3rd Trimester

When does B belly go away?!

When did you ladies with a B belly finally start to round out? Or is it possible I will have a B belly the whole time?

I was a size 20 pp. Any help advice, stories you have will help. When I had my last ultrasound at 24 wks. the baby was still below my belly button lying sideways. And I feel kicks below my belly button, nothing above yet. Is it possible this baby will be below my belly button the whole time?

Re: When does B belly go away?!

  • I was 16/18 pp.   I don't really have a clear B belly anymore, but it's definitely still there.   I've noticed that it really rounded out about a week ago.

    But your body is different than mine... there's no telling what yours will do.  My SIL had a B belly her whole pregnancy, it was just hard at the bottom.

  • I was a size 12/14 closer to 14 pp and it has only been since 24-26 weeks and I personally still feel like below the belly button still looks slightly bigger.  I covered most of it up by wearing over the bump trousers and found that wearing a bump band also helped to smooth it out.
  • I was a size 12 pre-pg, my baby kicks well above my belly button into my ribcage and lungs, and I still have a bit of a B belly! At least my belly button hasn't popped. :)

  • I have no clue what a B belly is, but I'm guessing you mean your belly resembles a "B"? And you'd prefer a "D" shape?
  • Mine started to really round out about 1-2 weeks ago.  Now it is pretty round.

  • Mine didn't go away quite completely - I have (had) a really deep belly button which attributed to the B belly. Since my button never popped, the B never went away. It did become less noticeable tho!
  • I was about your size pre-preg.  At almost 38 weeks I still have one.  I guess I'll never have the cute pregnant belly :(  On the plus side I'm carrying pretty small, and haven't had to wear maternity clothes, so I guess that's good.

    Maybe next time!

    This. I blame my gaping hole of a belly button for why I haven't quite rounded out. I was a 12 almost 14 pre-pregnancy, but I can still make it look round now with full panel pants.

  • I still have mine (35 weeks pg).  However, the 'top' part sticks out way further (and is all hard uterus) so you can't really tell in clothes anymore.  Also, it has shallowed out a little bit (less of a B, but still a B).  I was a 24 pp.
  • Mine is starting to fade a little tiny bit but I am not sure if it will ever totally go away. i was a 12/14 pp
  • Between 28-32 weeks I had a 'growth spurt' and the belly finally filled out.

  • I'd say right about 33-34 weeks for me.

    This is exactly the same for me.  I was a size 6 pre-pregnancy.  My belly button is very deep though and still has yet to pop.  It doesn't look like it ever will because it is still fairly deep now.  I look like I have a pot-hole in the middle of my bump.

  • I was a size 5/6 pp and my B belly is still there =( DH says it's really not that noticeable now, but it's all I see when I look at my belly! Why can't I have a cute round belly like everyone else?! LOL!! I'm learning to love it though ;)
