Anyone rockin' the B bump??

elisbu · May 2012

My belly looks like this .....B. Not this D. I was around a size 16 PP but even when I was at my smallest (a 8/10) I always had a wierd belly, like someone wrapped a tight belt around me right around my belly button.

So now that I'm getting bigger and in maternity clothes, I just look extra fat. Awesome.

Anyone else??

Right there with ya honey. I have hope though, because when I lay down it does flatten out. So maybe when I'm 87 months pregnant in September, I'll have a D. Or at least something closer to a D than a B. LOL

I'll have to be 87 months pregnant to get a D bump. I delived DD #1 at 35 weeks and I was still a B.

Aw! That was actually one of my big fears when I got pregnant is that I'd just look fat. I like to think I do look actually pregnant. Then again, I stick to super flowy shirts and nothing too tight that would actually show the fact that my gut is a B rather than a D. LOL

That is exactly what I do. No one else knows that the belly is B shaped. I was an 18 pre-pregnancy, and I keep HOPING the bumps will merge....

Not necessarily rockin' it - more like trying to hide that it is a B rather than a D.

^^ this... I was an 18 pp. I *try* to rock it, while hiding that B effect. When I lay on my back (for a brief moment) I can see a bump!

I was a size 8-10 pre pregnancy after losing 80 lbs, and I still had the B. I can't stand it! I try to smooth it out with the pants I wear, and I actually got comments on Monday that I look more pregnant. I'm starting to see it round out a little. I have gained a lot of weight back though, so that's not helping my double bump

I was the same size pp. After having the lapband procedure done and losing 100lbs I was finally getting comfortable. I gained 80lbs when I was preg with DS. MY body rebelled against pregnancy. But This time, Im slightly gaining at normal pace, I actually lost 10 lbs the first 3 mos because I was so sick. I still have my lapband and I still have restriction but the Ob/gyn said that as long as I take in 900 cals a day Im good with the prenatal gummies and protein shakes occasionally too. But I like you finally starting to get compliments that I look pregnant and not just chubs.

I also have the B! I find that it looks more like a D when I wear my full panel pants, which help smooth things out.

What???? No way. No way in hell is there a doctor that says that 900 TOTAL calories a day is good for you and the baby. You should be up to easily 1800 (1500 + 300extra for pregnancy).

CraftyKayla · May 2012

Me too. I was a 6 pre-pregnancy, but I've always held my weight in my stomach. I still feel like people who don't know me just think I'm extra fat from the way my stomach is going. Plus, LO hangs out really low, so it's not even like he's helping my bump look rounder.

I side-eye that as well. 900 calories isn't very healthy for anyone, let alone a pregnant woman. Did you mean 1900?

Me too Yes

Erino901 · May 2012

Me, me!!!! I was a 16 too, and I'm definitely a B instead of a D. A very lopsided B. It's finally becoming more D-like, but I still look weird when I'm wearing pants/skirt and a shirt instead of a dress. I described it once as looking like two marshmallows smushed together!

"Do I look pregnant, or just fat?" is a daily question for DH.

ETSeago · May 2012

Me too!! OMG! I thought I was the only one! Even at my smallest (size 6 - I'm a 14 now) I had a "B" shaped belly. This is my first child and I was kinds scared that it wasn't more round.

Starry Again · May 2012

My boobs still exceed my belly. I don't think it is attractive and my back hurts a ton.

sweets92175 · May 2012

Me, Me, Me!!!! I look like I just have an extra fat belly. My DH tries to say he sees a bump forming but I see nothing! I am still wearing most of my regular clothes. I'm hoping for a "D" soon! Big Smile

This is me too! The other day DH asked why I have a line through my belly. So I had to explain to him that the bottom part is where the babies are and the top part is my old belly fat being pushed up. I was a size 8 pre-pregnancy with a slightly pudgy belly.
