[Mama2Zipporah]

I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and my family complains that I'm not showing enough and always tells people I'm "starving" my baby I mean I can feel howbig she is in my belly but im just not as big as a house like my family says I should be I'm irritated and confused I need some advice

[Mama2Zipporah]

I mean I eat when im hungry and even when I'm not it just really makes me mad because everyone is different its mostly my aunt because she got really fat after her pregnancyand I feel as if she wants me to be miserable like her but there baby is healthy and growing like she should.Shes just not going to be a 10+ pound baby I mean her father is small so it could be his gene that she's taking

That's so stupid for someone to say to you! Everyone is diffrent. I'm 37 weeks (2nd baby) and I didn't start showing until about 25 weeks. Even now I only look like I'm about 30. Don't listen to what people are saying.   And if you're really concerned then talk to a doctor.

At the beginning i didnt eat cause i wasnt hungry. Lost 13lbs.. everyone told me to eat more and tried making me eat. My doctor said my baby was fine and told me to eat when im hungry, dont eat just to eat..

My fam does that too because im 37 weeks and my belly looks only abt 29 weeks. Everyones like well I was huge I think good for you lol I cant help how big my belly is . I just ignore them and tell them that the docs not worried and im measuring right on schedule.

It all depends on the.capacity you have inside

I was getting the same treatment I actually had to start bringing them with me to apts for them to stop they had to hear the doc say they babies fine but I'm not a big person I've never been neither is the child's father so for them to think I will be huge with a giant baby was aggravating enough two little ppl won't have a 10 lbs baby I'm sure

Your belly grows alot in the last month i look like im having twins lol people.though i was ready to pop at 7 months so.id always hear "your so big" "are you that its.just one"

If your doctor isn't concerned, you shouldn't be. I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until 28 weeks. I'm 35 weeks now and grew exponentially in the last 4 weeks.
If my family had told me I wasn't "big enough", I probably would have told them to shut up if they every wanted to see the baby. (I hold grudges for the longest,  and they know it).

My step-mom-in-law is exactly the same, she keeps telling me I need to eat more because the baby is 'hungry' so baby won't grow properly! And that's why I'm not showing as much as other people (I'm 32+4). My midwife says the baby is perfectly healthy and she's not worried about my smaller bump. So my advice is unless your doc is concerned ignore them and don't worry :)

Im 34 weeks and ppl think that im like 5 or 6 months. I love the look on their face when I tell them im due next month. Some ppl Just carry small.. you will prob get your belly your last month
