Pregnancy Weight!

So I am 23 weeks & 2 days (6 months) and I've only gained 6 pounds. You can't even tell I'm pregnant. I barely have a pooch. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to like taking my vitamins and prenatals, exercising, eating healthy and so on. It kinda worries me that I'm so tiny but my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned at all. Should I be worried or am I just lucky?

I'm 38+2 and I've gained 12 lbs. But my belly is huge. I lost weight in the beginning. And have only gained weight in my belly.

I am 40 + 1 weeks and I lost almost 15 pounds in the beginning. Now I am back up to what I was before I got pregnant but I haven't gained anything. I am actually really excited because after I have her I will be breast feeding and my weight will be lower than it has been in 2 years

My coworkers were telling me at 5 weeks I was going to be huge because I was so bloated but now that bloating is just baby belly and there all shocked how I'm not huge yet lol

Give it another month I'm sure you will "pop" over night lol ... I'm 25 weeks today and I have a bump but its no where near the size of my bump with my first pregnancy when I was 25 weeks I know one of these days soon I'm going to wake up and be huge lol

Oh and do you think since I'm so small I'll go past my due date (march 6) or have a higher chance of a preme or am I just worried about nothing?
