 Okay not sure if its just me or not...I have always had two rolls ever since I was big and now of course I still have two rolls. Now since I have been pregnant...I find this very very odd. When u belly starts to grow being pregnant..should it start poppin out like bottom roll?? I have noticed that my top roll is bulging out more and getting harder but my bottom roll more most of my belly hangs..is not hard or anything..just still hangs there. Strange thing is thats where the baby is when the Ob found my the heartbeat which was below my belly button. Why is my top roll bulging out more than my bottom roll Im confused. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm 27 weeks and the bottom never filled out, it just hangs there useless, the top is beautiful and round, kinda weird looking I know.

I am 27 weeks and still have the two rolls.  To a stranger I do not look pregnant.  : (   When the baby moved in the fat seemed to go upwards and the top roll looked bigger.  Now that the baby is also moving up the top roll is still bigger because it is baby plus fat.  If I want to see the "baby bump" I just pull up the lovely skin and there it is.  I am dreaming of having a nice D baby belly, but not sure it is in the cards for me.

A lot of times the growing uterus and baby will cause your organs to shift up.  This shift will cause the bigger top...once the baby gets big enough it will all round out more evenly.  If you have a good size panni your bottom roll may always be smaller.

Ahhhh, I am glad I am not the only one.  I am 14 weeks and the top part of my stomach is huge and hard and then there is the nasty flabby part...

 Yeah I am just 14 weeks today!!! And that does make since that your organs will be pushed up I did not think of that!!! Well my panni I think is not so bad to me. I was just wondering why my top roll seems to be bigger than the bottom LOL..I am hoping someday I will have a nice baby bump cause I have a photo shoot scheduled towards the end of my pregnancy at 32 weeks I will be when Im getting my maternity pics done. So I am praying I will have a nice size bump then. I mean I do not want to be super huge but at least be able to tell I am pregnant for them pics.

It really is assuring that I am not alone in this as well! I had someone come up and rub the belly already. only thing is I was like "wow, you are rubbing the fat, the baby is still low". Then she sat and argued with me on it, and said, um NO, that is baby! HAHA
But what do I know, lol

All the young girls (teenagers) in my Kung Fu class rub my tummy too...and I'm only 9 weeks-but since it's baby #2 I've already resorted to maternity clothes.
But even remembering the first one. All my bump was on top and the bottom half of tummy was odd looking. It wasn't until the end that it all looked right.
So I'm hoping this time will be more "bumpier" since I'm not big like I was back then...even with skin, that just means less stretch marks!  ha ha ha.

I am 29 weeks 3 days pregnant and my top belly is big. Everyone is like you are carrying her high. I have a picture of my profile if you want to look at what I am talking about. I don't think I am going to have a cute belly. I wish I did. I hope in the next couple of weeks it start to look different because I want to take pregnancy pictures. I dont know why my top is bulging out more than my bottom roll. I was wondering the same thing.
