I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before š«

As long as your midwife and checks come back positive try not and worry about other peoples comments. Everyone and every pregnancy is different. With my eldest my bump was tiny but he came out 7ib 15oz and long š my youngest I was huge, my bump was almost twice the size as my eldest and he was a 9 pounder

Someone I know her bump at 37 weeks was the same size as mine at 19 weeks, her baby was born weighing 8lb 7oz! I'm actually terrified because I'm now 33 weeks and huge!

My hairdresser has had three babies and even at full term you can't see her bump, she just looked bloated.
Most people pop in their third trimester, I thought I had a small bump and my mum kept telling me I was massive (thanks mum š) as long as your midwife is happy, there's no reason to be concerned ā„ļø

Honestly people need to shut up on commenting on womenās bumps (actually bodies in general). Humans come in all different sizes and shapes and and so does pregnancy bellies. Please donāt let it get to you. Thereās nothing wrong with a small bump!! I had a super small bump with my first and gave birth to a 3,5 kg - 60 cm baby. Absolutely micro giant. š the size of your belly doesnāt determine the size of your baby at all.
Also what I do when I get comments I just comment back (to non pregnant women) on their body to make them feel equally uncomfortable and hopefully they reconsider their behaviour for next time they time they want to comment on someoneās body. š«¶š¼

Bump size is influenced by sooooo many factors. Ignore peoples comments you canāt win, I have a massive bump and am always asked āyou sure thereās not twins in thereā š
As long as your midwives are happy with babies growth I wouldnāt be concerned by peoples unnecessary comments x
Thank you so much ladies these messages have made me feel much better about it. I will see what my midwife says in 3 weeks when I go for my next one.
People honestly š and its my first pregnancy so literally have no clue. Its crazy how much people want to put the fear in you isnt it
Thank you fir positive stories xx

Obviously if your midwife isnt concerned then dont worry. Everyone carries differently. Baby is growing how they should be.
I had a small bump, I am 5ft so probably why. And had a small baby, they had no concerns over my bump. And baby was born healthy, preterm but healthy

Don't panic! My bump was really small until the last trimester...then all of sudden it was growing DAILY. Be patient and ignore everyone apart from the midwifes and the doctors. They will tell you if something is wrong.

I had a really small bump and my midwife kept referring me for growth scans. Baby was perfect!
She was born at 36+2, 6lb9oz, and extremely healthy!!! Donāt panic at all, if something is wrong someone will tell you, itās more than likely baby is just sitting further back and therefore youāre not getting much of a bump! Youāre doing great ā¤ļø

I was huge but ended up having a 6lb 12oz baby haha, she was tiny compared to now

I had a tiny bump until the very last couple of weeks but my girl was 5lb2oz so she was tiny but she was still healthy
