Think I'm getting smaller...
I'm at 22 weeks, and it feels like i wake up some mornings and look smaller than i did the day before. I'm not losing any weight. Could it be from the uterus moving up?
Is anyone else shrinking?  I want to pop already. I'm tired of looking just "fat".

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
I am 25 weeks, and i know what you mean! Some points of the day i actually look pregnant and other ponts of the day not so pregnant! It's weird! I have only gained 10lbs so far, which i think is good! I am carrying so different from my first preg. last time it was a girl this time a boy!

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
All pregnancies are different. I am pregnant with #2 and everyone thought I would be carrying bigger-even my doc. I am almost 32 weeks and look like I still 28 weeks. I am a little envious though of some patients I see who have nice round bellies. All I have are puffy cheeks lol

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
I think sometimes after a big meal, the belly looks bigger.. and once its digested it goes back to normal. Could that be it?

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
no, because some days i look pg all day, then others I look not pregnant all day. It usually doesn't change after I eat.

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
I am 22 weeks and feel that way too.... I Was going to post on that... I feel like I am more oval, like the baby is moving up, not out as much as in the beginning.... So, I am bigger higher up now and it just looks like I am smaller... could this be it?

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
I'm 22 weeks too. When I wear very loose tops and dresses (maternity or otherwise), I think I look really pregnant. When I wear my regular, non-maternity or blousy clothing, I still look pregnant, but less so.
Could that be it? Either that, or it could be food digesting or gas

I'm pretty sure thats it. I read in Pregnancy week by week that my uterus should be a little above my belly button now, so the shape could be changing. Before it was all in my abdomen, and now I feel it's moving up towards my ribs more. ("it" as in uterus, not baby. lol)

totally agree. at around the 20-22 week mark i started to see dramatic outward growing of the belly, so i felt like i looked so pregnant. now, at 29 weeks, i feel like i'm growing much more "up" than "out", so i don't look too much bigger. but i still feel LARGE

Re: Think I'm getting smaller...
I feel like the upper part of my belly is just growing so much quicker than the bottom part now. My belly button isn't even pushed out yet. I feel distorted sometimes.
