B belly

Hi! I'm 18+3 and my bump is starting to come in but it's like a B belly so my belly button is dipped in but above and below is larger, I did have a little apron stomach to start with but not as big as it is now and Its making me super insecure! My"friend" who's 19weeks has a super round little bump and keeps saying "oh I'm sure it'll be a real bump soon" 🤨 I'm getting super weird and dad about it as I feel I just look fat not pregnant...

Hi lovely. If it’s any consolation, mines the same! I’m 20 weeks today and more often than not I feel like I just look humongous and not pregnant at all. Everyone has different bodies during pregnancy, so try not to listen to what other people are saying - as hard as it may be. The way I look at it (to make me feel better) I can still bend down and put my shoes on without a hard bump in the way šŸ˜‚ x

I’ve been plus size since young. I’ve always
had a b belly but it’s emphasised with the bump coming through. I’ve got an anterior placenta and my belly fat is being pushed down towards my crutch. It will be more round as baby grows so I hope you can learn to love your bump xx

I have a B belly too but on occasion it appear to be a bump shape before returning back to B belly. 16+2.

I have a b belly too. 16 +6
I’m a bit insecure about it. I lost 4 stone before I got pregnant and feel like I just look like I’m gaining the weight back. Hoping it’ll pop eventually, just be a bit later. If all else fails I’ve seen online you can buy maternity shapewearbthat makes your bump look more rounded šŸ˜‚

I'm a bigger gal and have the same. I know there's a bump growing there, but it's difficult being bigger as people just think you look fat(fatter)
You're growing a human and that's a tough job without negative Nellie's making you feel crappy xx

I am 24 weeks myself, and also have a B belly thus far… I am super sad and insecure about it as well, because I’ve always wanted a ā€œpicture perfectā€œ baby bump to show off, and even though my belly is always like this. I was hoping that the one thing that would change that for a little while was being pregnant. I am pretty sad about it myself, but I also know that I am creating life inside me and that in itself is a beautiful thing, so I’m trying to be positive. Hang in there Mama.ā¤ļø

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🄸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons šŸ’‰šŸ’‰šŸ’‰

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout ā€œi’ve never been healthierā€ girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
