I seem to be "carrying" my baby in the back. My butt is getting bigger!?

Question

Just for fun what does this mean? Any old wives tales? Anyone else carrying this way too? Ive got wider hips too but my butt is growing more than my belly!

Answer 1

Too funny! I have always heard that women carry "wider" when pregnant with a boy, but I barely did with my son and only in my stomach. I have got quite a booty myself, but it is always large and round- pregnancy doesn't affect it much. Except when I look at my side profile in the mirror, I feel like I am looking in a fun house mirror because my tummy sticks out in the front barely more than my bum sticks out in the back. I need that shirt that says "Does this baby make my butt look big?".

Additional comment: Ha, that is a good one! I also like the one at 2chix.com that says "Bump, not plump".

Hi, be assured that you are not the only one!

When I was 4 months along I did not show anything in front, only my butt and my hips... Everyone thought I was getting really fat!

I am now 32 weeks, and at last I have a belly to show for it, but not as much as most other woman. I am getting wider by the moment, so yes, I am carrying that way too :)

I am having a boy, but I dont know if big butts is a way to know the s*x of the baby...

Good luck!

Well I don't know how far along you are yet , if you already know what you are having but usually if you carry your baby around the butt area means that you are having a boy!Congratulations by the way.

It's your hips spreading to prepare for child birth. Welcome to pregnancy!!
