is your belly sticking out?

MrsL1022 · May 2012

My belly is now sticking out the bottom of all my maternity shirts. This is SO ANNOYING! I am not about to go buy more clothes at this stage of the game. I guess he is dropping b/c I had plenty of length on my shirts last week. I just want to feel fully clothed in public for the next few weeks. I guess I will be playing t-shirt tug of war until the end. Anyone else notice this?

My belly isn't sticking out yet, but my shirts (maternity & regular) are all getting shorter. I am like you- I am not about to go buy more clothes at this point. I am just basically wearing the same things over & over again that tend to be stretchier/longer. I am SO ready for clothes to just FIT again!!

Oh my goodness yes!! I always thought it was trashy when pregnant women walked around with their belly hanging out in public until I was accidentally that person! I put on my shirt and my yoga pants and about halfway through my shopping trip I realized the whole bottom of my belly, stretch marks and all were on display lol

so I went home and put on one of DH's shirts.

This is me, too! I have 4 shirts that I just keep wearing over and over because they are the only ones that are still long enough, but even those I have to keep pulling down to make sure I'm covered! It's terrible!

I still wear a few pairs of pants that are not maternity, just stretchy, flowey pants. I just pull them up a little more when I feel a breeze.

Yep, I tried on three shirts yesterday before finding one that covered me enough to leave the house. I haven't dropped yet, it's just from the bump being so darn huge.

I noticed this yesterday... I thought it was just my work shirt... then I got home changed and that shirt was doing it too! Ugg... I just want this cervix check to induce labor!

Yes and its so annoying. At work i where long tank tops under my scrubs and that helps alot. Thinking about getting a belly band as i will probably need it for awhile after ava gets here and baby number 2 once i lose the weight.

Luckily, I have a short torso and inherited a lot of my clothes from a girl who liked longer shirts, so I haven't had THAT problem, BUT I was still able to wear a bunch of my pre-preg shirts that were wider/stretchier until my belly started to stick out under them :-/ The weird thing is (and maybe I just can't tell), that I don't think that the baby dropped! Or at least, my stomach doesn't look lower - just kinda bigger.

I am laughing at my above comment. WHO am I kidding?! I am sure he didn't drop I am just that HUGE. That is probably why my shirts are short. I am so OVER being pg. I guess I will see if I dropped or if I am just huge in about an hour at my appointment.

Some of my shirts have gotten too short (yes, I'm blaming the shirts.) I still have some nice shirts that I wear when I have to be out, but at home, I'm stealing my husband's football jerseys.

theabbey5 · May 2012

YES! I am pretty much wearing dresses everyday now.

amberleeb · May 2012

Yep all since she dropped last week I am always yanking on my shirt to keep my belly covered!

FutureNichols · May 2012

Yeah i have noticed. What the heck is the point of wearing a maternity shirt if I am going to look crazy anyway lol.

krb03 · May 2012

Mine was starting to about the week/week 1/2 before DD was born. Annoying, but just think, not too much longer!

HeyThereGoodLookin · May 2012

Yup, mine started sticking out a week or two ago. I've started to layer some men's Hanes underneath, but I might not be doing that for long since it's getting so hot here.

angelrue522 · May 2012

Yes! My maternity tops have all gotten too small. I wear these super long cheap tank tops under them to cover the underbelly. Frustrating!

chicagocubsfan23 · May 2012

Yes and I hate it! But at least with my maternity pants on it isn't my skin sticking out, it's just the stretchy part of the pants. That makes me feel a little better

Same here, sometimes just the stretchy part of my full pannel pants show. My belly is really only exposed when I'm at home in my jamies, and I really don't care if it shows then.

Yes! All the little kids in DD's preschool class were peeking under my shirt when I picked her up today, it was kind of cute (if a bit embarrassing lol).

Adventurers · May 2012

Yes!!! I just got a black and a white belly band and am wearing one or the other every day over pants and under shirt to prevent the sneaky belly exposure and tug of war with the bottom of my shirts! I will be able to wear them for a while after baby, too, and if I don't have another pregnancy, I can sell them, so it's worth it to me. I feel so much more comfortable. It's hard to push a grocery cart and hold a shirt down!!
