belly ups and downs Mood
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 | A General Update story

So I've been enjoying the growing of my belly. was looking very prego in my 16 week belly pic. 

 

Then yesterday i woke up with a much smaller belly. And it's still small today.  I don't even look pregnant.  just look a little puggy like i did earlier in my pregnancy.  I guess it could have been bloat that has gone down and or baby changed position.  totallly frustrating and a little concerning though. 

 

I bet I could even buttom my pre pregnancy jeans!  This is crazy.  Talk about not feeling pregnant.  Symptoms were left back in the first trimester and now I don't even have the belly to show for it.  Just heard the heartbeat on Thursday and all was fine.  Maybe I should go in to hear heart beat again. 

 

tottally bummed..

    Dont worry. Im 20 weeks and have teh same issue. I looked more pregnant before than I do now. You cant even tell im pregnant. But i feel him in there ALL the time so I know he is fine. We may just take longer to pop!!

    Sounds like bloating and movement to me. I wouldn't worry as long as the heartbeat was good and strong. If you are really concerned call your doctor. Did you by chance measure your belly before you feel you shrunk? I wonder if you measure again now if the measure would be different or just moved around. Maybe baby has moved and isn't protruding as much because of the position change. Hoping you continue to have a happy and healthy pregnancy. That little one will be here before you know it. XO :)

    I too took forever to show, but it finally did happen and I cant fit into any of my regular pants anymore now (29 wks). I also found that my belly would change shape and size, sometimes having to do with the time of day and others for no reason I could make sense of.
    Finally, I can totally relate to worrying about not feeling the baby. At my 20wk OB appt, I asked for an u/s because of this, but was told all was fine given the heartbeat. Shortly thereafter the little bubbles or stomach rumbling I was feeling turned into more recognizable bumps and movement.
    I'm sure you'll be feeling movements soon too!!!
