Only advantage to me growing more in my midsection is finally people see me as pregnant and not just fat. Like I am ALL torso normally. I am still at below my pre-pregnancy weight too so the effect is very pronounced.
I had more to say but I forgot it mostly. OH yeah - Being fat is inconvenient BUT it comes on very gradually so the handicap isn't as apparent as with pregnancy. I've never had the flexibility issues with a fat belly - the pregnant belly IS much harder and intransigent and sensitive. And it protests too nowadays!
Did you have more downy hair starting to grow on your belly? I am getting very weird body hair things going on. It's mostly white so not unsightly except on that line from my belly button down. Sigh. Why??? It's not like that's a useful thing!
