Bump doesn't look like it's growing

I'm 30 weeks +2 and just don't feel like my bump is growing at all I have a decent size bump and do look 30 weeks but I have looked this big for about 3 weeks now and worried my baby isn't growing? Her movements and getting stronger and more painful ( around belly button area) and I have new added stretch marks on my sides of belly so does that mean the bump is getting bigger but I'm just not noticing it? Sorry I sound like a complete crank I understand but I suffer with awful anxiety and sometimes all I need is just to be told I'm being silly

When is your next widowed appointment? Perhaps give her a call for reassurance? It's likely it is growing an you can't tell I was like that but husband worked away for 5 days a week and used to tell me how much more I'd grown each week!

It will be growing, it is hard to tell day by day. I found that I seemed to suddenly get larger at certain points, but at other times didn’t change much over several weeks. Round about 30 weeks I also seemed to stay roughly the same size. At 36 weeks I suddenly looked much bigger. Also not everyone gets a huge bump, and many women don’t get much bigger until closer to the birth. If this is your first baby that is more likely, as things need to stretch .
