Not much of a belly

I'm 27 weeks today with my first baby. The doctors told me he was healthy but was a smaller baby. Could that be the reason I'm not showing that much . Has anyone else been this far along and not have that big of a belly?

No, nobody should be worried about it.. As long as you're eating and the baby is getting his or her nutrients you are fine.. I am 39 weeks 1 day look like I'm 5 months.. All the weight I gained is literally all baby and my butt and thighs grew a little. Doc says baby is about 6 and a half pounds... So guaranteed all the weight you have been gaining is directly in the baby:)

Im 26 weeks and not showing at all, I still look about the same when I started in my weight in pregnancy. Ive gained only about five pounds total, in the beginning about the first five months I would eat and drink very healthy because this is my first pregnancy and wanted to do it right. Then when I started noticing my weight more I started eating still healthy but a bit of junk food also and still not showing. Should I be worried at all my dr says every pregnancy is different but im worried about it

Everybody is different, for my daughter she was my first pregnancy and the doctors told me that she was healthy just small because i wasnt showing, no joke litterally when i was 9 months it looked like i was 3 months nobody believed me that i was gonna give birth the next day and she was a big baby she was long and weighted 6 pounds, as long as your baby is healthy i think thats all that matters

Everyone shows different  and each baby is different.  I wouldn't worry. I have friends who never looked pregnant til they were ready to pop, and even then you thought loke 4 months, not 9..
