Birth doula Susannah Birch, also reveals ab muscles play a role. "[A]t night time, your abdominal muscles are tired from holding your bump [and they] loosen as they grow more tired, which allows your bump to sit out further and appear larger," Birch told Trimester Talk.

"When you go to sleep, your muscles get a chance to rest and recuperate so they're refreshed and ready to maintain your bump's position when you wake," she further explained.
