This is the reason Meghan Markle’s baby bump looks BIGGER in the evening than it does during the day
Doctors and birth experts have weighed in on the scientific reason why the Duchess' bump may look larger at night
MEGHAN Markle has been showing off her growing bump on the royal tour Down Under.
But royal fans have spotted something very odd about the shape of the bump when she dresses for dinner in the evenings.
People have been pointing out that the bump looks noticeably larger in the evenings than it does in the day, and there might be a reason for this.
Speaking to Trimester Talk, birth companion Susannah Birch said this might be down to the abdominal muscles being tired from holding the bump.
She explained: “At 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.”
And another expert attributed her larger evening bump to common bloating and progesterone.
Melbourne-based gynaecologist Dr Joseph Sgroi said to : “A lot of women will say that towards the end of the night they do feel a lot more bloated, and that bloating sensation is a combination of them obviously having eaten over the course of the day.
“One of the things progesterone does, which is the primary hormone that’s secreted from the placenta, is it actually slows down gut motility, so it slows down the transit time from when you eat something to when it comes out the other end.”
Eagle-eyed fans claim that Meghan’s new diamond ring could be proof she is having a baby in April.
When she attended an Invictus event in Australia this month, the Duchess of Sussex wore three stackable rings by Canadian brand Ecksand.
Fans claim Meghan’s August birthday is represented by the green peridot stone, Prince Harry’s September birthday is the blue sapphire, and the third ring has a diamond.
People are speculating that this diamond addition means her baby is due in April.
WHEN IS MEGHAN MARKLE'S BABY DUE?
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will welcome their first child in spring 2019.
- While a due date has not yet been confirmed, speculation has it around late March or early April.
- It has been confirmed this month that Meghan had had a successful 12-week scan, meaning her baby could be due around St George's Day on April 23 - which is the birth date of Prince Louis.
The good news came just hours after Meghan and Prince Harry, 34, touched down in Australia for the first leg of their 16-day royal tour Down Under.
Their news came nearly five months to the day that they were married in a lavish ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
