I'm 28 weeks + 1 into my first pregnancy and apparently my bump is really small, even though it feels really big to me.
I attended a wedding this weekend just gone, and pretty much everyone I spoke to told me that I was really small for 28 weeks. A lot of them were shocked when I said I would be full term in about 9 weeks.
I've still got my innie belly button, and my weight gain has been around 2 stone, which is fine according to my midwife. Baby's size is fine, his heartbeat healthy, he squirms and kicks a fair amount - so I don't think that my small bump is impacting his health in anyway. I don't really have too many pregnancy ails, mainly just fatigue, heartburn and the occasional bit of nausea.
It just makes me feel a bit like something might be wrong whenever someone tells me that they were massive at 28 weeks. Is it the norm to be fairly big around this time?

How big is your bump?

People are always either going to say you're massive or you're too small. I'm 25 weeks and was at a wedding on sat as well, everyone was telling me I was huge 
I wouldn't worry what people say, they don't have a clue what they're on about. If your midwife is happy that's the main thing.
As many others have said before, I had exactly the same situation with my first pregnancy. Even the same comments of 'are you sure there's a baby in there'.
At my 25 weeks midwife appt she was a bit concerned with my bump measuring small and so I was sent for an extra scan, all was absolutely fine. Bump 'measured small' (which is a very crude way to gauge actually) throughout my pregnancy and DS was perfectly healthy and although on the small side (for weight, not length) all was well. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with DC2 and the comments have already started again. I am quite tall and have a long body so babies just have room without having to pop out 
Try not to worry, if your midwife is at all concerned she will send you for an extra scan and even then it is unlikely to be an issue.
Thank you all for the reassurance 
It does get to me a little bit. There's enough worry during a pregnancy as it is without the bump anxiety.
People really do like to make their comments whilst you are pregnant, don't they?
You would not take random medical advice from people you meet at a wedding about anythimg else so just go with whatever your midwife says. I have put on four stone 
with a baby who is measuring big, no medical concerns just a chunky baby and at 39 weeks my tummy button is just becoming an outie.
