You don't look at all small. Just quit
worrying and enjoy your pregnancy. You
still have 7 weeks to grow.

You actually look a little bigger to me in
the pic. It may be harder for you to
notice since you see yourself everyday. If
you are really concerned you should ask
your doctor what he thinks. Your not
always going to grow at an exact rate. You
may all of a sudden shoot out and then not
grow again for a little bit. As long as
the doc says your baba is ok I wouldn't
worry.

It looks to me like you dropped a little
in the recent photo.

You seem to be quite concerned with your
size and talk about how small you are very
often. You are not small. You are
obviously pregnant.
Some women carry their babies in their
back more. Some carry them all out front.
Is the baby moving normally? Is your
uterus measuring on your dates? Your
ultrasound was fine... so your concern
that you aren't 'big enough' seems like
needless worry.
If I saw you in person, I'd think you were
pregnant. And you look about 7 months to
me.

well compared to how large i was before i
got pregnant i really haven't gotten much
bigger... i even have had many ppl say i
look about only 5 months pregnant when in
fact i'm just about 8 months.
yes i measure correctly but that doesn't
do anything for my worry, considering the
first time i was measure they said i was
only 22 weeks and turned out to be 28...
i'm still waiting for them to do that all
over again. i've only had one ultrasound
and i keep wondering when my next one will
be.
i understand that i DO look pregnant but
seeing how everything else in my life has
always found a way to be (or go) wrong i'm
worried that something will be desperately
wrong. i have all right to worry
considering that i'm not supposed to be
able to have children. So, please, next
time you decided to give some one
confidence take into consideration the
tone that has a tendency to come through
your posting with or without your
knowledge.
Azure
P.S.
(full apologies if i sound b*tchy, but i
feel sick, and all of my friends think i
haven't grown at all)

Sometimes the bigger you are before
pregnancy, the less it looks like you've
'grown'. I have a really good friend who
didn't even have any idea she was pregnant
until she was 6 months along! And it was
because she wasn't feeling well and went
to the hospital for stomach pain that she
was informed she was pregnant. She never,
ever looked any 'different' - even at 9
months.
Pregnancy isn't about how you look on the
outside. It is about how well that baby is
doing on the inside!
Besides, babies shift and move all the
time. One day you might look 20 months
pregnant and the next day the baby will
have moved down or left and you look
'flat' again.
You don't sound b_tchy at all. Next time
your friends have a comment about your
pregnancy, ask them when they got their
obgyn degree.

Hey there! I totally understand how you
feel about always worrying that something
may be wrong. Personally I think you look
bigger in the picture than you did in the
picture of two weeks ago. Maybe he's
dropped a little and that could cause you
to appear smaller to yourself and friends?
I'm not really sure on that, because I'm
no expert. Just trying to give you some
confidence that everything is fine. Good luck on the
last 7 weeks and I hope that everything
turns out great for you and your baby.

Hi! Your tummy definitely looks like it's
sticking out more in the most recent
picture. I'm sorry you're worrying. I hope
everything works out great. It doesn't
look to me from the pictures that you were
"large" before getting pregnant, but if
you did have extra weight on you, I think
it's normal to not look as obviously
pregnant as someone like, oh, .Nicole
.Richie.

yeah, try not to worry too much about it.
if you want to do right by your baby just
eat healthy and make all of your
appointments. take your vitamins. read
your pregnancy books. you know how to
take good care of yourself and that's the
best thing you can do. if there are
concerns, wouldn't your doctor have
mentioned them?
body shape and size makes a huge
difference in how you show. you can have
a long or short torso, the baby can be
sticking out more or less, you can be tall
or petite, you may have started out with
more fat on your body and that might hide
the round shape of the belly, some women
have bigger or smaller boobs or wider or
narrower pelvis and hips that effect how
they carry their pregnant belly. i could
go on and on. people are always going to
make comments. today a little old lady
asked me if i was having twins. i said
no, just one big baby. you can't let that
worry, upset or offend you or you're
always going to be worried, upset and
offended. there are a hundred old wives
tales and false perceptions that people
have about pregnancy.
do your best not to overthink it. talk to
your doctor at your next appointment and
mention that you are anxious about it.
maybe they will send you for an ultrasound
to check the baby's size. if you feel
okay and baby is moving and the doctor
hasn't said anything then you should do
your best to relax and not put pressure on
yourself to conform to someone else's idea
of what your pregnant body should look
like.
i know i'm being long winded but i really
can sympathize because i was overweight
when i got pregnant and i was so worried
about how it was going to affect the baby.
everything i had read said you should
lose weight before getting pregnant
because being overweight can do this, that
and the other to the baby. there was
nothing reassuring, only bad stuff. well,
now i know that my weight had no negative
effect and i had nothing to worry about.
it's only natural to worry and no one can
blame you for that but if you are taking
good care of your health then that is the
very best you can do.

and you DO look like you may have dropped
a little. that makes a big difference.
the way the baby is lying in the womb will
change the size and shape of your belly.
i think you look fine. you're probably
not that much smaller than me and i'm
huge, it just shows a lot more on me
because i have small boobs and narrow
shoulders.

To me it definitely looks like your baby
has dropped alittle and yes it may make
you think you look smaller.
When I first got pregnant I was huge
really early on. At one point I had to go
for tests because I was measuring 9weeks
ahead of what I was! Since I have reached
33 weeks I have slowed down and caught
myself up. Everyone tells me all the time
that I have suddenly stopped growing. I
think it might have slowed down but I am
just growing differently now. I am growing
rounder rather than growing outwards.
Try not to worry about it, everyone is
different and everyone will look
different. As long as doctors and midwifes
say you and baby are fine then believe
them!!
