    Belly question?

    Does your belly usually start from very low down or from the stomach? I have seen a few belly shots around 8-10 weeks on this website and others and 1 I have seen looks like its been stuck out but it hasn't started from really down low, more around the belly button.

    What is the norm, if there is one?

    I don't know if there's such a thing as normal, but mine started very low down and then all of a sudden just under my boobs poked out one day - probably around 15 weeks or so?

    I think it might depend on your body shape and if you have had previous children, for me with DD it started low down and worked its way up but this time round, I have popped from above my belly button I think due to my belly still being flubbery from DD lol

    Mine started off low, and it is still low at 26 wks.

    I also think it would depend on your body shape, if you have had a baby before, or possibly where the placenta is located?

    Yeah I don't think there is a normal preg belly. Especially when legs and arms start to poke out then it's very abstract.
