The line on your stomach was always there You know that weird-looking dark line that some pregnant women get down the middle of their belly? Turns out that line has always been there on women, pregnant or not. The only difference is that when you become pregnant your hormones cause a pigment change so the line shows up more than before. Those damn hormones are always messing with us!
Waddling is totally normal (though a little embarrassing). Movies always portray pregnant women waddling around town. It’s silly and seems fake, and yet, in reality it happens, especially towards the end of your pregnancy. This is totally normal, and it happens because your joints become more relaxed as your body prepares for birth. Relaxed joints mean that the extra weight you are carrying around is actually harder to support, hence the duck walk you’ve been rocking the past few weeks.
