Quite possibly a stupid question....

...and I'm hoping it doesn't fall into the realm of the annoying posts that should really be typed into Google as per that other thread , but is it normal in the early stages of pg for the bump to appear smaller all of a sudden?? I'm 14+4 and obviously only have a tiny bump, but it's been pretty visible for a few weeks as I'm very little and slim; now it seems smaller . Haven't lost any fluid or had any bleeding or anything.

Yes it did that to me !

I think its because you are so bloated at the start of your pregnancy the ' bump ' varies in size a lot.

At 12 weeks some nights I looked 6 months pregnant and then I would look 3 months in the morning. Im very slim too so I was very aware of my bump. Dont worry :) xxx

Absolutely. I had a bigger bump at 8 weeks than at 12, I think it was mainly gas!

Maybe you aren't as bloated as you were in early pregnancy, hence the reduction in tummy size. I am very slim too and current 37+3 but only put about 15/16lbs on thus far. I didn't get a proper bump till about 20 weeks but my tummy was quite bloated in first trimester then that went and tummy reduced before bump started appearing.

I had a huge bump at 8 weeks! Then it went down after a week, was just bloating and podge :(
