I'm sad: Never going to have a round belly...

I was definitely plus size to begin with before getting pregnant, and then my LO was breach, then transverse so the upper part of my belly was much larger than the bottom. But even now that she's head down I still have a B belly. It's the one thing I'm kind of bummed about...makes me want to stuff my belly and make it look cute! (would never do it though...don't worry)

    I feel you completely. In fact I don't even feel I look pregnant. My B-Belly caused me to look huge in my baby shower pictures while opening gifts and I wanted to cry. I was an 18/20 pre pregnancy, but carried all my weight in the front. I've gained 13 lbs but the pics are awful lol. I try not to think about it. We went to dinner for my friends birthday Saturday night, and her and my boyfriend split a pitcher of beer. He told the waitress to bring 2 mugs (there were 3 of us at the time). She brought 3 and started to pour the third glass for me. It took a lot for me not to burst into tears. Later another friend showed up with two gigantic gift bags full of baby stuff she had gotten for us. Super sweet, and when we left the waitress said congratulations. But it just reminded me that I still don't look pregnant and probably won't. lol *sigh*

    I only look pg while standing up and only in shirts that "drop" from the top of my belly.  If you can see the bottom of my belly I just look like I have a really weird shape.

    Sitting down, forget about it.  I just look really fat.  Even people who know I am pg ask me "how long" and I've started saying "humor me and guess".  The highest number I got was 6 months.  I laughed!

    When I had DD I went to the hospital after my water broke.  They were slightly frantic until I said I was 40wks.  Even the medical professionals thought I was too small.

    I know how you feel. I have A LOT of excess skin from Gastric Bypass surgery that I carry around my middle that caused me to have a "B" belly shape.  I am secretly envious of all the mommies to be that get to have that classic "round" pregnancy belly.

    Now that I am just starting my 8th month, I definitely look way more pregnant that I ever did. Before, I guess I looked like I indulged in too many donuts.

    But then I feel my LO kick me, roll inside of me and do his thing and I am most definitely reminded that I am pregnant...lol.

    I went from having a B-Belly to a box belly.  When I sit, it then turns back into a B-belly.  Certain clothes, especially dresses, just look ridiculous on me.  As much as I'm happy to be pregnant with a healthy baby, I still have some vanity and just want to look nice in clothing.

    It isn't just based on weight PP!

    I am a normal healthy weight for my height and my belly is rounded, but completely flat on 'top' where my belly button is.

    It is the strangest thing. I thought it got like that because I put on so much weight with J, but this go 'round I have stayed at normal/slightly underweight and I could still balance a glass on my belly button.

    I also get jealous of all those cute basketball bellies!
