16 week and bump has dissapeared

[Milliemoo12]

Hi guys I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant and up to waking up this morning I've had quite a big bump and now this morning my bump has completely disappeared. Could this be a sign that the baby had stopped growing or just major bloating? Thank you I just seem to be a lot more nervous the second time round xx

It's unlikely that at 16 weeks you have a huge bump because of baby more likely to be gas.

I bloated loads in the first trimester and then it went down to a neat and tidy bump by 16wks also I found that the baby has simply settled closer to me at the back and was facing out rather than the traditional bum facing the world position this is fine however as this suits your centre of gravity better and when the time comes to get into birthing position it just does as mi e has now at 33 weeks.
