I just wanted to know if your belly ever rounds out? Also did anyone use a bella band at all? I and a plus sized preggo and have not been exercising lately, ob orders, and I noticed my tummy is super flabby. I wanted to know if I will eventually look preggo or just "fluffier"? Also I have a thyroid problem and my ob said that it is possible that my body will completly change after the baby because it will cause my thryoid to act correctly. Anyone heard of this?
Thanks

I was 220 lbs, and I am 5 foot 2, when I got pregnant and I did start to look pregnant around 4.5 months but It's been 5 months since I've been pregnant and I still look pregnant so I don't know if I am normal. I don't know if I have a thryoid problem, never had that checked.

I'm plus sized and have found that I start to look pg at about 6 months, it depends on where you carry your weight I suppose, Iknow nothing about thyroid Sorrry!

I am not plus sized but I am almost there. I wear a size 14 and I def look pregnant. I started looking pregnant around 5 months.

I'm plus sized and I looked pregnant both times around 5 months. I had a tight belly, not flabby anymore, around 6.5 months. Sadly, I still am flabby now. (Worse this time.) I'm avoiding doing anything until we decide if we're having a third one. (I want one, but DH thinks he's happy with two.)

Size 14-16/XL-1X here, and I most definitely look pg lol. For a while I just looked like I was getting a pudgy belly, but at about 4mos or so you could definitely tell. You'll get there!

i wasnt real big when i got pregnant, was in a size 14/16 but i had that pooch. i started looking pregnant at about 6mons but still had that pooch so it wasnt a perfect preggy belly.

I'm not a small girl so I feel really stupid being 8 months pregnant and people saying "Oh you don't look pregnant" Okay so do I look super fat then?! I didn't "show" with this one until about 6 months however I have remained VERY small too. Like, I don't look like I'm about to have this baby at all, I know that, but I think it's kind of obvious that I'm having a baby... I dunno..... Maybe it's just the way I carry. And I've only gained about 22 pounds with this baby too, I've tried to keep it under control so it will ilterally ALL come off at once (last time I dropped 25 pounds within 2 weeks)..... I only really looked pregnant with my first, but I was also about 40 pounds lighter then too.... I dunno....

My ob told me to only gain 15-20 lbs. I can start exercising at 14 weeks. I had some spotting issues so I am on no exercise till then. I am hoping to eventually look preggo. I know I won't have one of those super cute bumps, but hopefully a nice one! Has anyone used a bella band? I've heard a lot of plus-sized preggos use them to round out the bump, but I've also heard they are great on back pain and give a lot of support. Anyone use one? I am having a lot of back pain and was debating on buying one. Thanks for all your comments!
