This may seem like a small thing, but...

in Pregnant after 35

I'm really enjoying watching my belly go from two rolls of fat to one firm bump. It's kind of funky to watch. Every day, I lose the little bit that goes "in" between what used to be my two rolls. LOL

It will be so nice to finally look pregnant and not just like my fat decided to move around the neighbourhood, so to speak.

    Well I understand because I am looking forward to that.  I still don't think I look pregnant.  I haven't worn many of my maternity clothes yet though so that will probably help.  We need to do bump pics on this board :).

    I know how you feel with my daughter I just felt like I was getting fat for a while, once I started to get the harder belly I was much more happier

    I understand- I had the "double bubble" for a while and then it slowly "inflated" like a balloon- haha! At one pt it was even square! :)

    I am looking forward to having a bump. I have a hard time standing for any period of time and I am sick of feeling guilty for taking a seat on the train or bus on the way home. (It's just over an hour on each so that would be a long time to stand)

    I started out heavier than I am used to being and so a nice bump would also make me feel better. I hate walking around just looking chubby. (even though I am) At least when I am pregnant enough to notice people might mistake my chubbyness for all pregnancy gain.

    EDIT

    LOL  I thought I was the only one dealing with the graceless rolls!  I am happy to report my 'rolls' are starting to merge into one single bump also!  So many of the maternity clothes that are out now days are tight fitting.  This is not attractive when I was still sporting my rolls....but with a single bump I can pull them off  :)

    I love the idea of PG>35 bump pic threads. We should do that! My BMB does Hump Day Bump Day and posts a thread every Wednesday where people post bump pics. I'll post a thread next Wednesday and see if anyone is game. (I'll play!)

    My bump definately popped into shape about a two weeks ago and I swear grows by the day. It's fun to have it all in one spot now, the down side is, bending down and getting my nylons and boots on has gotten significantly more difficult!! I'd love to see everyone's bumps, they come in such diff shapes and sizes lol..

    I never had two rolls.  My bump has filled out evenly from top to bottom, and is pretty firm.  I definitely look pregnant.  Didn't know you could start out with rolls!  :)

     I gained 70 pounds in one year with my fibro. And then haven't been able to lose more than 15 pounds of it at any time and it never lasts. So I started out with rolls pre-pregnancy. I've actually lost some weight because baby is now taking my calories!

    I was already overweight before becoming pregnant, nursing school is kicking my butt, so now I already look like I did at the end of my last pregnancy.  I swear it is crazy my belly is sticking out so far and hard.  I guess all of my organs and fat are pushed up high now, which is making my whole belly stick out and look pregnant.  Last time, I just looked chubby for most of my pregnancy, so people didn't believe that I was pregnant until the last two months.

    Nursing school is the WORST for fitness/health. It's too stressful-- the cortisol levels in your blood spike like crazy... I gained back my 15 pounds and added another 5 my last year of nursing school alone!

    Yikes, the same here, except I still have a year left.  How are you doing working as a nurse now and being pregnant?

    It is amazing to see the changes, especially at the end when you can seriously see it grow bigger by the day. Don't forget to take a few pictures now and then.

    Same here!  At almost 20 weeks I'm finally starting to look a little pregnant, instead of like I've just been eating too many candy bars.  This one popped out a little sooner than my first one did though.  I've already had people ask if I'm expecting (a clear sign one looks pregnant and not just fat lol), whereas no one asked me with DD until I was at least 28 weeks.

    I can't wait for my rolls to become one!!!!!  This is my third pregnancy and I am definitely bigger than I was with the other two.......I am also a victim of the nursing school weight gain!!!!  There's just no time to think about anything but school, I graduated a year and a half ago and I was always struggling with trying to take some off......
