Is my belly too small for 30 weeks?

I have been hearing a lot lately that my belly is way too small for me to be as far along as I am. What do you ladies think?  I look really tired in this pic.

Thanks ladies, I guess I just thought I would be like my mom, she got huge with all 3 of hers. And I gained up to 140 lbs with DD1 where my pre-preg weight was 98. with this one I have just 2 12 ounces a day and am just 115 lbs pre-preg weight is the same as DD1.

I voted 'just right' because each woman and each bump is uniquely different. You honestly don't look too small whatsoever. You are definitely "with child".

you look great! I am sure if you were measuring small your Dr would have mentioned it. No pregnancy is the same and every women carries differently. You are just right.

my sister informed me today that I am HUGE when I am actually smaller than with my first. People say dumb things.

I had my friends obgyn tell me that my baby must be small because he guessed I was 30 weeks when I was 36 weeks. You're belly is the right size for YOU. My daughter was born and was 1 oz less than 7 lbs.

I went to the bank today and when i told the clerk i was 6 months along she gasped and said i was so little. I simply replied "you should see me naked!" and she started laughing. But as long as your ob says your fine i wouldnt worry. Every bump is beautiful be it big or small!

I voted just right....and it is...just right for YOU. Every pregnancy is different and you will show bigger or smaller depending on THAT pregnancy.  Don't worry about what other people say...not everyone gets HUGE, but then again some people do.  Out of 6 full term pregnancies EVERY ONE of mine was different...My bump was NEVER the same...with a few I got HUGE and with others it was barely noticeable.  What matters is that BABY is healthy and growing right.

So many women think they're too small or too big, and there is no set size you have to be. Your belly is perfect for you and your baby. Remember all women carry in their own way. When I went to deliver at 39 weeks, I looked like I was 4 months along. Ignore what others say. As long as baby is growing there's no problem.

All women carry babies differently.  I think you look great.  A friend of mine looked like I do now (at 6 months) when she was almost to her due date.  Some people gain 20 lbs and others put on like 80.  The good thing is you'll have less weight to lose!  :-)

I am also 30 weeks and my Bump s bigger then yours,  My sister is due 3 days before me and hers is about the same as yours.   I think every woman and baby is different.
I am really tired of people saying how big i am,  One even asked if i had twins in there.  I have only gained 8 Kilo's (17 pounds).   My Obstetrician has said i am right on track for size and weight.  
Don't listen to what people say,  You Docs/Midwife will let you know.
