A member asked:

Would weak abs/stomach muscles and being thin when remaining pregnant cause a woman to have a 'torpedo belly' shape as she gets bigger with baby?

Not necessarily so: If you look at the cover of a "bodybuilder" mag you can see the anatomy of the surface of your abdominal wall. It is composed of several muscles and also connective tissue. Exercising can build up the muscle tissue but not the connective tissue. You don't know how big your uterus will grow and push outward on your abdominal wall but "qué sera sera".
