Did my bump shrink? (Pic)

I'm 39w1d and I feel smaller than normal. Opinions please!

  • I wouldn't say smaller. You probably dropped. I started to measure small when my baby dropped.

  • I don't think your bump looks any smaller. But I know how you feel! Sometimes late at night I'll look down at my bump and feel smaller than normal, and then other times (like right now lol) I feel HUGE. I think it depends on whether or not you have an empty stomach and baby's position.
  • Baby's position and where their little feet are pushing out makes a big difference on how much you are poking out.  I know that mine lo hasn't dropped yet though, those toes are still in my diaphragm.  
  • I was measuring significantly smaller, 28 weeks, at 37 weeks. The dr was worried maybe I was losing fluids. She ordered an ultrasound and all was fine. She thought maybe the baby had just dropped. If you're concerned though call the dr to ease your mind.
  • Mine seems to be smaller when I look down, but not so much from the side. I think it's just from baby dropping
