Too small?

Question

I feel way too small for 33 weeks, and my stomach looks nearly flat when I use my abdominal muscles to get up.. Idk why... But I'm starting to worry. And I feel if I were to bring it up to my doctor she'll just say "you're fine". Don't say "find another doctor" because she's been my doctor since I've been a baby and I live in a tiny town so I don't have many choices. It's just I feel as if she's too small, and I've felt this way for a couple months but am seriously afraid to say anything to my doctor without her brushing it off.

Answer

The size of your outside belly doesn't always indicate or reflect the size of your uterus inside. If they're measuring your fundal height and it all checks out then they wouldn't be worried. It sounds like you're not being seen by an ob/gyn though, if you've seen him/her since you were young it sounds more like a family physician. So, that might be something to consider if you are wanting a second opinion.

Answer

Don't worry so much! I wish my belly would be small at 33w, everyone is different! Good luck!

Answer

If your OB/MW isn't concerned, then I wouldn't worry. However if you're truly stressed about it, just be honest with your OB/MW. Just tell her how you feel & I'm sure she can give you some comfort/guidance.
