15 weeks today and bump keeps going in and out!

Anyone else feel like their bump disappears in the morning and then comes on at night? I know it's not bloat bc it's upper belly too and it's hard, but it always seems to deflate in the mornings. Would love it to just stay already!

Going in and out is the definition of bloat. Some first time mamas dont show until 20 plus weeks.

I've had bloat this pregnancy this is different bc it's not just confined to my lower stomach. I'm sure that after eating it gets bigger bc it's being pushed out but I wouldn't clarify that as bloat like it was before when that's really all it was.

Im 15 w 2 days and mine does the same thing smaller in the am larger by night and it's not bloat I was told it could be muscles relaxing by end of the day and also the baby shifting

My bump/bloat if huge by the end of the day. Granted it probably is because of the food baby opposed to the twins. I'm not really sure what it is though mostly because I started this pregnancy as a chunky monkey, but DH loves it. I say just embrace it when it's there and eventually it will stay.

Mine does the same thing and it's definitely bloat in my case. I can notice a tiny bump in the am but my pre-pregnancy pants still button. By the late afternoon, however, I'm totally undoing a button or two. I just caved and got some belly bands last night.

I am 13 weeks and this is my 1st pregnancy. My stomach is flat in the morning and by evening I look 6 months! It's crazy! My Dr said it's bloating.

I know I'm already starting to show because I've lost 30+ lbs and still look like I'm 8+ months pregnant. My hubby was the first to notice it and people I haven't seen in several months are like, "wow you lost so much weight since June, but you look super pregnant now, aren't you only 15 weeks or so?" So I guess a good portion of it is still bloat for me too, I just wish it didn't make me look like a land whale at the moment.

I'm a FTM 14+4 weeks and I feel like I definitely have a firmer tiny low bump in the morning and a fuller, more bloated feeling in the evening. No flutters or anything for me yet, so basically I feel like I'm just letting myself go. I honestly can't wait for a real bump just so I don't feel like a squishier version of myself.

It is bloat, but it's bloat caused by the baby = bump. Its different now than it was because your uterus is expanding up i to your abdomen, so it is pushing more out and about.

Yes- that's exactly what I meant when I said it's not the bloat like before. Thanks for explaining it perfectly

I'm 13w5d and I'm going through the same thing! In the morning I still feel semi skinny when I'm laying down that is. Then later in the day I look bigger and rounder but just in the front of my belly.

Same for me, I'm 14 weeks tomorrow. I think a lot of mine is due to some stomach issues at the moment too though... Regardless, my belly is definitely tighter though.
