What is she doing?!

Question

So whenever I lay back on my fitness ball, this happens! What the heck?! LOL is it baby girl? Is it my anterior placenta? Doesn’t hurt or anything lolol just shocked and cracking up!

Answer

It almost looks like your stomach is "coning". If it's when you're in the ball or getting up it definitely could be! It's when there is stress on your abdominal wall. I could be wrong but read up on it! If the "coning" gets really bad it can increase chances of Diastasis Reci.

Answer

It’s the start of ab separation and is called “coning out”. It’s also why we aren’t supposed to do a lot of an workouts during pregnancy so that the muscles aren’t too separated and don’t go back together after birth

Answer

Anytime I’m getting up my stomach pitches due to the muscle

Answer

It’s most likely the uterus, 1st noticed it while in the shower when I was letting the hot water help my back pain & I was leaning forward . Kinda weird looking lol

Answer

This is my stomach when I lay in the tub😂

Answer

My abs still work/can feel them when flexed and my belly does this when arching my back. I would be surprised if my abs are already splitting. My belly is done this since before I showed when getting out of bed.

Answer

I’ve had that as long as I can remember, now that I’m pregnant it’s more noticeable though.

Answer

Omg I didnt know coning was a real thing this is my 3rd pregnancy and everytime I get up out of bed or lay back in the tub then go to set up my belly looks exactly like this I guess I will have to be more careful. My so always gives me his arm to pull up on so I'm using my arms instead of my abdomen but sometimes I tell him it's ok I've got it I guess u need to start using his arm more

Answer

Looked up “coning” and now I’m freaking out! I’ve honestly only done a lot of walking this whole pregnancy...aka...long walks with my dog around the neighborhood. Just got my fitness ball yesterday. Guess I’ll try something else to stretch my back? 🤷🏼‍♀️
