With my first child I lost weight during the pregnancy instead of gaining and no one could tell I was pregnant. Even when I was full term I didn't look pregnant. I was carrying towards the back. I think everyone carries different and personally I was glad I didn't look like I was going to pop.

I'm at 30 weeks and when asked about my due date they tell me I'm small. I've stayed at 163 pounds in the last couple of months so I haven't gained much. I am getting sick of people saying I'm small too. One of these days I'll just say I'm not pregnant just to see what their reaction is and then tell them I'm joking.

I have gained 40-50 lbs with all my pregnancies but my bump is never as big as I see on some woman. I hold all my babies towards my back. You may hold yours that way too. I felt huge and uncomfortable but always heard from people how small I was. I wanted to hit them. Lol. You will be just fine.

Oh I get it all the time. Every day someone tells me how small I am. I get so sick of it honestly. Lol I thinkpeople ju st expect pregnant women to be huge and gain all kinds of weight. It seriously ddoesn't matter how big you look as long as your baby is moving plenty and your blood results and everything are fine. Every woman's body responds to pregnancy and weight gain differently.

I am 30 weeks and have gained 34 pounds so far. I kinda sorta look pregnant but can easily be mistaken for just getting fat lol. Other people I've seen have really round bellies and there's no way you can mistake that they're prego. My dr said everything looks perfect also.

I'm 35 weeks now. N the beginning of Sept my doctor told me I only gained 9 pounds so far... N I looked at her like she was crazy lol Bcus I felt like I gained more then that... N now I'm starting to put on more pounds n most people tell me that my belly still looks small for 35 weeks. So some woman just don't look as big as others. N my doctor told me that my baby is healthy n gaining weight n thats all that matters. So I'm sure u will start to gain more weight soon... :-)

Wow I mean I'm gaining a lot of weight but you can't tell and I look at other women who isn't even seven months and they look like they're ready to pop. Its nerve wreaking. But my baby moves a lot and is very active. I had a doctors appointment monday and her heart is beating strong my iron is good my sugar is good. I just dont know.
