wow, where has my bump gone

[harleyd]

im almost at 29 weeks and have had a bump the size of a huge watermelon since about 16 weeks
all of a sudden the baby has moved from lying transverse to head down, and my bump is half the size it was 2 days ago! it feels much lower too and i can get up off the settee without making the mandatory grunting noise long may it last!

Ooh I'm so jealous! Im almost 30 weeks, mw thinks baby is transverse and feel massive

i felt massive too islingtongirl, my midwife is convinced baby is head down now, tho she cant feel a head anywhere
i have a hospital appt on monday so hopefully scan will confirm and baby will stay head down.
its amazing the difference its made. and finally people are saying i look very trim for 29 weeks, instead of the hippopotamus i was a few fays ago

Haha serves me right for speed reading, I got "can't feel a head anywhere...hopefully scan will confirm" and was like , then I decided I should read a bit more carefully (((headdesk)))

there def is a head, , ive seen it on several scans

Haha glad there is a head

Right Im googling change position exercises when I get home tonight - I want this small neat bump - just as well I don't have any other plans on a Friday night these days

Sounds good! I am 27 weeks and I'm sure my bump is smaller than it was at 16 weeks. Mind you then it was all flabby and wobbly whereas now it is all hard and full of baby! My mum asked me if I was eating properly - I think the flab has just redistributed itself.

The same happened to me at 33 weeks. Transverse round to head down and he's stayed there since. Due Monday. No one believes me when they ask lol, even though I think my bump is plenty big enough thank you! But in some ways it is harder too as the baby is a regular size but contained more within my body, so the ribs and pelvis are taking a beating. Measuring spot on for dates though, hoping for a lovely weekend surprise
