Comment on How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable?

My mom told me when she had me, she told people that she was was just getting fatter so people didn’t suspect she is having a second child…
And she had to quit work as it got later into the pregnancy…
Somehow I lived… 🤷♂️

Do you have any idea of at which point she quit work, like how many months/weeks into it?

She said she had to quit work like somewhere between 1-2 months before my expected birth.
Actually she said the management for the company she worked at found out, but sort of just decided like “turn one eye blind” and didn’t really report it so I got lucky…
Mom constandly tells me about women that get taken to hospitals for forced abortions…
And she tells me to “be grateful” for being alive…
And I sort of have an existential crisis over this…
She was supposed get checked for pregnancy every 3 months, but she told me she told another woman to do the exams in her name so they never found out about my existence until it’s too late.
TLDR: Basically she got away with it for like 7 months or so before the management at her work started to notice its a pregnancy. I don’t know if the average bystander even know or maybe assume its the first pregnancy or just didn’t care, idk if her coworkers knew, but I don’t think people would dig deep into other’s bussiness unless they really like snitching.
