SMALL BELLY (Vent)
My first kid, I had a very small belly. I hardly looked pregnant at 7-8 months. They thought he was SGA and I was induced at 37 weeks for my hypertension and he was only 4lbs 4oz, and very thin. I did have a hard time eating with him. But the OB showed no concerns until 35 weeks.
This pregnancy I popped early. I was so excited to have a belly. I've been eating unhealthy for the calories. Baby was 60% at 20 weeks! I went in for my 26 week check up, and Dr just says "there's no way she's 60%, eat more, and let's do a scan at 32 weeks." I was frankly pissed. Im bigger then I was with the last baby, im constantly snacking, and for some reason hes concerned. I felt mom shamed, like he thinks I'm not eating, as much as I tell him I am. Im feeling like he wasn't telling me something. Anyone else deal with being small?
