I understand that you don't want people to know that you are in your 3rd months but anywhere else you do it they will know I would suggest to do it at night and have your husband buy 2 chicken and one rooster and bring it to you at home or walk away from the crowd. The lub yeshiva or whoever do it at night and most people don't pay attention to anyone else as far as I remember people are tired and want to get it over with.

Ask the rov.

We learned in a shiur that if it's the beg. of pregnancy, it's okay to use just one of each, so as not to attract attention.

I was in the same situation last year and to top it off my husbands sibblings were at my house too! So the solution: my husband took the kids at a regular time while I was resting, and we went later to Bais Rivka at like 12/1 am and there were very few people and we went behind a car and that was it, no one knew Smile

We also spoke to a Rav and I only had to do one chix and one rooster , so that too was helpful!
The best of luck to you!

A friend of mine was VERY early in her pregnancy last year. Recently I asked her what she did, and she said she did her 3 birds in a box and it was so busy that no one was watching. Everyone was engrossed in their own birds. In her opinion, she thinks it would have drawn more attention to go off somewhere than to just do it there and get it done with.

well where I live one has to drive for a good 30 min to where the kaparos is and my brother in law always comes with I m at the very beg of pregnancy I don't know what I will do cause he askes questions all the time if anything is not like he remembers. I hate waking up at 5:30 in the morning also I wish it was our minhag to do it with fish or money or I lived in ny what a mehaya.
