Belly size change

Hi everyone I’m 18 weeks and 2 days, and lately I’ve been feeling like my stomach feels smaller. I know certain things I eat will cause me to bloat but I can’t help but worry since this is my first pregnancy. Do you experience a lot of size fluctuations around this time? I did start working out again and eating more protein since I’m feeling better in m second tri so not sure if I just lost belly fat or what. :/

I’m 20 weeks and I feel the same way! I think it’s normal and it’s my first pregnancy too

TMI, but on the days I'm not constipated(Been struggling with constipation during this pregnancy), my stomach is a bit smaller 😂

I’m 18 weeks and sometimes I feel bigger than other days.. my first pregnancy and I am always in my head if I’m doing something right or wrong

I’ve been feeling that way too! And I just had a stomach bug too, so that made me nervous. But yes, my friends/family/OB all say that it’s all normal. As long as your doctor says you’re healthy, that’s all that matter 🙏🏼

I notice my belly size being different depending on if I used the bathroom (#2) and if the baby is in a different position. He's usually pretty low on my bladder but sometimes he's higher or even sideways making my belly poke out more.

I know the feeling I’m always freaking out about sleeping on my right side but my midwives and friends have all said it’s okay.
