Bump being smaller in the early days = smaller baby?

[JimmyChoo17]

Hi all

I am 17w 2days and have a small bump - very petite! But in tight clothes I now look pregant but can still hide in some clothes...

I am in no way petite normally mind lol!
I lost a bit of weight due to morning sickness and illness so my baby bump is now more apparent than my flab would have been...pity my butt and thighs never lost any!! [HMM]

anyway what I would like to know is for those who have HAD babies or are in the later stages...

does a small bump at my stage = a smaller baby?

I guess Im clutching at straws in the hope I wont land a 10 pounder 5 months down the line!

I was only 5lb2 at birth and my husband 6lb 6...not sure if there is any relevance to your own birth weights or whether early bump size can be used as an indicator?

My Mum was enormous when pg with me. Put on 5 stone, obviously pg from 10wks. I weighed 5lbs.

My sil has tiny, tiny bumps. Her smallest was 8lbs 12oz. Others MUCH bigger.

Means nowt I'm afraid.

doesnt mean a thing, im over 30 weeks with my 2nd child and im still petite still in size 8 clothes cant really tell im pregnant. however i can tell baby is not that small with his movements and also can feel parts of him which are bigger than 1st was. my 1st child i had a huge bump at 1st which seemed to settle down after 30 weeks he was born at 42 weeks weighing 6 and half pounds. its just impossible to tell from the size of your belly. also i was 2 week early and weighd 9ib 2oz so was quite big so dont think your own birth weight has much relevance either. its just how your baby grows im afraid :)

bgger! Ha ha.

As long as bubs is healthy and happy Im happy was just wishful thinking!! xx

I had no bump until at least 20 weeks, and it didn't get particularly huge at all.

DS was 10lb 4oz!!
