At 24 weeks, I am all belly - or 90+% belly, the rest boob. Either way, everything gained is front and torso. It doesn't seem like this can last through the whole pregnancy. I'm going to gain butt/legs/back too, right?

I had several friends who were all belly up to the very end (and I will just say right now I am JEALOUS of you being all belly!)
I have defeintely added some more meat to my thighs so far. that is the only place I have noticed besides the belly and my mondo boobs.

I really don't think you can control where you gain the weight. I started gaining in my hips and butt around 30 weeks. Before that I was all belly! My boobs did not grow much at all, maybe 1 cup size. My torso expanded, though and I went up two widths in my bras.
Thankfully when people see me, they tell me it looks like I gained just in my belly. I love them.

Only time will tell, but I think anything is possible in pregnancy!
I gained in my thighs/butt right away, and slowly my belly is catching up. People tell me I still look really small, but I know the truth (about the numbers and where my body is holding weight), but they don't need to know. I share it with you lovelies--cus you're my girls--and my DH, but otherwise, I just keep the rest to myself.

You might not gain in the butt/legs. I went from an A cup to a D cup, but still wear the same size underwear as I did prepregnancy, and only went from a 27 to a 28 waist in jeans (so basically no gain there). Am 2 days shy of 40 weeks now.

For me, I gained in my arms and thighs first then my belly caught up a little, then I gained in my booty and hips, then my belly caught up again. By 30 weeks my belly just grew and grew making the illusion that I'm all belly. It's so large that the rest of me sometimes looks small but that's really not the case.
You might make it through without gaining anywhere else! Between 30-40 weeks baby will gain a lot of weight so if you don't gain anywhere else before 30 weeks, I'd think you'd stay the same all over!

I saw a girl on the beach who had to be in her 9th month in a bikini. She was all belly. If you looked at her from behind you had no clue she was pregnant.

So far I'm belly too. And a little bit of love handles but I'm not growing the boobies yet apparently. Still waiting on that one, sad face.

I had a friend that gained only in her boobs and belly also. Like @artbee: mentioned, from behind, you had absolutely no idea she was preggo! I can only hope and dream that I'll only be belly and boobs in the future!

This is also my hope! So far, at 20 weeks, I'm mainly belly and boobs...but I still have a long ways to go

@MrsMccarthy: @jessiejo17: My biggest issue with it is that my flat bony butt gets sore if I sit in the wrong chair or for too long.
@mediagirl: I can feel my torso/ribs expanding.
