Belly question, and need reassurance

To any who know or have been pregnant before:  (this is a wierd question) Where does the preggo belly start in relationship to the pubic bone?  I have been wondering because I thought that I would be beach-balling right at the bone, but it is really more of a slope upward.  Not that it matters, I am just curious.  I know it is kind of a wierd question....

Second, I have these wierd mood high's and low's.  At the beginning of the week I was in such a wonderful mood, nothing could bring me down, just a wonderful mood.  Yesterday and today I just feel so sad. Dont get me wrong everything is fine and well, and I could not be happier to be pregnant, I just feel kind of down.  Does anyone else have these mood extremes?  If I wasnt pregnant I would think I was bipolar, but Ive never been like this before.

Anyway, With my new poor mood I am just finding myself worrying about the pregnancy. I know that everything is fine and that I am out of the woods, and I have no reason to worry. I just have these stories running through my head of things that I have read on this forum, and they are concerning me.  Anyway, if anyone would like to reassure me that everything is okay and odds are in my favor, even though I already know that, I would appreciate it.  Thanks!
(Yes I know I worry too much, but I have been doing much better!)

So far, I think I've got the little rounded belly look going on.  I've been really lazy about getting my belly picture slideshow going, but I slope down from under my breasts and round down to my pubic bone.  I've only been pregnant once before, but had a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks ...so I don't know if that's affected my shape this time around.

As for mood swings, I'm totally there with you!  Sometimes, hubby and I will be playing a video game on the computer together and I will get sooooo irritated with other online members.  And I'm usually the calm one when it comes to that!!  

I have noticed that when I'm in one of my sad moods, that I worry a lot more about the baby and the pregnancy than any other time.  It's like the sadness emphasizes all your negative and pessimistic feelings!  =(  Hopefully your sad moods don't last too long and that you find your happy place again!!

My belly slopes upward as well although after a large dinner it looks more round  :)

I actually struggle with some terrible anxiety attacks usually due to my bleeding episodes.  They usually last for a few days.  It's so difficult to enjoy being pregnant because of all the stress.

This is my fourth pregnancy, but I have given birth only once. I have noticed that I am showing alot sooner and that my belly is "sloping" upward as well. I have got a mini- watermelon look going on already. Of course, I posted about my bra meltdown. I can really tell I am showing now that my band size is 6 inches bigger than it was 4 months ago.
