It looks like LO is just pushing out right in the middle, giving me a very odd shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454409 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:28:06 +0000 MaisyMay 454409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: That is so cool. LO kept pushing out today when I was walking around doing errands. It made for an interesting day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454206 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:22:30 +0000 Rescuemom10 454206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple hours ago at work my best friend walked up to me. She saw my facial expression and asked whats wrong. I looked down at my belly. LO was REALLY moving, you could see the buldge where she was pushing with her hand....my best friend "high fived" her. LO just had her first high five. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454177 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:11:08 +0000 Mrsbells 454177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My entire belly was lopsided at one point of my pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454104 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:18:15 +0000 pl0508 454104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: omg i dropped a tums under my desk at work yesteday. its still there. I've GOT to get it ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454096 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:14:37 +0000 ladyfingers 454096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I particularly (and others as well) enjoy when I drop stuff (which is, like, always) and then insist on picking it up myself, even though "bending over" is more like "squatting and grunting." I'm waiting for the day I fall on my butt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454085 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:09:56 +0000 MaisyMay 454085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: It's only happened once, and I'm 38 weeks, so I didn't mind too much. My pride comes up on other issues though, so I get it!</p> <p>@Smurfette: You could try iron-on hem tape so that you don't have to actually cut your pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454076 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:06:06 +0000 Smurfette 454076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I keep flip flops at my desk so when I am just sitting put those on. Then I just put my regular shoes on when I get up. I think that I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a couple pairs of pants hemmed, so I can wear flats from here on out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454070 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:02:50 +0000 ladyfingers 454070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: lol yes but it made me feel so stupid and helpless that I just do it myself. I'm so full of pride it sucks.</p> <p>@Smurfette: Yeah all I've worn the entire time pretty much is flip flops. Thank God for a casual work dress code! Now, my feet are starting to get the flip flop indentations on them by the end of the day. Ahhhh... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454060 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:01:08 +0000 Smurfette 454060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Friday night, we had DH's work Christmas party. It was so crowded and not enough seats. We sat for maybe 20 mins to eat, then was standing for the other 3 hours. I wore wedges, maybe 2 1/2 inches but my feet felt like I had been in 4 in heels all night. I have never been so happy to sit in my car and drive home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454058 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:00:33 +0000 MaisyMay 454058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Do you have your SO help you? The other night my belly was hurting but my feet were cold. DH came into the bedroom and asked me what was bothering me. When I explained he put my socks on for me. That was pretty sweet of him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454054 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:58:51 +0000 ladyfingers 454054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I only ever wear sneakers for our 15-minute walk after dinner, so I just continue to struggle because I refuse to buy anything else at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454049 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:58:05 +0000 MaisyMay 454049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I have a pair of very light LA Gear black slip on sneakers that I bought at Marshall's for about $20 that I pretty much live in. They are sufficient for church if I'm wearing jeans or khakis, work, just out doing errands, etc. They have a full back so they won't fall off, and each show is incredibly light so my feet never feel heavy. Probably my best "investment" this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454039 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:54:34 +0000 ladyfingers 454039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I bought heels (in my "new shoe size") for my baby shower and wore them for approximately 5 minutes. No go! Went barefoot the rest of the time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-454036 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:53:28 +0000 ladyfingers 454036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: You know what's even better? Trying to put on sneakers -- or boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453956 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:25:07 +0000 MaisyMay 453956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: It's amazing how quickly we can realize something is a no-go! I was at an event 2 weeks ago, listening to a few of the women helping with clean-up as they complained about wearing their heels, and I was smugly comfy in my ballet flats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453948 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:23:04 +0000 pl0508 453948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I've been wearing low wedges to work and tried on some regular heels the other day! put them on, said "nope", and grabbed my wedges again. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453943 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:19:40 +0000 MaisyMay 453943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Comical and painful! The last time I tried to wear tights I put them on, stood up and told DH "This is so not happening!"</p> <p>ETA: They weren't maternity tights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453926 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:14:39 +0000 pl0508 453926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453919 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:11:32 +0000 dagret 453919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: those tights are super comfy. I'm going to wear them to work tomorrow i think. which makes the third time i wore them, worth the $18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453911 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:07:03 +0000 pl0508 453911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I bought some assetts maternity tights from motherhood! They were 18.00 but go ALL the way over the bump.. They look ridiculous! I've only worn them a couple of times but they are VERY comfortable. No way I could get into my pre-preg tights right now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453897 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:01:52 +0000 tororojo 453897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I wore non-pregnancy tights on Sunday and they fit! But I had to keep the waistband below my bump and it cut into my hips a little. I wear them so little that it seemed silly to buy maternity tights. (I live in TX where it's rarely cold, though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453888 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:59:31 +0000 pl0508 453888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bump always looks wonky! Its never perfectly round!<br /> Have you ever tried to put on panty hose/tights when pregnant? 100% comical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453781 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:13:41 +0000 tororojo 453781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly totally slopes to the right! I can't think of anything funny from today, but last night I attempted to lay on my almost 30 weeks along stomach and that was slightly comical... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crooked-belly-button-and-pregnancy-laughs#post-453755 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:02:26 +0000 MaisyMay 453755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking down at my belly today, I had to laugh. My belly button is randomly sideways. It totally looks to the right. I know it's because LO is firmly snuggled on my left side, but it still made me chuckle. Still an innie though.</p> <p>What about pregnancy has made you laugh today? </p>
