I am 28 weeks pregnant. My belly has been the size it was supposed to be. I just went to the doctor a little less than a week ago, and I have to go back in another week Because I go every two weeks at this point. Anyway, I woke up a couple of days ago and it was way flatter than normal, and it still is. No Bleeding or anything, and he is still moving. Should I call or wait for appointment in one week.

Sometimes the baby will reposition himself so that your belly will appear smaller, like by turning so that his back is facing out. As long as he or she is still moving well, I wouldn't worry about it. If you still are worried, which wouldn't surprise me given the stupid assinine answer I just saw, go ahead and see your doctor, if nothing else to comfort you. There's no point in sitting at home worrying. It isn't good for either of you. Hope this helps. Good luck, and congratulations.

it is possibul that the baby has turned and has her back to you.here are ten growth milestones at twenty-six to twenty-nine weeks:
How does baby grow this month? Check out the following growth milestones:

By the end of this month baby weighs around 2 to 2-1/2 pounds and measures around fourteen inches long.
During this month baby has a growth spurt, gaining around a pound.
Fat deposits smooth out some of the previous wrinkles, giving baby a more filled out appearance, but he is still much skinnier than he will be at birth.
Baby is getting stronger! His limbs are longer, stronger, and these delightful little kicks make more of an impression in your abdomen.
Baby's eyelids open. Baby can now see, hear, smell, and taste.
Baby's bone marrow now takes over from the spleen as the major site of red blood cell production.
At this stage, baby moves vigorously and responds to touch and sound.
Baby gets smarter as major changes occur throughout her nervous system. Nerve fibers are clothed in a fatty layer called myelin that allows nerve impulses to travel faster.
Cells lining the rapidly budding alveoli (air sacs in baby's lungs) begin to secrete a soapy substance called surfactant that keeps these air sacs from collapsing—similar to the substance that keeps the soap bubble expanded. Depending on how well developed are the alveoli and surfactant secretion, if baby were born now, she may be able to sustain air breathing and life outside the womb.
Before the seventh month, most babies choose to lie in the breech position because it's easier for them to rest comfortably in the pear-shaped uterus, but most will flip to the head-down position by 34 weeks

Anytime you feel something is wrong while pregnant you should call your doc. Peace of mind is better than anxiety. the good news is that our pregnant bodys tend to change shape over night and your baby is probably just sitting in a different position. he/she might have flipped. if your doc is at all worried he'll send you in for an ultrasound just to be sure.

you'll probably find baby has changed positions so it can make your bump look a different shape.
