Something similar happened to me while I was pregnant with my first son, except no one came out and told me. ( I wish they had. ) I was still foolishly trying to fit in my "normal" clothes becuase I dreaded the maternity ones, so when I finally started using them around 5 or 6 months everyone began to make comments like, wow, we were wondering when you'd start wearing those, your belly is getting pretty big! Or, it's about time, your other clothes were getting a little tight don't you think? No, I didn't think so, but obviously they did. I was darn proud of my belly and loved to show it off, every pregnant woman should. Now that you are starting to show, start to wear baggier clothes, or maternity tops paired with normal bottoms if you wish. Maternity tops are nice becuase they emphasize your tummy so people know you are pregnant, and not just gaining some weight. Congratulations and don't worry about what others have to say!

Honestly, it irritates me when women let their bellys hang out at work too. I work in an office, and I think it looks terrible to our clients. They did have every right to say something to you, BUT if you say it isn't true and your shirt fully covers your belly, then stand up for yourself. But if one person felt offended or put off by even ONE shirt you wore a couple weeks ago, they do have the right to say something and give you a warning. Even though it's a natural and beautiful process, it's still "mid drift" showing and isn't really professional attire for work. Buy some cute maternity tops for work and make sure they are long enough that if you stretch or reach they don't come up too far. Good Luck!!

this sounds like bullying.
i had a problem at work where my supervisor told my boss i hadnt done any of the work on the cleaning list the night before. he told the other staff members i was lazy and incompitent!
i disscued the issue with my boss and he decided to check the CCTV tapes of the cafe area and saw that i had infact done my job correctly he was sacked a week later for his lies and behaviour. (he found out several compaints about me were infact written by my supervisor and not customers)
discuss the issue with your boss asap and just to be safe invest in a maternity shirt this will cover you and no one can then make a complaint about your dress.
it sounds as though these people have an issue with your pregnancy.
have you had any special treatment because of the pregnancy other than the usual drs apointments?
this could be p****** them off.
its definatly not your fault and you need to sought it before it gets any worse!
good luck

If no skin is showing, then you are not doing anything wrong. If your shirt is just starting to strech over your belly, then they shouldn't be able to say anything about it because it's due to the pregnancy. You'll probably have to start wearing bigger shirts anyway, but as long as you are not showing any skin, you should tell your bosses that you find it offensive that they would bring you in for that.

I would continue to dress appropriately. You can't keep your belly from stretching your shirt when you're pregnant. It sounds like they are setting up to ditch you. They will rack up all these false accusations of things you did wrong. Start keeping a journal of anything they say to you and watch your back. Cover your butt very carefully and be prepared if they bring up something you supposedly did wrong.

you are just gonna have to get bigger shirts. when i was 4 months i didn't even look pregnant. but i got a maternity shirt anyway. they fit alot better and are more comfortable. plus normal shirts won't cover your belly correctly.

seem up BNP in Wikipedia, and you will discover out purely what variety of human beings they are; open admirers of Hitler having held extreme positions interior the celebration, and the present chief asserting he does not have confidence the Holocaust happened. I even have oftentimes used Holocaust survivors, and am horrified that anybody is treating the BNP with something different than disgust.

you need to buy some maternity shirts, it is not appropriate to show your belly at work, regardless of what your co-workers say.
