Endo belly - not pregnant belly

[PurpleSynesthesia]

Just thought I'd share a pic of my belly this evening (how kind of me 😭).

My husband just got a promotion at his job, so we celebrated with Chinese takeaway... This is the end result. And I haven't even had any wine!

To give some background, I usually have a baggy-ish, size 10/12 belly (3 kids); but after dinner, it appears my body thinks I should be a solid 8 months pregnant again! 😳

... I don't eat things like this very often anymore!

Feel free to share your own bellies/ stories etc.

Lots of love to you all x

As long as you enjoyed the Chinese and not in pain, that’s the main thing. All need to enjoy things once in a while 😀. Trying to see a silver lining.

So, so true - at least I'm at home & not trying to such it in at lunchtime in a restaurant 😅

🤣 I feel your pain! Such a glamorous side effect isn’t it!

We had an Indian recently with some friends round, as soon as we’d finished eating my tummy swelled up to pregnancy size and I had to secretly unbutton my jeans when no one was looking 👀 what a life we live!

🤭 We have to laugh, don't we? It's so not funny at the time though, especially when out. At home, my hubby calls it my "dinner baby!" 🤣

😂 we do, otherwise it would all be too much! It’s nice on here having it be almost normal for everyone, if I mention it to my friends they just don’t understand!

I got offered a seat on a train once. I was in quite a lot of pain so I totally took it.

Oh wow.

Once, when walking several paces, slowly, behind my hubby & youngest son, I was hobbling (waddling?), breathing through pain & looked like I was in pain when a kind, elderly gent asked me if I needed to sit down whilst he called an ambulance 🤦

This is why I loved elasticated waistlines from an early age and no shirts! Room to expand!

You have a splendid specimen there!😍
