Changes in our bodies

LaLaaaa

There are so many things that can happen to our bodies when pregnant.  Linea nigra, darker nipples, the ever popular stretch marks, belly buttons popping out, varicose veins, larger breasts, etc.  I'm just curious what everyone else has been experiencing.

I haven't really noticed any crazy changes, per se.  My already enormous breasts have now become astronomical.  My belly button is definitely starting to push out, but hasn't "popped" yet.  I had varicose veins pre-pregnancy and I do notice they are a little more prominent now.  That's about it for me.  How about you ladies?

Much like you, I actually haven't noticed many changes myself.  My belly button is more shallow now, and my boobs are slightly bigger, but other than that, not much has changed.  I feel fortunate that I haven't felt like I now have a totally different body-mainly just a big belly out in front!

I wish the changes were a little more subtle for me! I feel as awkward as a 13 year old sometimes. Haha My balance is off and I bump into things all the time, my boobs are huge (I went from a 36D to a 36E so far), my belly already gets in the way, my skin is extra dry, and I look like a turtle trying to get off its back when I roll out of bed. Haha Its all in good fun and part of the process, but man! I feel like my body has been hijacked!

My boobs are about a half-cup size bigger and the nips larger.

And that's pretty much it, beyond the bump.  But even there - no stretch marks (yet), no outie bb, no linea nigra..... *shrug*

Not too bad over here yet either.

My boobs went from huge to out-of-control! I was a 30FF pre-prenancy and now I'm wearing 32I nursing bras because they'll the only ones that will control these suckets! I mean and "I" cup is crazy, I didn't think it was too bad until my friend pointed out that it's the 9th letter of the alphabet!

My belly button is flat and I'm pretty sure it'll pop out into an outie soon!

bigger boobs, bigger & darker aeriolas, wider rib cage, more bodyfat on arms and thighs, more cellulite...

I'm not terribly happy with any of these changes, except for the bigger boobs. I feel large and in charge, and like my body is just more matronly. I am looking forward to getting my girlish figure back.

My boobs are where I notice the most change. I have a few stretch marks and the nipples are bigger and darker. My belly protrudes and I hit it on stuff, but from the front you can't really tell. I suppose I'm also hairer in places I'd rather not be...

I had a perfect healthy BMI pre-pregnancy... now I have gained 40 lbs and have half a million stretch marks between my knees and what was once my waist. Ugh! I know I can lose the weight, but it's the stretch marks that really do a number on my morale.

Physically...  bigger breasts and dry skin (but nothing that extra lotion isn't helping).  My biggest complaint is having to pee every 30-60 minutes.  I'm drinking so much water due to the heat that I can't ever be far from a restroom :-)

Probably the most exciting has been my increased bust size. I started out as a "nearly A" (pathetic) and now I'm filling out a full A very well...I even venture over to B land once and a while when I'm feeling extra swollen. Other things include bright blue road maps on my breasts, swelling in my feet and I just got my first stretch mark this week...it is faint and only about an inch long but it is driving me crazy! The strangest thing thus far is the extra chub under my arms. Anybody else growing wings??

My hips are alot wider

Ive gotten some pretty nasty veins in my legs

Other than that, my boobs and especially nips are bigger. My balance is off, my memory SUCKS.. I think thats all. So far no stretch marks but I did get them with my first pregnancy.
