Bump getting smaller - anyone?

Hi, I'm almost 15 weeks. And a few days ago I felt this pressure down below. And the next day my bump just got smaller. In fact my tummy feels flabby and loose rather than that tight feeling. Does this sound normal?

Your ‘bump’ in the early days is usually bloat rather than baby. Baby is still tucked up in your pelvis at the moment. You’ll start getting a proper bump nearer 25/30 weeks I would think.

Agree with pp, I was skinnier at 15 weeks than I was at 6 weeks. Partly due to sickness but also partly because I bloated early on and then lost all the bloat around 15 weeks. I didn't get a proper bump until late in my second trimester.

Baby hasn't come out and can't shrink so try not to worry 🙂 I know that sounds flippant but I mean it supportively.

You're coming out of 'the bloat' and/or baby has moved round so isn't pressing against the outer wall of your abdomen at the moment. They would be hide and seek champions at that gestation as they're still very small compared to their surroundings. It won't be many weeks til they're big enough that you can figure out where they are and what they're doing, I promise.

Thank you all so much. I didn't even know this was a thing. You would think I would because it's my second but I feel like this didnt happen with my first.
From what I've been reading as well , it seems normal.
