"B" Belly?

msT2B

Is anyone else rocking a "B"-shaped belly rather than a nice round "D"-shaped belly?

yep, even at 20 weeks, I still havent' completly lost my "waist."

I had a "B" belly for the longest time...I was a little chunky before getting pregnant but not very...just took forever for my bellybutton to want to come out to the front!  It is basically a "D" now, still a little indent in the middle...but I found that full panel mat pants and my bella-band helped smooth the "B" to a "D" before it did it on it's own!

I had a bit of a B belly until about 23 weeks.  Then I really popped and now I am most definitely a big ol' D belly.  I'm on the chunky side so I figured it would take me a bit longer to look pregnant but now there is no doubt.

Yes, 24 weeks and I still have a "B".  In maternity clothes and especially with the Be-band, it looks more like a "D", but without any clothes, there's still an indent.  Hoping it goes away soon!

I'm still a B belly but I can feel the belly button and waist pulling so I imagine (and HOPE) i'll be rounding out to a D soon.

I was kinda overweight too, not HUGE, but a size 12ish. I wonder if that's why it takes us longer to look "really" pregnant.

Thanks for this post, it's really annoying me too! I will look into the band, my SIL recommended it as well.

I have a b bump. But I blame it on my granny panties that I'm not willing to give up. As soon as they don't fit, I'll switch! I swear! But until then my undies separate my bump into baby and pushed around stomach flab.

The Bella Band (or similar) definitely helps with the B belly. I had it bad with my 1st pregnancy.  I actually used my Bella Band the entire pregnancy just to kind of smooth things down. It came in handy post-partum for the same reason!

I was a size 6 pp and I have the "B" belly now...I dont' think it's necessarily a weight thing. The "D" will come soon enough, I guess, and until then there is full belly panels to smooth it out!

27 weeks and not even close to a D belly yet. I started off a size 18...

I was a 2/4 before BFP and I'm still in my size 2 pants with a bella band. I think I have what you are calling a b belly... My blog has a photo.

if so it's more of a 'the way we're built' because even @ size 2 I had a layer of chub under my belly button that I just couldn't get rid of. 

ps- it was a lot of dieting and exercise to get to a 2, so don't hate me

same here at 25 weeks!! i want a D belly so bad but ive got this grand canyon thing going on at my belly button! I haven't put on that much weight and ppl keep reminding me that so i wonder if i gained more weight would it pop!? my doctor says im doing fine so i'm not changing anything im doing just yet. i'll just keep looking forward to my belly button popping out, maybe i can ask my LO to stick her foot on it and help me shape up!

I rocked a b-belly to 41 weeks last time, it never went away. 

 

HOPING for a cute D belly this time :-) Good luck.
