Small bump = small baby?

Hi! Ftm here.. 36 weeks along and I look maybe 4/5 months pregnant! Does this mean my baby is gonna be small? I'm 5'9" and people don't believe I'm due in 29 days! Just curious if you had a small bump and what weight/length your baby was?

I'm due in two weeks and I am not nearly as big as I was with my first two. It is just baby's position as he is measuring big. Dr says he will likely be in the same 8-9 lb range my other two were..if there was something wrong, I am sure they would have caught it by now. Relax, you are at the end and you'll see no matter howuch babu weighs, he/she will be perfect just because they are yours. Good luck!

Oooh girl no. Im 35 wks and super tiny too. No one believes im due next month. But at 28 wks my baby measured at 30 wks in size. Dont worry. Im sure your baby is healthy and growing beautifully. Drs would have let you know if there was anything abnormal about your babys size. Dont stress over it. Congratulations on your baby !!

The size of the bump doesn't mean the size of the baby. I didn't show with my daughter the majority of my pregnancy. I started really showing my last 3 weeks. With my son this time I feel like a baby hippo. My daughter was average size at 7.8 pds and my son is right on track as well.
