Mom butt is real

Prior to pregnancy, I've always had a really nice butt, but I just noticed today that it's gotten really flat during pregnancy. I don't know if it's some kind of optical illusion since my tummy is sticking out so far, but I hope it comes back after delivery. Anyone else with "mom butt" or am I alone on this one?

Re: Mom butt is real

  • I think it's a combo of the extra weight and less exercise, but also an illusion from the big belly and the way one's posture shifts to accommodate the belly.

  • I actually just realized this tonight!!! Super depressing!
  • Haven't craned around to look back there recently, now I'm scared too :)
  • I noticed this yesterday, but thought I was imagining things!  Hopefully it goes away!

  • My mom butt is wider and bigger overall. I had somewhat of a flat butt before but now I think it's actually more plump . I still try to navigate around tables as if I have no butt or stomach and managed to knock wine glasses etc over .. Sigh
  • My butt is as round as ever, however my large and perky boobs are now large and droopy pancakes. So I understand the feeling! :(
  • I used to have the cutest butt from doing squats and all kinds of butt exercises and now I'm not allowed to do any of that because I have partial placenta previa (not to mention the back pain it causes) and my butt has gotten flat and gross looking...in my opinion at least!!
  • My butt wasn't so bad before, but all this food I've been eating has been keeping it nice and round. Boobs are small and still hanging in there (ha ha ha) as well. My legs are fattening up unattractively though, so that's my battle.

  • This was the thing I didnt like about my pregnant body last time around and it's rearing it's ugly head again! Instead of a flat butt though, mine gets wide and round and sticks out further. I guess it is in part from the way my pelvis shifts to accommodate the increasing weight as well as my hips expanding in preparation for delivery. I'm definitely not one of those women that doesn't look pregnant from behind!
  • I had a lumpy butt before and it gotten huge and lumpier.. I feel like I have a bump sprouting from both sides...
  • Just take a look at the HDBD thread (at my picture specifically). Farewell former ass. 
  • As a large bottomed lady, I am so excited for flat ass. It just appears that way, but it won't stay for long and i will enjoy looking smaller for now.

    I've only gained 3 lbs and still working out/lifting similar to prepregnancy but I get your point about posture.

    I've eaten plenty of chocolate over the years in order to achieve 'quality cellulite' and my butt is plumper (larger). Not quite KK size yet but still a long way till January!


    HA! The term quality cellulite made me laugh out loud. We won't even go there with my butt.
