Can your bump get smaller...(without giving birth!)

[AliBean]

I am 18wks and I swear my bump is much smaller today than it was yesterday.

Is this normal? Has the baby "burrowed" into me further?!

Mine shrank loads last week, I am 22 weeks. I have stopped eating the shite and I think I'm just less bloated. I'm back on my normal healthy veggie diet of lentils and chick peas etc

yes i remember this happening - baby has prob moved into a different position. My DS's are 5 and 9.

That definitely happened to mine, and was especially noticeable before 24 weeks when the rapid expansion started happening

I'm now 37+1 and bump still grows and shrinks - I think it depends on whether I've stuffed myself stupid or eaten normally...

I just asked the midwife about this last appointment - she said it's likely down to the baby changing position. Perfectly normal

Oh that's alright then!

Thanks ladies
