why is my bump getting smaller?

in Pregnant after a Loss
It is weird - even this morning my husband commented how much smaller my bump felt/looked. I know baby is fine bc I listened w the doppler. Wonder why the bump looks so much tinier today? I'm almost 18 weeks and up about 5 1/2 lbs. Wondering if I should have gained more by now? This is the farthest I've ever gotten in a pregnancy.

    As far as weight gain goes, I think you're fine. I didnt gain anything until 20w. 

    sometimes its just the way baby sits. s/he could be closer to your back right now or snuggled in down low.

    I agree with this! I still technically havent gained any weight with the twins. I was placed on the GD diet and lost weight, on Wed. I was finally back to my prepregnancy weight.

    Well this is probably the explanation. I was just going to add, though, that a lot of women say that their bloating decreases in the second trimester. That could also be making your bump appear smaller.

    I noticed my bump got way smaller when the baby changed positions.  He was transverse and when he went head down around 30 weeks my bump decreased a lot!
