Too small?

[Hazeleyes024]

Okay, so this is my first pregnancy, but I seriously think I'm way too small. I'm 5'4 and my pre-preggo weight was 115, but I'm 28 weeks five days and I've only gained ten lbs and I measure only around 14 cms. Anybody else have this problem and do you think any problems will arise from it such as premature birth or something?

I'm 5'4 and my pre pregnancy weight was 98 lbs (102 with my second) and I delivered vaginally both times. My sister is exactly 5 foot and weighted 89 lbs when she got pregnant and has also delivered vaginally both times. One of my friends is 5'1 and 93 lbs and delivered a 9 lb baby boy. No joke. It doesn't matter how big you are since your body WILL adjust. It just matters that your public bone is wide enough. If they think that its not the doctors will let you know.

My pre pregnancy weight was 110 nd im now 126 so its not alot either. My doc says my babys doing fine tho nd very active.

For the heartburn my doctor recommended zantac 150 you take it two times a day and it works really good I'm 34 weeks 3 days and I haven't had heartburn since I started the medicine you can get it at almost any place that sells medicine for only like 8 dollars a box

Well if it was morning sickness I wouldnt worry, but starting my third trimester, yeah

I always wonder the same thing. Ill be 17 weeks in two days &' my pre pregnancy weight was 110 I'm 5' 7" . Went to the doc Monday I'm still 110 . Doc doesn't seem concerned but I still worry because I never have any morning sickness or anything that wuld make me not gain

Well I just weighed myself and since Tuesday I've lost like three lbs. Is that normal?

Don't feel bad...I'm just now turning 26+2... And at first I was only gaining 3 pounds every three weeks ..I had only gained 11 pounds over the whole five...but due to having to be on bed rest I put on seven more pounds lol...so now I weigh 127......it doesn't show anywhere because I'm still really small and fitting into all my pre pregnancy clothes....I look all of four months :/......I'm dude October.16..... But I have a feeling she's going to come earlier lol

Hi I have always measured really small too, with my previous pregnancy I was sent for a scan as they were worried about my size, she was 6lb 15, with this 1, I'm measuring a week and six days behind, I'm 30 wks. I'm 5'5" and slim. I feel like most of the weight has gone to my hips and back! Lol. I guess some of us are just good at hiding it! With my previous 2 I was 10 days late so I don't think being small necessarily means your baby will be premature. Good luck

[Hazeleyes024]

Oh wow I'm glad everythings better! But yeah I get heartburn a lot too!

Mine was October 8th then October 1st and now September 28... :) i am very excited but i haven't really had any problems other than heartburn really bad!! I went into preterm labor at 26 weeks :/ but now everything is great. i dont have any back pain yet..luckily

[Hazeleyes024]

Mines October 6 but I wish it was sooner! My back is killing me! What about you?

[ashdensmommy]

When is your due date? We are only days apart!! :) and everything worrys me too.

[Hazeleyes024]

Oops I meant 27 weeks but okay good! It was really worrying me!

[ashdensmommy]

I am the same as you! Exactly :) i was told to expect to deliver early but only because my uterus and baby are growing at different rates. i wouldnt worry much about it. the doctors will be able to let you know what to look out for and how your baby is growing. i know women way smaller than me who pushed out 9-10 lbs babies.
