Bump size fluctuations

kpendo27

Currently 16 weeks and my bump seems smaller than yesterday. I know this can be normal, but it still makes me anxious. Anyone else have this happen?

Umbrella, yeah, remember baby has plenty of room to move.  Bump size will fluctuate, bump shape will fluctuate, etc. Don't worry.

For sure. I look back at bump pics and even the slightest change in angle made my bump look different. Also bloat etc can affect things. There’s no reason to worry about it.

It’s also sometimes what you eat that day and the bloating effects on your belly! I’ve had the same issue. I wanna look pregnant! While I’m pregnant! But no worries, further down the line I heard our stomachs stay big after 20-ish weeks…and my mother in law keeps telling me that we should be grateful now that it’s small and we can still do a lot.

Yes! At night my tummy is one size and when I wake up the next day it’s flatter. I’m 17 weeks.
