Why am I so small?

Question

I am almost 25 weeks and it looks like I just started to pop. Everyone tells me I need to gain weight and my baby boys not healthy which worries me so much. I don't know what to do to I just want him to be healthy.

Answer

Tell everyone to shut up and please please please be thankful you're small being big is not that fun it's really not

Answer

Unless your doctor is worried you shouldn't be worried. Everyone carries weight differently and everyone's body is different. Some people show early and others show later. They're being able insensitive and you should tell them that the doctor says baby is fine the way he is.

Answer

Some people stay small.  I didn't even gain 20lbs my entire pregnacy. It wasnt until I was 35 weeks that i actually looked pregnant.  My baby was healthy and a little over 8lbs.

All that matters is that you and your baby are both healthy😊

Answer

I didn't have a belly until 28 weeks, and it wasn't obvious until 32 weeks. This is the difference between 29 and 33 weeks. One day you'll probably just wake up huge like I did 😂

Answer

Unless your doctor is worried, then you shouldn't worry. I only gained a pound a month for the first 5 months. I gained 17 pounds total and was stuck for about 2 months. And I finally gained 4 more pounds && was stuck for about a month, then finally the last 2 weeks or so I went up 2 more pounds. I only gain 23 pounds. They normally want you to gain 25-35 pounds---but no matter how much I ate, I wouldn't gain weight.

I was worried so my dr scheduled me for multiple ultrasounds to monitor his growth and he measured perfected. He was small, but so is me and his father so a 8+ pound baby wasn't expected. When my son was born his Apgar score at 1 min was 8 && at 2 mins was 9. I couldn't ask for a healthier 5 pound 11 ounce baby boy.

Answer

Only start to worry if your doctor says something. This girl I work with is about 24 weeks and she's smaller than I am at 17 weeks. It all just depends!
