Small bumps

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 🙄) as long as your midwife is happy, there's no reason to be concerned ♥️

Honestly people need to shut up on commenting on women’s bumps (actually bodies in general). Humans come in all different sizes and shapes and and so does pregnancy bellies. Please don’t let it get to you. There’s 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. 😂 the size of your belly doesn’t 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 someone’s body. 🫶🏼

Bump size is influenced by sooooo many factors. Ignore peoples comments you can’t win, I have a massive bump and am always asked ‘you sure there’s not twins in there’ 🙄

As long as your midwives are happy with babies growth I wouldn’t 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 🙄 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!!! Don’t panic at all, if something is wrong someone will tell you, it’s more than likely baby is just sitting further back and therefore you’re not getting much of a bump! You’re doing great ❤️

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

I’m 36 weeks and have had a very small bump most of my pregnancy, people even still tell me now I don’t look as far along as I am. Only had one genuine scare where I had 2 midwife appointments quite close together and they were concerned bump hadn’t grown so they sent me for a scan - but outcome of that was that baby is fine and right where they should be and they have been ever since!

Everyone’s body is different like others have said. It’s so unfair people feel like they can comment on your body just because you’re pregnant! Just focus on what midwives and your scans say but I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about xx

I didn't bump until 32 weeks. Didn't tell anyone I was pregnant because of a late miscarriage last time. When I left work at 37 weeks, my colleagues asked where I was going. When I replied I was "having a baby in two weeks" (planned c section) they couldn't believe it. Mine was apparently laying a certain way, which made my bump small. I really wouldn't worry 👍
