Ok... I just wondered if I'm crazy or not.. :lol ..with my first daughter my stomach got HUGE and stayed HUGE throughout my entire pregnancy. But for some reason with this baby, my stomach got pretty big, and now it seems like it's gotten smaller. I mean, I'm still pretty big, but not as big as I was for the past couple of weeks. Even DH noticed it. I'm just wondering is normal.

the baby could've moved so she's not pushing on your belly as much and is more just in there. you could've also been kinda bloated. it has happened to me too where i'm like i look huge but then i don't.

That happened to me as well with my DD. And is the same reason a lot of people assume certain celebrities fake pregnancies.

My belly would sometimes look like a big basketball in some pictures & then in others be more wide on the sides. It just all depended on the positioning, etc!

I just look really fat all the time so I can't say but I am sure everythings fine. :)

also the first time around your uterus had never been expanded before, now it has so it doesn't need to stretch as much as it did the first time around. I showed later with each pregnancy and my tummy wasn't as big either

That happened with dd#3, one day I would be huge and the next I would not even look preggo, just fat :giggle
I could even suck my tummy in and poeple would ask if I had had her already :lol

They just like to wiggle around in there :yes

I don't know that she's dropped... I think it's too early for that... but I mean, I can still feel her moving - although it isn't as much as before, but still quite a bit... it's just weird that one day I can barely button my pants because I'm so big, and the next day it seems I can suck in and look "a little fat" and not even pregnant. I guess with all the problems I've had during this pregnancy, even the smallest things that are probably nothing scare me. I'm sure you girls are right and it's nothing... I just wanted to hear someone tell me that I'm not crazy..lol
