Bump getting smaller - anxious

Maybe I'm just being paranoid because my first born stopped growing at 36 works leading to an emergency induction...
but I've just done a bump side by side picture and I think I'm getting smaller 🥺

What's your thoughts?

well what weeks are these?

Change of position will change your bump shape and size but as you have a history of IUGR, I would get checked out to make sure your fluid levels haven’t dropped.

By change, I mean your baby changing position.

To me, it just looks like your bump has dropped. Maybe the baby is engaged in the second picture but not in the first?

@MerryDeath 36 & 37 weeks

I think you've gone out a bit more but higher up towards your boobs.

Could baby have turned?

It does look smaller from that angle, but it's hard to tell from a photo. I second going to get your fluid levels checked.

@wouldyouadamandeveit he was head down on both of them. I've shown husband, he thinks I'm tilted slightly more on one than the other 🤷🏻‍♀️
I'll see what midwife says this week
Hopefully not the same situation as before! I don't fancy another induction

@Engard to my medically untrained eye, I really do think there has been a shift in where baby is protruding the most.

Wishing you all the best and a speedy non complicated delivery SmileThanks
