carrying small

[mommyofaria]

Hello everyone....I'm exactly six months two days and I'm worried that my belly is still quite small....I just recently started showing and coming out around 21 weeks or so....is anyone else carrying or has carried small? Was your baby small or did you have a big one? Also I'm short so I'm carrying low...like down to my va jj low lol...sorry that's the only way I knew to explain it..my doctor says I'm healthy and I have a healthy happy baby.... I also eat a lot.....should I be worried?

I was really small.  At full term I looked at most the 'normal' 7 months pregnant.  I had a 8lb 8oz(4kg) baby who was 20inchs(51cm).  As long as you are eating healthily you will both be fine.  The majority of you weight gain will be in the third trimester anyway.  Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy :)

No worries! I'm 21 weeks and I just started showing. I'm only 4"11 and my baby boy is healthy as can be:) I had my first ultrasound at 19 weeks 1 day, because I didnt even know I was lregnant until I had a CAT scan ro get back surgery, so that I could ship off to basics already Lol. My ship date was July 3rd, got medically discharged because of a lipoma in my back, and found out 2 days after discharge that I'm pregnant Lol But my baby was a heslthy 10 ounces, and he had all fingers and toes! I've only gained two pounds so far, and that had me worried, but my doctor told me its not a big deal, just eat right.

No you should not be worried because I was small with my daughter and she weighed 6lbs 12.8oz and this time I am having a little boy and I am still small at almost 26 weeks. :)

I'm due in 23 days & I look like I'm 5 or 6 months lol. Ever since day one my baby's been healthy and growing & measuring right on track. So I'm not too worried about it

No. How you carry and how big you are is irrelevant. It doesn't mean baby is small or unhealthy - at 39 weeks I hardly looked pregnant and few believed I was as far as I was. I looked maybe 5 months? My daughter was born 6 pounds 12 ounces and 20 inches long.
