small belly, problem?

Question

I'm 27 weeks 5 days. I feel great (besides this cold) and have gained a natural amount of weight. But have been getting some criticism on my petite belly... I know everyone's different so why do people have to act like this?

Answer

I'm 30 weeks & feel small too!! 🙄

Answer

I'm small too (we also have the same name haha!!!) this was me at 27.5 weeks. I ignore the comments. Baby is measuring on track and I'm feeling good so what else really matters? Everyone is different before pregnancy so during pregnancy is no exception!

Answer

Lol I don't understand why people are so bothered by these comments when people say they are too small or too big. The people are obviously comparing you to someone they have in mind and you already know that everyone is different so why even worry about it? I literally had someone ask me two days ago if me and my husband were planning on having children any time in the next few years... I'm 29 weeks pregnant. I thought it was funny and then I moved on with my life. My baby and I are both healthy, that's all I care about, not about how I look to other people.

Answer

Me at 27 weeks :)

Answer

Going on 29 weeks. I've been getting those comments this entire time and they're completely ridiculous. Everyone looks different and there's nothing wrong with being small, so long as baby is okay. And he is.

Answer

Me at 30 weeks and my family thinks I'm really big..

Answer

I'm having twins and keep hearing the same thing!  My friend said it's mostly because I'm long in the torso and have wider hips.  I just let people talk.

Answer

People think they're pregnancy experts or something. Drives me freaking nuts! Try to ignore the comments, even though you probably just want to smack people every time they feel they need to comment.

Answer

I have had up and down comments I'm not worried about had a absolute stranger tell me at 16 weeks  I was ready to drop any day I said no I have until Jan. She then proceeded to is it twins I m like im not that big but hey her opinion. My aunt said a couple weeks ago now at 25weeks u not that big this time around that's just all baby again not offended she compared my other pregnancies in which I did get huge with esp my girls my brother asked me a couple days ago where my weight was this time and said the same I'm smaller compared to my others at 27 weeks which is so true. so don't get offended ladies some people don't realize how sensitive we are about how we look sometime I'm just happy all is well and we are 100% healthy

Answer

People do not know how to speak. I am carrying small too and instead of someone saying that to me today, a person who thinks before they speak said, you are carrying beautifully. My baby is not even 3lbs, how big could I really be at this point?! Also everyone is different, my abs and core happen to be very strong because of years of yoga and pilates, so she is very high up and I'm compact, people always guess I'm having a boy. Don't stress over others, the health of you and your baby are most important.
