That happens to me as well. just normal bloat during the day from eating and drinking.
Totally normal. Your belly expands when you eat and drink
Yup. Always trying to schedule my midwife appointments for the morning so my midwife doesn’t tell me I’m a fatty 😂
I'm noticing this too xx
same 💜
Today I woke up kinda big but usually as the day goes on I get bigger too. I'm about 14 weeks
I was told it's totally normal, if I can remember rightly it's something about your body in the morning has rested overnight and everything is naturally tighter then as the day goes on your body gets more tired and doesn't hold on as well if that makes sense x
Yes after drinking or eating
Omg yes! I feel like I bloat a crazy amount during the day and im 29 weeks.
I always feel like I have a cute little bump in the morning but at night I'm huge and so uncomfortable 😂😂
I'm 16 weeks and this is exactly what happens to me x
Definitely, not sure if it comes with eating food throughout the day or what but I definitely see and feel the difference throughout the day.
Yeah, bug I think most people's stomach looks smaller in the morning. I definitely look a lot more pregnant at night (heck, even before I was pregnant thos was true.)
Ha!! This happens to me too! I was so confused about it lol

Yea I'm the same...wake up barely looking pregnant and then pops out at night. I have to eat all my meals much earlier as I always feel full after 5pm. Xx
Omg yes. I thought it was just me!
Me too! I read that it was because our stomach muscles get tired as the days goes on and just relax, where as in the morning they are tighter and stronger to hold up the bump! Plus all the food 😂
Yep, I always did too.
If anyone is curious, I googled it today and the reason our bumps look bigger at night is apparently because your abdominal muscles get tired of holding up the baby so they relax as the day goes on! So it's not that it's bigger, it's just that our muscles aren't as tight at night as they are in the morning 😂😂

Fascinating.. thank you x
Amazing thank you! I wondered why it was happening!
Yea it depends on the position of the baby
Thought it was just me lol
I think that happened to me around a week ago, currently 25+2. I felt something similar which I thought was strange, but I'm a first time mom. I try to just go with the flow in a way like baby needs to move around maybe and thats why the belly might stretch throughout the day. Plus, eating baby might have been making room to eat and breath. Idk the cause, but I think its normal. Did you talk with your doctor about it?!

Defo!!!!
Yes! I thought I was the only one lol, I don’t remember this with my daughter but I am definitely always bigger by the end of the day😂
Mine does. I’m not super far along but in the morning I just look fat and then throughout the day and when I eat it gets fuller.
Yes mine was getting bigger every day
Same!
Yes every day !!
Yes. As she moves around.
Yes!!! Not just feel bigger but I weigh 3-4 pounds more by bedtime than when I woke up. I feel very uncomfortable. I’ve tried doing smaller meals but I can’t stop eating once I start 😔
Yes and 11 weeks
Yep lol
Yes
Yeah!!! A super lot lol I think because when ur up n walking around the water n baby pull more forward. And when ur laying down it pushes inward. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Yes!!
Yes! And it makes sense because our bellys expand when we eat and we dont have as much space for food anymore!
100% 😂

Your muscles also get tired throughout the day and it’s not as easy to hold the bump in. It seems very normal.
No idea cuz im asleep🙃jk. That was not helpful. I didnt notice... all i noticed was "im fat" lol
YES! My bump seems at least twice as big at night it’s crazy!
YES!! it triples in size I swear!
Early days and I experience this all the time!
Same with me!!! After I’m full I feel like I’m 400lbs and I’m only 4months
