Hmm...I haven't a clue Lucy! When's your next OB appt? I'd ask your OB at that time. Maybe the fact that you are DOWN 7 pounds makes it more likely that your uterus would be a little more visible?
If it makes you feel better, I'm completely ashamed of my mid-section right now. I swear that there's NO reason for me to be as fat as I am right now. I look back at my first pregnancy photos and see that I'm thicker now in the waist then I was at 15 weeks pregnant last time around.
went to the department store to try to find some pants that don't make me miserable, and was astounded at how pregnant I already look...but probably shouldn't. Sigh....
mental note to self: less cheeseburgers.
