I can't picture a square butt on a lady, unless you don't have hips. My brain is giving me a slide show of lovely man butts. (tmi? never!) You have my deep sympathies though. Every once in a while I'll see women whose butts are the oddest shape, like half of a right-side-up heart instead of the more usual upside down heart, presumably from having a desk job for way too long. I live in fear that will happen to me. For now it just seems to poke out even more, but that might just be the strange late-pregnancy posture.
My dh told me weeks ago that I was getting a mom butt. Thanks babe.... I'm hoping when I get back into working out it will get better. :-/
Oh hell no!!
@sisterjanet I am a slim hipped woman and my butt is flat. It takes lots of exercise to make it not so. i gained weight in my upper back hip area so it like makes my butt look smaller in comparison. so horrible.
@tjkdlhb these pants are doing me no favors, that's for sure
@neems1982@JessElam i am set up for Pilates after the doctor gives the OK. hoping it's good for the booty.
Squats will be your BFF once baby is here and your given the ok to workout again!! I had mom bum after dd. Squats did the trick. I'm in need of squats again!
I, too, have Mom Butt. I was hoping for a sweet Nicki Minaj-type pregnant butt and got a flat square instead. At this point I'd just be happy to go back to my regular pre-baby butt. Hoping yoga and running help post-baby.
Squats, lunges, deadlifts....all work the butt and you can either use body weight or get one of those slim weighted bars or use dumbbells starting out if you don't go to a gym or want to. I for one can't wait to hopefully have this spd resolves once she is out and get back to my heavy lifting! I refuse to give in to the mom butt!
Re: Let's talk about mom butt
Le sigh, wish I was one of the lucky ones whose butt got bigger in a good way.
