    I think your belly size looks just fine.Some people just dont know what they are talking about. I am still getting the same thing too: "you look small for 33 weeks"...even though my midwife says my belly size is just fine. Go with what your ob or midwife says, since they actually know.

    I dont know about the pain, but it would make sense for it to be stretching.

    People can be inconsiderate, but I guess they don't realise that what they say makes us think and worry!!!

    Another thing that annoys me that people do is work collegues. There are 2-3 that like to ask me every single day how I am feeling. I know they mean well, but I am getting a bit over the same question every day....I ain't sick, just pregnant!!! One of them, a guy, has no idea, says to me every day "how are you feeling, no sickness or whatever you get" and I keep telling him "no didn't have any of that and that is usually in first 12 weeks and I am at 16 weeks" but he keeps asking LOL. Its cute but I have a short temper so I tend to get crumpy.....is that bad?

    HI Floss,

    Thanks for putting the post up. I am about 2 weeks behind you and have been wondering a similar thing. I havn't gained any weight and I don't feel much different yet I too get little twinges. I just tell myself it's bubs shoving my organs around saying make way for me. If i don't get very big I'm going to try to think of it as a blessing, becuase my mum and my sister were huge. and my sis will be soo jealous, she already is that I havn't been very sick.
