Im 14 weeks pregnant and confused about my belly? My belly is like a B. The top portion of my stomach is growing larger and harder but shouldnt it be the bottom part of my stomach under my belly button?? I'm wondering if this has to do with the weightloss or RNY?

I have never been pregnant before so please excuse my ignorance.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply.

Mine looks more like a "B" too. But I seem to be carrying my baby boy low. I think I just had so much fat/flab hanging around, that's how it shaped out. I hate it. I'd rather have had a nice round bump, but I don't. Not much I can do about it. As I get bigger, I keep thinking it will round out more, but it just gets to be a bigger "B"!!! LOL

Best wishes,
Kina

I was the same.. I think it was my muffin top getting pushed up by the baby. It seems to be rounding out a bit now, at 23 weeks.

I had that too. I'm 33 weeks now and it looks like a D now. It's extra skin below. It does go away :)

I was starting to wonder the same thing!! It seems like above my belly button is sticking out more and below is just sagging more- I hate it!!! Glad to know it's not uncommon tho and that I'm not the only one...I will admit I bought a pair of capri maternity pants and the stretchable waste folded in half kind of hides it and i feel a little better :)

At this point I feel like mine looks kind of like a sunny-side up egg. There's a hard round area kind of in the middle, then some extra bits of fat and skin that aren't as prominent around it. :P

Thank you all soo much for your replies. I know our body is different from someone who has not had drastic weight loss so this is the only place I can come to where others can relate.

I DO really appreciate ya'lls feedback!

I was happy to read your responses, I am 10 weeks with twins and that is exactly how I am shaped, thought that I was odd...  guess not.  Like the reassurance of others.

Yeah, if I don't wear my Motherhood pants I have a B belly. I too have lots of skin underneith my belly button. It looks funny but the right pants can hide it.
