I'm 25+5, today I feel like my bump has grown bigger over the course of the afternoon! The stomach muscles just below my ribs are aching a little, maybe as if they're being pushed from inside? I've not had any particularly large meals today (unlike plenty of other days!!)

I behind you (17 weeks today) but had a similar thing on Monday, really bad stretching pains and then a small bump suddenly appear!

I always seem to be bigger by the evening, then wake up smaller again the next day! I assumed it's just the accumulation of food in my stomach. If it's just a one-off for you, it could be the baby being in a different position. The little blighters darlings do sometimes like to push their feet up against your ribs, it can be really uncomfortable once they're a bit bigger.

Yes, mine did a big jump overnight at about five months.

Mines used to get bigger and smaller as the baby moved around. I know that sounds weird but it's true!

Eep, I'll get used to it changing shape and size by the sound of it then!

Yes! 19 weeks, and belly has gone from ambiguous, to round, hard bump in 48hrs. It's lovelySmile.
