A member asked:

Lower part of stomach sticks out even when i lay down. i am not fat, 5'6" and 125lbs and in good shape. am i pregnant? what's causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basement insulation: There appears to be R-38 insulation (fat) in the basement (abdomen) of your body. Often this can be due to fluid retention prior to a period, or it really is fat and your conditioning is not a "good shape" as your describe. There are exercises that can address your condition if due to fat.
