B belly anyone??

Anyone else have a b belly? Ugh it's so annoying! I have always had a pooch under my belly button and now that my stomach is growing it looks like there's a rubber band around my belly at my belly button! Gahhhh! Just curious if anyone else is dealing with this or if any STM's have and if your belly button finally popped? 

Re: B belly anyone??

  • My belly looks the same. I have a "band" right at the belly button. I look like I have my regular tummy then the bottom gut area. So my tummy is def not round, at least not yet. I am hoping itll pop soon. Its so frustrating to not look pregnant. I just look like ive gained weight. I am a stm but I was even more overweight with my first child so I never got a defined round tummy then either.

  • Mine hasn't really rounded out yet either. If I wear tight shirts I just looked chunky...

  • I have the same thing. I had twins for my first pregnancy so this one is like I'm a first time mom again. Well and the fact that my twins are almost 14! But take heart you will start to look more like you're pregnant. I have started to just in the last couple weeks.

    yes this!! I can round it out with maternity pants and high waisted undies if I have on a dress... but I still just look gross in t-shirts or tight shirts =( 
  • I haven't been doing any Bump Pics cos I don't see a bump. Just wideness. I think it's starting to round out a bit now, but I've gained 30+lbs and there's no pretty, perfect bump like I always imagined. At a group meeting, even though I'm in the middle of the due dates, I looked more chunky and the least pregnant :(

  • Totally sporting a B belly, but at least the top pooch makes me look actually pregnant... Just with an awkwardly shaped tummy.

  • I rock a B-bump with a deep belly button.  When I gain weight, I always stay small right at the belly button.  Tops that gather under the bust and flow out are your friend!

  • Yep, this is me! I mostly wear shirts that flow out from just under my boobs. They make me look pregnant instead of just chunky.

  • Yaaaas to the B belly! I promise you'll get rounded out and look cute with a big ol bump eventually. I hate the stupid under pooch because certain pants look stupid because I have a spare tire. But I've always looked pregnant each time, with no mistaking that I'm chunky too lol

  • Mine is filling out some, but I'd still consider it a "b." I wear flowy tops and dresses which make me look very pregnant. I think I still look pregnant in tighter shirts, but you can see the little dip where my belly goes in around my belly button. 
  • With my son. I think I was 28 weeks.  b belly would eventually just hide under my massive bump as the weeks went on lol

  • @EISG918 that belly is so cute!!! 

    This is was at like 18 weeks but you can see in my first pic I had that dang pooch! And I've only gained 12 pounds... I feel like my fat is just distributing haha!! 
  • No worries, you will round out soon enough! My stupid pooch is noticeable depending on what I wear. I wear my pants below my belly button... In between the bump and the fat and a lot of times I wear high waisted underwear (judge away lol) because it makes my stomach not jiggle as much and it rounds it out more.

  • Also I wear longer shirts so they kind of hang over the fat pooch, pregnant or not  :)

  • On the left is me on a regular basis but on the right I have a belly band on. I think it helps smooth things out ever so slightly but the b is still noticeable. I am assuming by time I am full term I will be HUGE as I am only almost 24 weeks.

  • I have a B belly too and I feel like I just look chubbier. Everyone tells me I look preg but I Dont see it unless I weAR a dress.i
