Pregnancy Butt

[Isaac'sMa]

Well, it's official...my butt is expanding! None of my underwear fits anymore and as much as I don't want to, I think I might have to buy Maternity Underwear. All my regular underwear is creeping crack-ward from the sides, like the cheeks are getting bigger! The rise is perfectly fine if that makes sense, but the sides are just not wide enough to cover my big butt. What an embarassing problem to have.
UGh! It's a conspiracy, I swear! I feel like there's a drone in my head..."must spend more money at Motherhood maternity even though the baby could be here in a month." (yeah, that last bit is another scary realization I had the other day too. One month is NOT enough time!)

Um.. yeah, I am with you. But I DESPISE the motherhood undies. I got (I think) the high-cut briefs and they keep going up my butt. I dug out some of my older undies from last time and they used to fit great but now THEY are going up by butt too. : My thighs are growing too. aargh!

I always just buy big huge granny sized panties from Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. Though I don't get so big in the tummy, you might need the bikini cut or something, but in a bigger size. They're also comfy postprtum. But watch out! If you're like me you tend to keep buying grannies afterwards

I carry just as much pregnancy weight in my butt as my belly. In fact, that is what started rounding out first. DD and DH tease me that I have one baby in my belly and one in each butt-cheek.

I just bought new underwear on sat. I had to get them 2 sizes larger than I normally wear when not pregnant. : I got tired of them crawling up my butt. My butt grew just as fast as my belly last time I was pregnant, too. Thankfully, it shinks back down. But it gets all floppy looking.

I distinctly remember commenting to a friend of mine about 2 months ago that maternity undies were the best thing ever invented because they NEVER went up my butt. I don't know why they suddenly are. : I am a big fan of granny panties anyways (though DH is not a fan of my being a fan!)

I still fit in my panties though I definitely have spread out. (VS Pink bikinis=best panties ever) But I have cellulite and it has sagged. My butt looks old

After Jack I thought I would just keep my grannies for when I had my period, but soon my good undies were being shoved to the back and I was wearing grannies 24/7. They're super comfy.

Just before pregnancy I bought some nice undies again, but only two pair fit now, so I am wearing grannies. Though this time the grannies are cutting into the tummy a little. I don't know if I can or want to get the next size up! Yuck. That would make me feel like a whale.

Yep, these (the 2 sizes bigger than normal ones) are the ones that are now officially too small.

Well, zi'm the same way since ds was born. I still buy bikini cut they're the all-cotton, boring ol' undies. Before ds I used to have lots of cute undies and thongs and lacy things, but I just don't have the energy for that kind of frivolity anymore. Maybe one day...well, I can dream about it anyway, right?! RIGHT?!

Maybe I should just go back to thongs. That would solve the problem wouldn't it? But seriously, (TMI warning) I am way too sweaty this pg to do that.

I still wear thongs, but its not sexy anymore

What's so wonderful is that your butt gets this nice extra curviness and then as soon as baby is gone it deflates :
