry about telling them.

Good Luck Chick xxxx

i originally posted this thread because all i want to do is hide it until my exams. when i say i have a tiny frame, i fit comfortably into a size 4 and im not even skinny, i have a tiny waist and im well proportioned. i eat loads but ive never had a belly on me in my life. my uniform is a shirt and jumper, which wont hide any bump, especially as the weather is getting warmer. my school is very strict, you can go into isolation just for chewing gum or swearing. that is my situation and we are all in different ones, but if i thought my school would be ok with a pregnant teenager, i wouldnt have posted this thread in the first place. i hope it helps now that ive given you more detail on my circumstances. i didnt mean to start all this controversy, all i askd for was advice

bless ya, must be a Difficult time for you, all i can say is take one day at a time, some people really dont show no matter how small til there 5, 6 months so hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones. If not your going have to speak to head of school with some support from a family member or a close friend and take it from there.

hunny, please dont feel people are ganging up on you. Pregnancy from any angle is such an emotional time. Everybody finds it difficult, just all for different reasons.

I understand you must be so worried, but you musnt think of how to cover it up. You have to think of how to live with it.

Maybe you could go buy a few shirts in the next size up so that theyre not so tight on you, things like that wont harm anybody. I think youll be just fine hun, please dont worry. If youre thinking about your bump that'll probably make other people aware fo it too. If you try to forget about it, others wont even look. You just wait and see.

I was talking to a girl who is due the start of june..she isn't showing atall!! i can't believe shes 7 months!
No-one is being nasty and sorry if u feel like that a think people are just trying to give u advise u might be taking the wrong way... Blame it on the hormones..i always do lol!
Everything will be fine its never as bad as you think it is and u'll learn that even if it takes to have the baby actually in ur arms.
But if ur really small built (lucky for some lol) then theres a slim chance ur gna have a hugeee big giant bump! so dont let it get to u!
end of the day..this website is for people to help each other out..so dont think anyones against u..
but it takes time for a bump to develop so dont go thinking ur going to wake up tommorow with a massive belly lol

I was really shocked by this thread to start with... but I've been reading through your replies, and I have to say, you really sound like you have your head screwed on, and have some very mature and intelligent things to say. I do think that even if you are showing by then, which you probably will be, you should just not say anything. I don't think anyone is going to point blank ask you if you're pregnant, and if they do, just say you've put on a bit of weight, and have Monthly Bloating.
I'm not saying that you should be denying your pregnancy to yourself, or those close to you though, that will just cause bigger problems in the long run. Do your parents know?

no i still havent told them! its really easy for everyone to say that the sooner you tell them, the better it will be, but i just cant bring myself to do it. i was thinking about waiting until around 12 weeks before telling them?

I honostly think you need to tell your perants, i don't know from which home you come, but you need to see your doctor firstly, and be drinking vitamins for the baby. All i can say is good luck, and i was showing from 8weeks but it was twins up to 15weeks. I think your mum and dad will suport you.

Like everyone else has said trying to squish your bump with bandages isn't a good idea, but I can understand why you are anxious about showing early. I think its great that you want to do you exams and have decided to keep your baby. There are ways for you to disguise your bump that do not cause you or your baby harm, baggy clothes may help you to feel less self concious, and I'm sure that once your exams are behind you you will have time to deal with your situation and soon enough will be incredibly proud of your bump
