Can You See It When You Are Pg?

His might be a silly question, but does the port become noticeable the farther along you are?

I haven't been banded yet, but once I am and have lost the weight, I look forward to getting PG for a second time and having a beautiful round belly.....but will the port show?

I'm 28 weeks along and fairly heavy but no sign of the port. Good luck!

I am in my 28th week too...port just becoming a lil more obvious at the site..not visible just able to feel a lot easier. No bother at all

Mine looks like a golf ball now that I am skinny...if I puff out nmy stomach it looks huge to me...yes you will see it...I consider it a badge of honor! Like you have gotten healthy for your baby!

34 weeks pregnant. Yes I see a small round ball, but really doesn't bother me. I was 100 lbs more at my last pregnancy. At least now I have a cute round preg belly.

A little late here, but I've gone through 2 pregnancies while banded, and you couldn't see the port with either pregnancy, but you could feel it, and my scar was a lot more prominent. When people touched my belly I usually would put my hand where my port is so that people wouldn't feel it and ask me if it was a hand or a foot.
