To not suck in the jelly belly now I'm in my second trimester?

Liberation!

Although people are praising my magnificent store of fat rather than the very small bump lower down and underneath it.

Is it wrong to do an evil scientist laugh in my head when this happens?

Haha, go for it, that was one of the best things about being pregnant! Although everyone did comment on how much my bump seemed to have sprouted 'overnight', little did they know I'd just stopped holding in the belly.

I'm bloody loving it :)

Mine just sprung over the top of my pants after a reasonable amount of time.

I found being able to let it all hang out an unexpected bonus of pregnancy. It had never occurred to me before just how much time I spent sucking in my (not really that large) tummy until my bump started to emerge and I no longer had to bother. Twas bliss.

Hahaha! I so relate to this!

I spent the first half of my pregnancy desperately trying to hold it all in (made me realise I've actually been a lifetime 'tummy sucker-in' without even realising it).

And then I suddenly switched to trying to push it out as far as possible so that people would know it was pregnancy and not just think I had gained tons of weight!

You can't win. Grin

I am 10 weeks and have started doing this, in fact I did 2 weeks ago and could have passed for around 5 months pg...it was after a flight and I was a tad bloated. Dh wondered where my belly had gone the next day Blush.
