    Question My belly isn't centred?!? Anyone else had this? 2nd trimester..

    Hi girls,

    The title sounds awful, lol didn't know how else to say it......

    The last few days i've noticed when i look down at my belly (and it's quite often lately as it's growing!) that it's not quite CENTRED? My belly button actually looks more to the left. I shrugged this off and forgot about it until this arvo when i pointed it out to DH. He found the centre of my chest and ran a line down with his finger to where my belly is and said "yeah, it's not quite centred"...... so it's not just in my head!

    DH thinks it could be a muscle thing? Or is it where the baby is lying perhaps? Squishing on different organs and moving things??? Perhaps one side the muscles are pulled tighter on one side perhaps? I haven't had any pain on any particular side so not sure why this is like this?

    Is it just probably because all my organs and everything are being moved around?? That's what i'd say it is. It's my first pregnancy so its all new to me

    Has anyone experienced this? To anyone walking by or talking to me looking at my belly you probably wouldn't even notice! However I notice it......

    Should I ring midwife to explain? I might sound like a fruit loop

    Yep your belly will change over the pregnancy ( OMG 18 weeks already!,, are you finding out the sex?)
    Then once baby is born, you will have loopsided boobs.

    FJ Lopsided boobs... haha mine are already a bit lopsided too Hollye! But i suppose none of us are really 'even' anyway we aren't really symmetrical to start with (is that the word?)
    Wow this baby must be bigger already than i imagined!!! how exciting! i just didnt realise this small baby could make my belly button move to the left so much!! already!
