Stomach went down, is this normal?

I turned 15 weeks today and since yesterday hubby and I noticed that my stomach seems smaller. I am not very slim, but had a tummy pre-pregnancy. I know that bloating is normal during 1st trimester as well. Could it be that my bloating has stopped and I went to pre-preg tummy or something else?  Also, over the past 2 or 3 nights I don't have to get up to go to bathroom as often. Some preg sites claim that as the uterus moves up in 2nd trim it relieves the bladder somewhat. My OBGY appt is on Oct 18th. Any insight will be appreciated.

I went through the same thing. It freaked me out like something was wrong. It was right around 13-14 weeks i think. The belly is back now!!! Everyone keeps saying how popped out I am already. Dont worry about it. I think this probably happens to everyone as their body changes for baby

my stomach appeared to "drop" at 15 weeks as well.. enough for me to notice, at least. i think it does have to do with the amount of bloating, which i definitely think was making my stomach appear fuller one week and less so the next.. it has been filling back out though and then some, so i don't think you have anything to worry about ;)
