How I hid my pregnancy


 


It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell. 


I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for. 


Clothing and appearance


I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie. 


Behaviour


I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue).


Situational adjustments


I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people might notice physical changes.


Key things to remember: 


Health and wellness


It is crucial to maintain regular prenatal care even if you are hiding the pregnancy. Continue to eat healthily and take your prenatal vitamins.


Psychological and social considerations


Even if you're hiding the pregnancy from the general public or online, consider confiding in a trusted friend or family member for support. I told a few trusted friends and family members and only choose to not share on social media and people not in my close circle. 


Each situation is unique and while this can help at the start and sometimes right to the end it can be harder to adjust and make work right to the end. I tend to show quite a lot and by 30 weeks pregnant my jumpers when out and about didn’t cut it but I thankfully didn’t run into many people I knew in those situations.

Introduction to me

Hi everyone. My name is Phoebe; I live in the countryside of New Zealand, but I was actually born in Tasmania, Australia, on June 30th 2003.

How I manage to run three blogs

   Although in 2024 I am only updating two of my three blogs I still thought I would write this blog post as is.  It’s no easy task running three blogs on totally different subjects while maintaining an upload schedule you can stick to but this is how I manage.  I spend one week a year working on my blogs; that’s right only a week. Here is a breakdown so you can better understand how I do this.  Day one: I will look all over the internet and my own brain coming up with ideas for my blog posts  Day two: I chose twelve ideas for each blog and write down what I want to include in my post   Day three: I will make blog graphics up for each post Day four: I will write and edit my writing blog Day five: write and edit main blog  Day six: write and edit endometriosis blog  Day seven: finish up any posts I didn’t get too.  I spend maybe a total of ten hours in that week period working on my blog; I preschedule them so that I don’t have to even th...
