Is a breech bump smaller?

Because I've been told my baby is really tiny (below 3rd centile abdominal circumference) I've started obsessing over the size of my bump. I had a very small bump with my first baby, who was also breech till the end, but was also quite small (5.5 pounds), I've just spent the two weeks since my last scan praying for my bump to grow so I at least feel the baby's growing, and it's still small. I was wondering if the fact that this one is breech too is responsible for the fact that I have small bumps, or if I just have tiny bumps because I have tiny babies. Sorry if that makes no sense. Last time around, a week before birth, a friend who hadn't seen me in a while looked at the bump and said 'oh, so you're half way through your pregnancy now!'.

DD was breech and I had the biggest bump out of my pregnancies with her so I don't think they are smaller.

Oh, well I'll scratch that theory off, then. Thanks anyway!

mine is breech and very neat, but also very high, due to the position it's in.

I would say it's not as big as my last 2 pregnancies, but i think that is more to do with running round after 2 boys and putting on less weight, also this one's a girl, so could make a difference?

My baby is transverse, up high and I have an enormous bump, well it seems enormous compared to when I was pregnant with DD.

My bump was small and DS was undiagnosed breech, but was on the 100th centile for length when he was born.

Dd was breech, my bump was huge, the consultant said to me, 'this is a very big baby'.

She was 6lb 14oz.

My breech bump was a neat little ball but my baby was almost transverse with just one foot down. Now she's turned my bump is bigger and a more normal shape.

Visually, MWs estimate that it is 33 weeks and are amazed when it measures 38
