worried about growing baby, I feel like I have gotten smaller

Is it possible at 16 wks the baby is just in a different position, I seemed to be showing more this weekend and now today I can almost even "suck in" which I couldn't do a week ago.  I am leaving for Florida and trying on some of my summer clothes that were packed away and the shorts miraculously fit!  That's odd, being I went out and bought is Maternity stuff thinking there was no way they would fit.  Now they do?!? whats going on???

Take a look at my bio (click on my picture) to see my 16 week pic...no bump to speak of.

i feel the same! some days i feel bigger then others. Today when i woke up i felt that i had hardly a belly at all.  The morning are always different though because you weight less then.  Plus if I have not gone to the bathroom my belly looks huge!

I am also 16 weeks and I've noticed that some days I'm bigger than others.  My uterus moved around and is in different positions day and night.  I wouldn't worry from day to day, but keep an eye on your weight and make sure it is heading upward...a lb a week or so.  If it is going down I'd mention it to my dr, but they'd see that at your visit anyhow. My guess is you're fine.    Remember, at this point for us the baby is not that big so a lot of it is still bloat and organs finding a new location hehehe.

It may be that you were still a lot more bloat than anything else... I know I personally didn't get an actual bump - even though i thought I had until about a week and a half ago.  I thought that I had popped at about 15 weeks, and looking back at pictures (I take one every week) I realized that until about 18 weeks it was a thickening of everything wheras now I have a waist, and then I have my bump sticking out.

This happened to me, I think it was because the bloat went away.

I was going to say the same thing.. It was prob bloat that's starting to go down.. I'm almost 18 weeks and just now starting to notice the beginings of a bump..

I am 17 weeks and still have no bump at all. My dr is not worried, so neither am I. I am sure all is fine.
