17W 4D and belly looks smaller this week?!?!

[*Efjay*]

If its any comfort, my 2nd pregnancy theplacenta was at the front also & I felt no movement till about 22 weeks.

Nic, I definitely had the same experiences. One minute I had a firm bump and then a couple of days later it seemed smaller and my tummy was soft again like there was no sign of a baby! About 2 weeks ago my tummy was very lopsided and only hard on the right side, so I gave him a bit of a poke and he disappeared again! So, it seems it all depends on the position of bub, and there's still quite a bit of room to move around in so s/he is playing a bit of hide and seek! Now at around 24w, there is no mistaking the hard belly bump!

Thanks FionaJill & Megan
I guess it still is early days on really looking pregnant but with everthing I had read I should feel movement for the 20 week mark so not long to go.

Around week 15 my bump looked like it shrunk. I was worried, but it went back to looking big within a few days.
