16 weeks where did my belly go?

[finallyready]

2 days ago my belly was huge! I could not get into my regular jeans and I had a lovely round baby bump. Today though, it seems like it is gone! I still have something but it isn't nearly as big as it was. My DH even said I'm a lot smaller than I was. Has this happened to anyone else? Also, I am always way bigger at night time than in the AM....????? This is my first so sorry if this is a stupid quesiton.

the bloat went a 16 weeks and was replaced by bump

Your bloat has gone and what you have now is your proper baby bump Its totally normal, as is being bigger at night than the morning, we bloat up a bit during the day when we have eaten.

Ditto! You had a bloat, not a proper bump. . .and your digestion worked it's way out and the bloat went away. You'll start getting a proper bump now - and I remember from 16-22 weeks or so the change from morning to evening was insane (it grows during the day, then you'll wake up and it will be almost gone again).

Enjoy your real bump!

I've felt the same, my belly was massive and have telling everyone it's bloat. But it's started to go down. Bloats still there but only toward the evening. Make way for baby bump!!! : D x

I had a day ;ast week,I am normal bump sized in the morning,but got up and bump was gone pretty much completely.following morning it was back...crazy crazy

I've had a little bumpy for a couple of weeks now but some has definitely been bloat as in the morning it's definitely smaller. My bloated feeling has started to go down a lot more now but I still get bigger every night! I'm hoping the bloat will really go away soon!

Thanks so much everyone! I know I will regret saying this someday but I hate this 'in-between' stage...I can't wait until I have an actual bump that is noticeable to strangers rather than just people that know.

you will have massive growth spurts in the next few weeks I am enjoying my small bumpiness before it turns into oh my this is a large bumpiness lol.

Same thing happened to me, yesterday I got up and mine had shrunk dramatically! And its still that way today. xx

 

[open lotus]

ah looks like your baby has changed position

mine was huge upto 16/18 weeks, then it suddenly stopped at just firmed up aswell

With my first baby I had bloat til 14wks, loved it as it made me look pregnant!

Then the bloat went and I was back to my flat tummy!! No change was noticeable in my tummy til around 23wks with my first.

Hoping I will show earlier this time, but now at 17+3 I am starting to wonder....
I still have the lovely pregnant bloat from afternoon/evening, but then flat tummy in morning!! Come on bump, I am off on holidays in 10 days so want to have a nice bump to show!!

U got to remember baby is pretty small still. It can depend on where ur baby is lying. Some days ill av a massive bump then next day cant tell i even av one

I do not know for sure if I am pregnant. I feel in my heart that I am. Back in April I had a long list of pregnancy symptoms but I was still bleeding every month(the flow changed and it was late one month by a few days and early one month by a few days). This has NEVER happened to me before. I've always been pretty regular. I have taken about 7 hpts and they were all neg and 1 blood test and it was neg. Now I'm noticing that my stomach is getting bigger and I notice in the morning its smaller but by the evening I look pregnant. I don't remember this happening before. I'm scheduled to go to the drs on Friday to talk about getting an ultrasound. I've never been pregnant but honestly it feels like I could be.

Hi ttc, I would say its unlikely that you would get a false neg blood test. Though there is such a thing as a phantom pg that can happen if you have been trying a v long time. U can almost convince yourself tgat you're pg. But I wish you the best of luck, if you are pg then doc should ne able to feel something x

Oh man! I keep thinking "ok now I'm starting to show" because my massive night time belly couldn't all be bloat. But then, shazzam! Morning comes, followed by a poop, and I'm back to my pre preg self again. This bloat is absolutely insane, I can look 7 mos preg at night, and 0 mos preg in the morn.
