Should I be bigger?

Question

I keep seeing everyone's bump pics and cant help but feel like mine should be bigger. I was a few pounds over weight when I got pregnant and have gained a total of 12 lbs so far. My doctor hasn't said anything about my size so I'm assuming everything is fine. I just feel like I'm missing out ☹

This was me in the beginning at 5 weeks.

This morning at 26 weeks

Answer

As long as your baby is growing on track I wouldn’t worry. Everyone carry’s differently.

Answer

We all grow babies differently. Some women hardly show when they’re 40 weeks. I’m 28 weeks and I dont even look that far along. 
I wouldn’t worry.. your doctor hasn’t mentioned anything. So, you’re fine! 😊 I know.. wanting that beautiful round bump. I dont even have it. 😂 At least we aren’t too miserable with our stomach being in the way.

Answer

Don't you worry mama, the belly is gonna be poppin' in your 3rd trimester! You'll be amazed how quickly it grows.

Answer

Everyone is different, don’t let it get to you. When I was pregnant with my first I barely started showing at six months, and now with my pregnancy I’m six months and look HUGE. As long as your baby is strong and healthy, that’s all that matters.

Answer

I am in the exact same boat as you! My bump looks the same and I’ve gained the exact same number of pounds! My sister in law is also pregnant and three weeks behind me and she is much bigger than me so I was worried too but my baby is in the 60th percentile and healthy as can be so that’s all that matters to me now. I do feel like I’m missing out a little on the whole pregnancy experience and having people just know I’m pregnant without having to tell them, but oh well!

Answer

Looks fine to me! My weight fluctuates between only 1-3 lbs over my weight from my first prenatal appt at 9 weeks. I had lost 9lbs of weight from throwing up so much but gained it back. At 9 weeks I was 179, yesterday I weighed myself at only 180 and I am almost 27 weeks.
