Small bump 33 weeks?

Saw another post on here by a lady about having a small bump. I feel like mine is tiny at 33 weeks. When I lay down its almost flat and when I sit it is no longer 'bump' shaped. I never was particularly fit and I know its not due to good stomach muscles. Funnily enough my fundal height measurements were 4 weeks ahead from 24 weeks, then 3 ahead at 28 weeks. And now leveled out to one week ahead. Should I be concerned that I'm not growing? I don't have a midwife appointment until the 8th of Jan due to xmas.

Erm, with the greatest of respect m, that doesn't look like a particularly small bump. At 33 weeks you and your baby have a lot of growing left to do and you've been measuring ahead Confused
Not really sure what you are worried about?

I'm more concerned that my fundal height has only changed 2cm in 5 weeks and my bump doesn't look any different from what it did at about 28 weeks.

It doesn't really matter how your bump looks. What matters is the fundal height and even it's a crude measure at best. If midwife has any concerns she'll send you for a growth scan. Until then don't worry.

Just seen your other pic OP - I think you look fine!

Most people that 'don't know they are pregnant' till they give birth never 'grow a bump' so I wouldn't worry about it...
