Small belly?

I feel like my belly is small for 22 weeks :/ I seriously feel like it got smaller from last week. I still feel my little girl kicking but im worried im doing something wrong.. OR my body is just being like it used to where I'd FINALLY gain weight then i'd lose it quickly. Help plz or some reassurance that it is okay..

I'm 23 weeks today and my belly size changes from day to day. Some days I'm bigger and others I barely show. My point in pregnancy it's because baby still has a lot if room to change positions. When baby is closer to your back you will look smaller, but when he/she is positioned closer to the surface of your belly you'll look bigger. Once baby gets bigger and doesn't have so much room it should even out and you'll remain the same size more (with the exception of growing, of course;) Also like someone mentioned above, you'll look bigger if your bloated or just ate a full meal. I find that im always bigger at night than I am in the morning, and my belly seems tighter. Im a small person, im 5'4 and now weigh 111, I weighed 102 before pregnancy. Maybe that has somethig to do with it, either way every womans body is diffrent and what your going through is normal. I hope this helps, Good Luck!!

It all depends on whether you're bloated and how your baby is positioned. Your belly will also drastically change when they go into the head down position and drop.

Some women don't show much at all the whole time they're pregnant. Some women pop out later on. I'm huge and I'm only 21 weeks 4 days, and I hate it. I look like I should be 9 months.

As long as the baby is growing, the size of your belly isn't an issue.
