Hello everyone, this is my pregnancy and I am 31+5 weeks. A lot of people have commented how small my bump is and how you would hardly know I was pregnant, it's made me a bit paranoid..just wondering if anyone can enlighten me if I'm carrying low or high or whatever lol. Thank you!!

I'm 30 weeks and in the same position even though scans are saying I'm carrying a big baby (3lb 7oz at 28 week scan). With my first DC he was 7lb 9 at 5 weeks early and I was still wearing pre pregnancy clothes, jeans etc - I think he was just far in my back! If your midwife isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry!!

Bump looks normal size to me! Smile

That's a fairly substantial bump, definitely bigger than I was at 36+ weeks, everybody is different. I don't see how they'd hardly know you're pregnant, it's very obvious!

You look pretty standard sized for 32 weeks. I'm 38 weeks and you're quite a bit bigger than me- been told I'm carrying small but baby has been measured and is pretty average sized.

I wouldn't worry, some people just expect all pregnant ladies to be huge or are remembering their bumps from 2nd or 3rd pregnancies rather than firsts.

Thank you for the reassurance, was really starting to worry but feel a bit better. Midwives have not said anything!

Your bump is a lovely size, don't listen to anyone else. Everyone grows differently!

Well if you don't look pregnant with that bump then my god I must be the size of the world cos I'm massive 🙈 ignore what people say some people just like to give us their opinions when they ain't wanted lol. Did you say this was your first pregnancy? Looks like a lovely bump to. Me xx
