I'm 33 weeks with my first and I've had quite a few people say that I am 'tiny' for this stage in my pregnancy. My pre-pregnancy BMI was 20 so I've always been pretty slim, but I have put on just over 3 stone so far, which I put down to the fact if I don't eat pretty much constantly I feel really sick. I am 5'10 and have what I'd call a medium frame, so I think it might just be that I carry my weight evenly and therefore don't look huge. My bump has been measured 3 times by the MW so far and the first two it came back right on the average line and the last time it slipped slightly under average but not so much she was concerned.
Part of me thinks it's better than when people were commenting on how big I was (which was just bloat and not bump), but part of me worries a bit that he's not growing properly.
This isn't a thread to slag people off for commenting on the size of your bump, because as annoying as it is, I have come to realise it's just part of pregnancy and most people don't mean any harm by it. Rather, I wanted to know how it makes you feel and whether it worries you?
