don't worry it is probably just in a different position. this happens to me also, some days he is sticking out like crazy and some days it feels like he is more "inside" than normal...the doctor told me its becuase they either have their backs facing out or in. as long as you can feel some movements you should not worry too much.

Don't worry, I noticed with both of my chidlren that in the morning before I ate all day and drank a lot of fluids my stomach was smaller. Just like you normal stomach it can get bloated and if you eat a ton it can appear to be huge. As for the softer part I think you may just be a little paranoid. Trust me early on it is easy to worry about everything. Just relax and enjoy being pregnant, but if you are really concerned their is a problem call you doctor, but expect some normal changing like when you weren't pregnant. Good Luck!!!!!

Baby is sleeping! Relaxed baby and relaxed mammy = smaller, softer belly. When baby is awake and active, mammy is stressed out and mammy's muscles tense thus bigger belly and hard belly. It's not a problem! Try to remain relaxed and baby will be relaxed.

I think there is nothing to worry about. My belly started to show up only when 6 months and very tiny, but it did get smaller and bigger from time to time.

completely norma...you probably havent eatin yet and the baby probably moved to another spot....feel around and you'll be soft on one side and a lil' harder on the other if its soft all over dont worry the baby probably just moved futher back towards your spine a big sign for that is your lower back kills you....i had a BACK pregnancy, she loved cuddeling my spine so i hardly felt her up front but my back sure did feel her!!
congrats mommy too be you'll love every second of pregnancy and even birth...it will hurt but something about giving birth to your child makes every pain worth it!!

i just think it depends on what position ur baby is laying. I wouldn't be concern if u can still ur baby's movements. THere will be days ur tummy looks bigger or vice versa

it's no big deal. your skni might just be getting ready for more severe stretching in your future. at this point on your belly is gonna be doing some growing!
