Should I be worried?

[Louise87]

Hi every1 I'm a little concerned I'm 19 weeks and only have a very small bump just looks like I'm a bit chuby should this be bigger at this point?

[DrFluffy]

I didn't have anything til I hit 22 weeks'. I felt like a right fraud!!

Now, I mostly feel like a beached whale!

[Louise87]

Ok I won't worry to much then every1 just keeps lookin at me is disbeleef when I say I'm pregnant!

Same here no bump until 25 weeks even now some people look at me weird but yes I say I'm almost 33 weeks pregnant. Nothing to worry about Hun plus you,ll get to see baba at 20 week scan for total reassurance

[Chipper]

Don't panic everyone is different. My friend was quite small and even when she was 37 weeks people thought she'd had the baby! You'll be having your 20 week scan soon I guess, so you'll get a good look at your baby.

[Louise87]

Yeah got my scan in a week and a half can't wait to put my mind at ease!

Hey I'm 27 weeks and my bumps barely noticeable but measured perfectly when I saw midwife last week

[Louise87]

Ow that's good ill try not to worry then just been to the hairdressers n she's 24 weeks and massive so I was thinkin there mite be something wrong with me!

I'm the opposite, I am huge for 15 weeks, it's the 'really, only 15 weeks..' that annoys me, grrrrrrr. What I'm saying is we all come in many different sizes and we are all normal! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

i am 22 weeks and people say ahh ur not tht big r u, i feel big but i guess everyones bodies r different, plenty of time yet to turn into a hippo

I can't remember how far along I was, but much farther along than 19 weeks, when a woman at my work told me that, "You don't even look that pregnant. You could easily just be fat!" From her tone of voice and the fact that I've never done anything to offend her, I gathered that was supposed to be some sort of compliment, but of course it didn't leave me feeling particularly body-confident %-) Just ignore anything anyone says about your bump or lack thereof. I don't know why people think it's acceptable to offer their completely unsolicited opinions of pregnant women's body shapes anyway...
