small baby or just my body type.

I've been getting told that I need to gain more weight that I'm sickly looking and that my baby isn't getting the nutrients she needs by strangers and family.  I think I'm huge but that just from going from 122 lbs prepregnany to 143 lbs.  I'm getting sick of people telling me that I'm starving my baby.  Can someone please take a look at my pictures and tell me your opinion.

You look just fine. Don't listen to what everyone is saying to you. They aren't your doctor so what they say makes no difference.

Everyone thinks they r doctors for some reason. I get it all the time Smh. I'm 21weeks and 5days and most ppl still cant even tell I'm.pregnant. I eat a lot but so many ppl will tell me.how I need to eat more and will even go as far as watching me at family gatherings to c how much I'm.eatting. trust me follow what the real doctor says. As long as ur doctor says the baby is fine then so be it. For me the baby is healthy and right on target as of my last check up so I'm sticking to what I've been doing.

BTW whoever said u had to gain a million pounds just because u r pregnant. It's ok to be healthy and fit while carrying a healthy baby.
