currently 36w2d and my entire family has been telling me that my baby is gonna be small and both of us are unhealthy because i’m carrying small. i have a two year old son and i was bigger with him but not that much bigger. i still carried small and i was a lot more swollen.

my dad went so far as giving me premie sized clothes for my baby and laughed about it.

my doctor has told me that it’s my muscles keeping my belly from getting so big and that my baby is fine and growing appropriately. she said my baby is quite big, which is believable since my son was 8lbs 9oz.

i can feel that she’s big. she moves a lot and it feels like she has little to no room in there and most of her movements hurt from her knees and elbows.

i just wish they’d stop saying i don’t eat enough or i don’t eat at all just because they don’t see me eat. it doesn’t bother me but it’s very annoying.
