Im 9 months pregnant. People argue with me that I "cant be 9 months, im too small" Im just like, well I am 9 months,  I've had to go through everything,  and even if I dont look it-i feel it!
It used to bother me a lot more because it made me worried that my baby wasnt growing, now it just makes me angry, like mind your own business!

My experience is a bit different, but it shows how everyone views pregnant bellies differently. I'm 18 weeks and showing a lot. On the same day I was told by one women (no children) that I look like I'm having twins. Another guy (father of 3) told me to wait until I'm 5 months pregnant. That's when I'll really start looking pregnant.
One said I look big for one baby and the other that I look normal for being 4 months.

Lol beach whale . I'm 31 weeks and barely starting to show. I mean I can tell I'm pregnant but every week it's more obvious. It took me long to start showing. I'm still small for 31 weeks. It's normal but I do understand you. It's annoying. Although I take it as a compliment sometimes but sometimes they make me feel fat like I only look fat!

People are dumb. 1st of all some babies sit farther back,  2nd your first pregnancy you don't show as much because your body is still adjusting to being stretched out. 3rd by week 22 you may not have gained more than a few pounds, just because it's normal to sew women gain 30 or more pounds during pregnancy doesn't mean it's ideal. Your fine. There's nothing wrong with you or your baby,  as long as your baby is gaining weight and growing it doesn't matter how big you appear.
