My Belly Keeps Changing Shape

[Louisa K]

Anyone else's belly keep changing shape?

Upto 17 weeks - Egg shaped bigger at the bottom, smaller at the top

Then this week (18 wks) - Teardrop bigger at the top going into a point almost at the bottom

Is there a reason this has happened, like the baby moved upside down or summin..

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this??

My belly sometimes changes shape too. I dont really have a bump yet and still fit into my nrmal clothes but sometimes I get odd, large lumps sticking out or it gets bit at the top and not so much down low. Really weird.

As your Uterus grows everything get pushed upwards, so this could explain why it is changing shape!

Sounds like your lil one has changed positions, they'll do that from time to time depending on how they feel and what you're doing that day. So some days your tummy may even look bigger or stick out more than others. Kinda cute to watch though don't you think?

It is too early to see or notice change in posistion from the outside.......

Around week 17 your uterus starts changing shape, and starts to resemble an egg rather than a large ball. This shape will continue throughout your pregnancy. As your pregnancy continues your uterus will grow into your pelvis and much of your abdomen, pushing your inner organs here, there and everywhere as you continue to grow.

By 17 weeks pregnant you are probably showing a bit, though some women can still hide their pregnancies quite well even through 20 weeks pregnant. Your uterus is between 1 ½ and 2 inches below your belly button by this point in time.
