Tiny bump 30 weeks

[MooreLew]

Anyone else got a really small bump? I literally have no bump when I lie down. Apparently fundal height not grown in a few weeks, but scan last week showed baby in normal limits for weight etc. Not a big mover and I have pre eclampsia so I can't help but feel paranoid! Also this is second baby, first baby I was huge.

I’ve got a bump, but not as big as I thought I would at 31 weeks. That said a girl I know gave birth at 38 weeks in August and she posted a pic to Instagram at 34 weeks and her bump looked like what I would expect to see at 12 weeks. Her baby was fine and was about 7 pounds. I think it all depends where baby is. If they have told you baby is in the normal limits I wouldn’t worry.

My bump wasn't much bigger than yours at 30wks, it almost grew at mass speed from 32-38wks!

This is me at almost 30 weeks. Iv always Been a little bit paranoid at having a smaller bump as a lot of people make comments. According to a private scan she's on the 50th centile though 😊

I’m at 28 weeks and my bump is definitely smaller than yours. I’m also paranoid as everyone comments on how small I am, and I’m quite a ...’sturdy’ frame normally so my family get huge when they’re pregnant. But I’m measuring 50th percentile at the midwifes appointments and everything I’ve read says small bump means nothing. So I would pass the wisdom on (that I question daily myself) that size doesn’t matter!

Oh just to add... at midwife apps I'm on 10th centile (just about!) but actual scan showed 50th so not to worry about external size 😊

I didn't get a noticeable bump with my second until 36 weeks!
Bump size doesn't mean anything as long as baby is fine!

I’m in a similar position, I was huge with my first baby but now at 26 weeks this pregnancy I’m much smaller. I have a growth scan at 32 weeks but I saw the midwife last week and she wasn’t concerned.

I'd be more concerned about the pre eclampsia . Hope that's being closely monitored as it can slow growth rate.

I was tiny with my first and had to have growth scans - she came 2 weeks early at 6lb 9oz totally fine. I barely showed until 28w, probably similar bump to you.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Definitely made me feel a lot better. I suppose every pregnancy is difference and I shouldn't compare this to the last one. I'm only 5 foot 2 and was a size 10 before pregnancy so I just don't know where baby is hiding! @3rdtimemomma you have a lovely bump! I hate the nasty comments, I think people they're being nice by saying we're small, but it just makes me paranoid!

@campion I'm being seen twice a week for bloods, blood pressure and checks. It's mild atm and have had a recent scan which was all good!

@MooreLew yeah it definitely puts a little bit of anxiety there! Well it does for me anyway!

I'm 5ft 8 and was a size 8/10 pre pregnancy... I just put it down to being tall! Iv always looked smaller pregnant but had decent sized babies!

It's such a unique thing! Everyone just carries so different and smaller bumps as we know can produce a 9lb baby and a larger bump a 6lb baby! It's just so unpredictable! 😊
