No not necessarily ... Your baby could be sitting really far back, my friend is 33 wks and she literally looks like she's just got a beer gut but the baby is measuring normal!

Everyone says I look so small. I'm due in 3 weeks and people are always shocked when I tell them that. I had an ultrasound Tuesday and they estimated my little man to be 6 lbs 2 oz and my doctor said she didn't think he would be so big because I'm so small. I don't feel small though...

I have a super small belly I'm 32 weeks. And every single appt my baby measures exactly on point. I thought i was gonna have a small baby because of my little bump but apparently everyone carries differently :)

Omg this is the same thing with me...I'm 5"9 and weighed 125 before I got pregnant. Every tells me I look 5 months and I'm 8, I asked my doctor he says my baby boy is healthy and normal sized. I was told it is because I was so tiny in the stomach before that I'm just all baby! Lol

My Co worker and I ate 4 wks apart and I look bigger then her but she is 4 wks Inhead of me but now that she is 35 wks, she has really gotten big. Itreally depends on the women.with my other 2 pregnancies I looked big but I had my daughter at 4.7 lbs and my son was 5.10 and im 31 wks and im curious to know what she is going to weigh.

It depends on the person and the body type.. But baby will do most of the growing in the third trimester :)

I didnt even show at 20weeks ur fine, im 26 now and everyones noticing now. Plenty time enjoy it :-) my first baby was only 5lb14 and he was full term i think its because im just over 5ft tall and about 9st pre pregnancy

I'm little and I'm 26 wks and some days, with my second boy, and I know when I'm around 7 months that's when he really he is going to pop out, so just wait shortly you are going to be running into everything when you belly gets bigger!! Lol

You  have plenty of time to grow my dear. I know lots of women that didn't start growing outwards in their bump until their seventh or eigth month.

Most women are different. My cousin is almost ready to pop and she looks 6 months and she said the baby already weighs 7 lbs.  But I wouldn't know I'm 12 weeks with my first. I hope I don't get to big I'm only 4'9 and weighed 100 pre pregnancy
