For Moms with more than one child

So this might be a wierd question but I'm on pregnancy number three and I swear my stretched skin from the first pregnancies is just sitting on top of my new belly.  Does anyone else have the same thing going on with that?  I thought it would stretch out again but it doesnt really.  I don't know maybe it's just me but my belly definitely isn't round like before....kind of odd shaped?

I'm 28 wks and this pregnancy is completely different.  And Joy....that's exactly what I'm talking about, the jiggly skin.  It is gross!  But I'm not way overweight or anything thats why its so weird to me.

I know what you're talking about... it's kind of hard to describe! With my second DD I still had a little "pooch" leftover from my 1st pregnancy. So when I started showing, it was like a layer of jiggly skin (that sounds so gross) with a nice round uterus under it. Don't worry! Eventually you'll be so large that your uterus and baby will fill it out.

I remember one of my SILs came up to rub my belly and she stepped back and said, "It's not as hard as I thought it'd be!" I had to laugh. I told her it was "leftovers" from DD#1.

yea that happened in my 2nd pregnancy. i got very big with my 1st son and then when i was pregnant with my 2nd son...my belly seemed to be a blob more so than a baby bump. towards the end though it all came together and stretched. how far along are you?
