I said no b/c I make an effort not to when out in public. But when I get up off the couch at home I have to waddle for a bit b/c of the pressure I feel low in my belly.

Honestly most of the time I can't tell, at the end of the day or if I've been on my feet for a while I can tell but usually it takes someone pointing it out to me for me to notice.

I don't think that people realize they are waddling.......I know I was in denial until I saw a video of me walking away from the camera and almost had a heart attack. I have since then embraced my duck status.

When I'm fully, absolutely, otherwise not really.

When I first get up from sitting and when I have to go to the bathroom for sure. Otherwise... well, probably then, too, but not as bad

When I'm really tired usually by the end of the day, yes. Otherwise, I try not to waddle too much in public. lol

My groin and lower abdomen are uncomfortable enough when I walk that waddling is my default. It's my way of trying to hide the pain. Very subtle I know ;-)

I wasn't aware of it till Easter. We went for a walk in the woods on DH grandma's farm. He kept looking back at me and asking me repeatedly if I was alright. It got to the point I was annoyed and asked him why he kept asking and apparently he was worried because I was waddling.

Depends on where LO is, if she's really REALLY low then yes, but if she is a bit higher up then no...

This exactly! I am carrying low and I still don't need to waddle. I know some people can't help it (most likely me included within the next month), but it seems like its overkill for some women...

This 100%

I didn't think I waddled too badly but a few co-workers have commented about it and even a patient that saw me walking from behind! O well bring on the duck calls!!

I have a herniated disk in my lower back and waddling helps relieve some of the back pain and pressure. I try not to waddle too bad, but if it's the only way that I can get a little relief from my back pain then bring on the duck calls.
