Lol anybody else?!

Question

I'm 36 weeks and when I try to sit up from laying on my back my tummy kinda turns into a cone... I couldn't get a good picture but does anyone know what I'm talking about and does this happen to you?! 😂

Answer

The first time my husband noticed is when he was sitting in front of me at dr and she was checking heartbeat then pulled me up and my shirt was still up. He made the weirdest face, i asked him what it was for and he said "your belly just did something really weird!!!" I do find it a little odd as well but it's hard enough to get up anymore I just am happy to be able to do that haha!

Answer

Yes! My SO is freaked out about it and says I'm squishing our son lol!!!! So glad I'm not the only one

Answer

Probably it's that your stomach muscles have separated. Try not to use them more than you have too. I have had this since about 20 weeks, I call it dinosaur stomach lol.

Answer

Mine does that because the babe's spine is forward right there. So my stomach muscles can move the rest of the squish but not that.

Answer

Yessss its so weird!!! lol I try not to look lol

Answer

Totally normal, that's your body preparing for labor, it's called Braxton Hicks you're actually going to see your belly like getting tight and turning into weird shapes. I ask my OBGYN and he told me about it. That's kind of uncomfortable, but you're going to get it pretty much often now that you're close to your due day.

Answer

I think it's pretty normal. My belly did it with my first pregnancy & with this one as well.

Answer

Ask your doctor about diastasis recti. It's split of your ab muscles your tissue is just stretched. I have it from my first born and it didn't go back to normal like most do. I am trying a belly bandit to help get back to where I was. Mine unfortunately can only be corrected by a tummy tuck and that's plastic surgery so not covered by insurance.

Answer
