Muffin top

Shana379

So prior to being pregnant, I was losing weight, but still had a muffin top that I was struggling to get rid of. Now, that I am 12 weeks along, I feel like my muffin is bigger, and not quite yet baby, and I just look like I've been gorging on nachos. So far, my weight gain has been about 6lbs. When and will my stomach stop being B shaped and have a nice D shape?

I think everyone is different, but for me with my first I popped at 20 weeks.

I am right there with you! Only at night does it look like a bloat belly right now otherwise just muffin top!

I've got a B too honey. Everyone thinks it's a girl cuz I look like I'm carrying high, it makes me laff cuz I know it's just my top roll that was hardly noticeable before. Now it's popped out. I'm just trying to roll with it! No pun intended...

I know sometimes people with "B" shape bellies have the B shape the whole time. Not always, but it happens. Most people won't get a definite belly until around 20 weeks regardless. I mean, I can stick mine out now and look six months along, but that's always been a talent of mine

This is the worst phase of pregnancy! Everyone goes through the do I look fat or pregnant and you usually don't look as big as you think you are!

GOD it's so nice to see that there are others just like me!  I can stick my gut out too and I totally look like I'm 6 months.  I've always just had a big tummy even though my regular weight is about 135 (I'm 5'7").  I've been sucking it in for years, but now I've lost that power (I guess due to a slowly-growing uterus), so it just hangs out a lot further.  I got a belly band to try and keep things a bit more smoothed out and pushed in, and it works for the most part.  I said goodbye to my regular button-up pants weeks ago (unless I have the band or an elastic to help out)!  It won't be long before I go for some full panel mat pants

I've been saying this entire time that my love handles are growing as fast as my uterus. I've never felt like my love handles were a problem pre pregnancy. Haaa. Oh, the joys.
