Why Does My Baby Bump Fluctuate In Size?
The amount of amniotic fluid can fluctuate throughout pregnancy and even hourly. At the beginning of pregnancy your body is producing most of the amniotic fluid. However as your baby grows they are producing more fluid through urine and lung excretions meaning your bump may change in size.
Your baby is growing, and soon you'll see your pregnant belly growing too. From a little baby bump to a basketball, all pregnant bellies come in different shapes and sizes. Don't get caught comparing bellies! Every woman is shaped differently, so pregnant bellies will look different across the board.
