So although not a full belly shot, I noticed a damn stretch mark between the top and bottom holes on my belly button piercing. Also when I laugh my belly button pushes out and looks like a butt hole.
Was in the middle of getting ready to comment on how unsafe this thread is for me to be in anymore when my secretary walks in behind me and sees livkight's picture.....that was the most uncomfortable eye contact I've ever made in my life.
Okay, I have talked with a couple of people, and no one says their belly has done this. The top picture is when I try to sit myself up using my abs, and it freaks out DH haha. I told him it's just where my abs have separated and they are still somewhat functional. Am I right? Haha.
Bottom picture is how I normally look when plopped on the couch!
That is exactly what my belly looks like when I try to sit up, from laying down.
Edit: I couldn't participate today because I'm wearing a tent dress and would totally get busted in the work bathroom trying to take a bellay selfie.
Mine does the same thing, and my doc says it's good because it lessens the chance of back labor. I think she's just trying to make me feel better about the alien that is obviously trying to break out of my stomach.
I don't have one @ichabody!! I stayed on high risk until I hit 20 weeks and knew baby was going to make it and I missed out on labor buddies; let's do this!!
Yay, awesome! So how the F does labor buddies work? lol

You pretend like your labor buddy is going to update the board when you go into labor and then just do it yourself because you realize we live in the 21st century and have phones or laptops that leave us constantly connected so you can update yourself.
I keeeeed. Not really. It's at least so you ca have someone to bond and PM with in the meantime.
34 wks 4 days:-) it's crazy how I can see her rolling around in there & body parts stick out!!! Dh is kinda weirded out by it but I'm loving watching her move:-D
I asked my dr about this because my stomach cones as well. It is a separation of your abs, the medical term for it is diastasis recti. I think something like 30% of pregnant women get it. The most important thing to know is that you should not do sit-ups or anything else that engages your abs during pregnancy or after. Sit-ups will make your separation pull farther apart, so avoid anything that makes your stomach cone! Instead you want to work the deeper stomach muscles, pull your stomach in and tighten the muscles, you will feel tight muscles on your sides, building these muscles will help your abs!

Told you it was a cavernous black hole.
