Smaller at different times of day?

[Mummatotwo!]

Hi, just wanted to hear from other expecting mums...


Does anyone look HEAPS smaller at different times of the day?
In the morning i am tiny and just look "fat" lol.

But at night i am huge. Surely it cant be all fluid and water retention!!

Any thoughts?

Yep, mainly just fluid retention, what you've eaten over the day, where baby is laying etc. Completely normal to have fluctuations through the day even this late in pg.

is it an indication on size though?

[Trillian]

The baby's size? Not at all.

Hi
I am only 19 weeks but am experiencing the same thing. In the morning I don't look pregnant at all. By the evening I am huge. The first time I noticed this I went to the hospital in a panic as I thought I had miscarried, but everything was OK.

Same here - in the morning i am one of those pregnant ladies you see in the cosmo mag modeling their bump in a string bikini - by the evening if i put on a string bikini i would look like the xmas ham!

I was like this my last pregnancy, and bub was 8 pound 11 lol.

When i say that i get bigger during the day, i am talking 2 hours after i get up i am the same size for the rest of the day. Maybe its just bub squished in while i am sleeping.

I was the same too. In the evenings you would swear I was having triplets LOL. I put it down to bloating.
