Smaller bump at 13 weeks?!

I’m almost 13 weeks and noticed today that my bump is smaller and softer than it has been…my constipation and bloating do seem to have gone down. Could it just be that? 

Re: Smaller bump at 13 weeks?!

  • Is this your first baby? Any "bump" you had by 13 weeks would 100% be bloating, the baby is smaller than a raspberry. Things start to stretch and move around, but bloating is the primary cause of anything that looks like a bump so soon, especially in a first pregnancy. Typically, they say you show sooner in subsequent pregnancies because your body jumps into baby mode faster.
    I wouldn't worry about it and just enjoy it while you're clothes aren't obnoxiously too small yet! :)

  • It was likely just bloat. Some women never really get a bump because it’s dependent on the length of your torso.
