Baby bump stopped growing

[julia2001]

i'm 24 weeks pregnant and i first got a tiny baby bump at 18-20 weeks but ever since then it hasn't actually grown i've been measuring it and taking pictures it's the same. i'm starting to get worried is this normal? its only tiny aswell.

If your midwife is happy, I wouldn't worry. Bump measurements are notoriously unreliable. Are you a FTM? If so, you probably still have stomach muscles. Eventually they'll go and you'll feel like you've doubled in size!

i haven't been to the midwife since my 20 weeks scan. all appointments were cancelled and thanks😊

Everyone is different.

I’m currently 26 weeks with my first pregnancy - very small bump (despite being quite fat this time). I haven’t had a big bump in any of my pregnancies.

The previous two I’ve let myself get worried by the “OMG you are tiny, is the baby small?” Comments. This time, I won’t worry!

Please don’t stress over it.

Just to give an example from the other side, I had a small bump through pregnancy which I was constantly assured was fine until 39 weeks when there was a massive panic and I was induced and ended up having a EMC for my boy who was 5lbs.
It turned out my midwife had made a mistake when writing the bump measurements down.
I wouldn't stress over it as I'm sure more often than not having a small bump isn't cause for worry but if you are concerned then there's no harm mentioning it to your midwife and talking it over with them.

I’ve been in more or less the same position, I don’t think my bumps grown since I was 26-7 weeks and 31 weeks now. Midwife wasn’t worried at all so I paid for a private scan and baby is actually coming in in the 80th percentile, which was reassuring. It seems it’s just my stomach muscles holding her in at the moment! They often go through little spurts as well, so you might notice a difference in a few weeks.
I’m really sorry to hear your appointments with your midwife have been cancelled, mine was the same until 28 weeks. Are you able to call your midwife team on the phone?

When I was pregnant my bump seemed to stay the same until it 'popped' two or three times and got bigger over night. That's what it felt like anyway, no gradual increase, although I'm sure there was.

I had 2 friends who were slim and had no bumps. No exaggeration you would never know they were Pregnant, they both had 6lb babies and were fine. Everyone carries differently, try not to worry xx

My bump hasn't grown in 4 weeks either, I've also been worried (I'm currently at 22 weeks). But the baby was quite big at my 20 week scan and I can feel him kick loads so I hope it's okay. I'm also a FTM!

I went through weeks where the bump stayed the same then would have a sudden growth spurt.
I'm currently 29 weeks and had my bump measured by the midwife for the first time this week and it's exactly on the 50th centile.
