Anyone else sucking in?

I never realize how much I unconsciously suck in until I'm pregnant and don't "have" to anymore or no longer can. It's sad, really. I'm fairly petite naturally. I noticed this last time, too. Anyone else??

    I'm not small and I don't think I suck it in normally but I notice myself sucking it in more now. I think it's maybe because I really want to look pregnant and not just big.

    I keep my stomach muscles tensed/sucked in all the time, something that I am really beginning to understand right around now. I'll probably keep doing it until my stomach muscles give up, its just what I naturally do anymore.

    Hmmmm so maybe it's a good thing? I like the way you think. I had assumed that I was subconsciously trying to look thinner.

    I've been letting it out. Those that know me know I'm pregnant and those I don't (in public, etc) I don't really care about.

    Oh, I assume that's how I started doing it too don't get me wrong, but its just a natural for me to keep my stomach sucked in with the muscles tensed now, so much that I don't notice I really do it. Otherwise I've just got a big ole' chunk of flab hanging out. Keeping the stomach tensed while it fights against a growing uterus is totally an ab workout too, right? :D

    I've always done it too and figure it's just a good way to keep the muscles toned! I do it even when I'm pregnant. The day the muscles no longer hold it in is weird!

    Yup. Definitely! I still have to try and get myself to relax my belly. Such a habit.

    Proper posture tells you to stand with your core tensed.... So maybe we just all have fabulous posture?

    Haha yeah! That's it!

    I'm thin and this pregnancy has made me realize how often I keep my ab muscles tightened! I've never purposely done this because I haven't needed to, and have no clue why this happens. Maybe it's a balance thing? I have to keep reminding myself to relax so I can enjoy a fuller baby bump :)

    It's starting to be uncomfortable to suck in

    I wonder if its subconsciously a support thing. I popped a couple days ago and if I let all stomach muscles go, I get a stretching sensation at the bottom of the bump. If I firm my muscles up a bit, it feels fine!
