Questions for those having boys!

[krushing]

For us mommies to boys...please share how far along you are, how you are carrying and what's going on with your rear side.

I'm 32w3d today and I am stuck straight out in the front, I use my belly to prop a plate on when I'm in the living room eating and watching tv.  But, I promise my bootie is like a WIDE LOAD!  My hips have spread so much it seems like.  No one else can notice it, but I do.  So, I don't know if it's in my head or if it's real.  Is this a boy thing or is this normal for all pregnancies?

Well, apparently what I see and what others see is not the same thing.  I think I'm huge, but everyone I talk to says I don't even look pregnant unless I face them, because I am all belly.  I know it has to start dropping because I've got a lot of pressure down below and my pubic bone hurts when I walk...and as I type Reece feels like he is digging farther and farther down, which doesn't feel so well.  But, I know he is like me and moving around trying to get comfortable.

I am carrying a boy also.  I am 34w 4d and I think he's dropped a little bit.  Everyone says I'm "all belly."  My butt got a little bigger, but really not noticeably.  My belly has never really been high enough to prop my food on or anything, but now that he's dropped a little, my belly is at a downward slope angle, so it certainly wouldn't hold my plate.

I am having my 2nd boy and am 30 weeks 5days and look huge. I've gained 12lbs and it's right in front, I asked my husband the other night if I looked pregnant from behind and he said surprisingly, no. When this little boy pushes up right in front, man it hurts. I can't believe it's almost time for our little men to be here.

That is something we can help each other with in the May Baby 09 Maternal Forum

I think its really not related to whaether your carrying a boy or a girl, I think it just depends on your body, I'm carrying a baby girl but my behind has grown sooooooo much, and its not just me, my 5 year old girl asked me the other day and said since the baby is in your tummy why is your bootie growing too?  I didn't now what to say?!!
I joke about it somtimes and tell my friends that since I got pregnant via IVF and they returned 3 embryos back and only one got implanted, I say that I think the other 2 were implanted in my two hips (lol)
my belly is I think average not too big nor too small. but it is stuck out front too.
anywho I guess we'll just have to tolerate the way we look the comming few weeks, then join a losing wieght forum after we give birth...

I'm 33w1d today.  I'm also stuck straight out in front and I'm all belly.  I have only gained about 10-12 lbs and it's just where the baby is.  As far as my rear side, my tailbone hurts a lot and also my pubic bone hurts when I make certain movements.  He has also recently started trying to claw his way out through my right side and my ribs!  OMG it hurts so bad that I have to stop, hold my breath for a sec, and let it pass.
