so since I had lost so much weight, with all the tummy extra skin it is taking a while for my belly to "pop" seems like my belly button is always going to hide between the two muffin tops at the bottom :(    will it always hide??? lol I lined a sock behind my button of my jeans just to fill in the "valley"..I feel like a teenager that stuffs their bra!!! btw i'm 18.5 weeks with my 2nd child, due 11/27/11

Try wearing one of the bella bands (from Target) or a supportive tank (like the ones from NY&Co) under your clothes.  These really helped to round things out for me.  They turn all that loose skin and jiggle into a nice round baby bump!

I did not "POP" till I was about 22 weeks, but I really looked pregnant. I like said above did wear my maternity spanx (but the motherhood maternity brand) and they helped tremendously with the extra skin, and making me more comfy!

It takes some creativity but you can have a nice bump.  I used those belly bands from target and the really high waisted light control panties from Barely There.  I'm talking about the ones that litterally go up to your bra line.  I'd wear the panties and then a maternity tank over the top of them and it made a nice bump.  Not only did it look good, it was supportive of my belly so it was very comfy.  Here I was at 38 weeks...

Well if you've really got a lot of hanging skin, you probably won't have a nice naked bump but at least you can look pregnant in clothes.  I loved it...it was the first time in my life I just let it all hang out...lol.

 Also, just go out and get some babydoll style or empire waist shirts and dresses that you wouldn't have worn before because they made you LOOK pregnant!
