Does/Did this happen to your belly?

After about 5pm my belly starts growing exponentially. By the time I leave work at 1am it is at least twice the size it is in the morning. Is it the food not being able to digest quick enough and getting stuck on top on the baby? In the morning, I'm back to just a baby belly. It been happening for weeks now. I'm at 24 weeks.

I haven't heard of that. Did you mention it to your doctor?

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

This always happens to me. My baby belly is small in the morning and by the end of the day - I look so much bigger.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

i feel like mine gets bigger throughout the day, it could just be the way i feel.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Mine is definitely harder at night and a little softer in the morning.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

After I eat I get so bloated. Even not pg.

Now the food/bloat starts higher up on my belly and I look 2x bigger than before I ate.

Happened to me all the time

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

I'm right there with ya! I noticed how bad it was yesterday, actually! When i was putting my PJs on, I was like "damn, I think I got huge today!" Then this morning, I was back to the way I was yesterday morning!

We were just talking about this at work yesterday. As the day goes on, my belly expands. By 8pm it is enormous but by the time I wake up & go to the bathroom it is 'normal' again!

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

This happens everyday I don't know why though.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Yep! Somedays I would wake up and forget I was pregnant.

My belly would be so small in the morning that it scared me.

Let's just say by 7:00pm there was NO mistaking it!!

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

I definitely feel bigger/more bloated in the evenings.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

this happens to me lately by the end of the night (esp. after dinner)

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Thank you so much!!!!!!!! DH just laughs at it.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

When I get out of the shower in the morning, I look only about 4-5 months pregnant, but by the time I leave work at 6pm, I look like I could give birth at any moment.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

I'm sure it has to do with the normal gains through the day...you eat all day long and it obviously doesn't all come out at one time...you retain water, you lose it...so by morning time, you are smaller/normal again.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

YES!! I posted about this awhile ago (because now my belly is always big ) but I used to wake up in the morning and feel great. Then as the day went on I literally felt my stomach getting bigger and bigger. By nighttime it was huge!

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Mine grows throughout the day. I'm not sure why, though I would guess it has something to do with bloat and food.

In the morning, it's almost flat again.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Yes this happens to me!!!!! My belly is much bigger at night then the morning. so weird!

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

happens to me too..I think this is why I sleep better in the morning. After lying down all night the food has finally digested.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

Yes happens to me too - remember your digestive system relaxes and I think it takes longer for food to go thru - it is just bloat which is why it gets better in the morning. For me the baby is very high up so when I eat anything it def shows.

Re: Does/Did this happen to your belly?

My belly "grew" throughout the day as well. My pants always got a little tighter especially after eating a big meal which happens to everyone. I think there isn't a lot of room in there like you used to have.
