B belly....be gone!

I have lamented in the past weeks about my B shaped belly. You skinnies are probably scratching your head right now wondering just what a "B belly" is. Well, let me enlighten you. Chubby women often put weight on in the middle. This weight will either be rounded and resemble the letter D or have a large indent in the middle making it look like the letter B. (this sounds like an episode of Sesame Street...brought to you by the letter B).

When you are not pregnant a B belly is usually preferred as it can be hidden better by clothing. But when you are pregnant you wish for a D shaped belly. A pregnant belly. But alas I have a B belly and I still do not look pregnant. I have put on an inch around my waist and the B is slowly sliding towards a D, but it is not there yet. So I either wear maternity clothes that make me look pudgier or ones that make me look about 8 months along. Not that I mind looking more pregnant but by doing so I open myself up to the "how far along are you?' question and when I answer "5 months" I will inevitably get the "are you having twins?!?!" question. This will cause me to be rude and I try never to be rude. Okay, I try rarely to be rude. Being rude is sometimes fun but it is not nice so I try to avoid it.

So hopefully my B belly will round out very, very soon!!!!

  6. LOL, I had a little B belly going on, mostly down under from my first pregnancy. It is weird, but I thought the whole thing would "smooth" out but it didn't quite. I am 37 weeks and I can still pinch some fat above my pubic bone, LOL.

  7. I had a B for a lot of my pregnancy - I even worried that somehow my baby wasn't getting enough nutrients because my belly wasn't big enough. Let me tell you from experience - that D will come in like a lion!

  8. Here's to a D belly coming your way!

    I just wanted to introduce myself as I prepare for my FET (adopted embryos). You are hilarious, I admire and respect that in a woman! I too am obsessed with which diaper bag I will choose. I can't wait to pick it out!!! You're a girl after my own heart! CONGRATULATIONS!

  9. Awww...I have never heard of it described that way, but it is PERFECT! I also could not wait to go from a B to a D (not in boobs though cuz that was already a D). :-)

    (Please excuse my commenting on every post but you are spot on with everything you say!)
