Candi's Suck It In vs Let It Out UPDATED weeks 30,32,33 in last post

Mom at Home · #1 September 22nd, 2009, 04:34 PM

Thought this might be sort of fun (in a disturbing way

) I've held on to 25lbs of pregnancy weight since my daughter was born 5 1/2 yrs ago, so I was a queen of "sucking it in" and on any given day could let out my belly and look several months pregnant. Now that I really am... well its that much worse as sucking it in isn't happening as well these days. So here are my 11 1/2 wk belly photos... taken 5 seconds apart... one sucking it in and one letting it all hang out, I have a feeling I can only claim the bump in the sucking it in photo as actual baby eh? Anyone else want to share?

LOL I know right!?!?! I think I could model maternity wear from first trimester to full term right now depending how much I let out. I'm going to pray to the gods of belly fat that the baby just keeps sucking up the extra fat and by the time I deliver the whole belly is all baby... well one can wish

LOL! I love it! I'll have to take some. My belly gets huge when I let it out.

Glad you posted that- that's about how my belly looks when I let it all hang out right now- but your sucking in picture is WAY more than I can suck in now. A lot has changed in 2 weeks.

I can do that, too - I'll have to try the suck in vs. let it out shots soon. And I don't even think it's a weight thing, because I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, I think it's just your muscles are looser and more willing to give, KWIM? Or am I fooling myself?

Im in agreement with u Jen! Since im no working out anymore, my ab muscles have definitely lost definition

If I suck in, I look fat. If I let hang loose I look about 4-5 months. If I poke it out I look ready to pop. Agh!

Wow what a difference! My suck it in vs. let it out tummy is different but not by that much.

kinda of a neat thread.

That's a big difference.

I'll take new photos tomorrow (14wks) I haven't gained anything but feel bigger so we'll see how it looks.

Mom at Home · #15 October 11th, 2009, 10:23 AM

14wk photos. Not a huge difference, if any really.... the let it out looks a bit bigger but I think its because I cropped it closer. (please ignore my dirty mirror, DD has been playing in the sink lately)

I didn't see that you updated this thread! You look awesome!

Mom at Home · #17 October 24th, 2009, 07:43 AM

Here are my 16wk... getting harder and harder to suck it in

#18 October 24th, 2009, 08:57 AM

very nice!

JBmom88 · #19 October 24th, 2009, 10:13 AM

Aw you look great! I'd let it all out!

CuteName · #20 October 24th, 2009, 10:20 AM

That's hilarious! That's what I've been dealing with too..only my sucking in tummy isnt' as cute as yours. I'm sure if we sucked in all day we'd pass out..lol. Very cute.
