Anyone got this non bloatedness feeling now?

[Maxine77]

I am 12 weeks today and I was wondering has anyone felt like for a week their stomach didnt get bigger? I mean from week 9 - 11 week I was getting round (not sure if its bloatedness) esp after lunch my stomach would just be high up and hard. But over the last few days - my tummy seemed smaller. I am trying not be paranoid but has anyone had this experience? Is it because I am 12 weeks the bloatedness is decreasing and in the morning when i see a smaller stomach it means this is my REAL stomach without all that bloatedness I get during the day? Arrrghhh! I wish I was having my scan today!

Very common in first trimester.  Weight gain at that time is typically due to bloating, water retention and constipation, so it's not unusual to have your tummy actually get smaller.  Soon enough you will be gaining "baby weight" instead of bloated weight.

Yes in the 1st trimester I had the same thing, on some days I would be most bloated than on others. And my stomach would always be bigger at the end of the day. Plus I had very bad constipation problems then and that made my stomach even bigger at times! Don't worry that's very common.
