So I was browsing pregnant belly photos online and I realized....

That I haven't come across any photos of women who have lost a good amount of weight and then got pregnant while they still have a good amount of loose skin on their stomachs.

I lost 175 pounds a few years ago when I was 21 and my stomach at the bottom has this pouch of loose skin that sags. I've gained about 30 back of that 175 but still have a saggy pouch. And I wanted to know how my belly will look when my bump becomes more prounced. Will it look like a B with the top 1/2 all baby and my lower 1/2 loose skin or will it round out? Sorry. Weird question xD

  • Yes, it may look like a B. I've lost a lot of weight, too, and have lots of excess skin on my lower abdomen; this is my third pregnancy. It will be a more pronounced round shape in the third trimester but you may not feel comfortable in the more fitted maternity clothes because they won't fold neatly under your bump where a flat pelvis ought to be. But obviously, wear what you love and what's comfortable, not what's "best for the bump" Congratulations on the weight loss and pregnancy!

  • Amazing job on the weight loss!
  • Piggybacking on this question (unless this is the same question, and I'm just not awake today): if you've had a baby in the past two years and still have this flubby mommy belly doughy business at the bottom, is it the same thing, where you'll have a weird looking belly and not a nice taught bump?
