    Sooo many things can influence the size of your bump -
    The tightness of your tummy muscles, whether your uterus tilts forward or sits deep within your abdominal cavity, how much amniotic fluid you have, the list goes on.
    Don't worry sweetie, you will be a perfect 29 weeks size for you.

    I got the opposite, so just shows idiots will comment regardless, they just can't help themselves. Unfortunately it doesnt stop

    all the way thru my pregnancy people were saying i was little, in the last few weeks people were telling me i would go late for sure as i hadn't dropped or whatever (i started to not listen i just heard blah blah lol) they also said i'd be lucky if my baby was 6 pound and how good the birth would be with a little bub. (since when is any birth easy lol)
    Well the truth was i did not go late (1 day late doesn't count) and my DS was 8pound 8 so not exactly small.
    The moral of my little story hun is try not to let it bother you, your body will be growing your baby perfectly and i'm sure your dates won't be mixed up.
    Good luck all the best for the rest of your pregnancy xxx

    Please don't stress yourself, everyone is different, my entire pregnancy with Ava i looked tiny, i am quite tall so lots of room to hide but she was just a small baby 6lb 11oz.

    I am now pregnant with #2 and am 19wks today and i am prob bigger now than i was 3/4 of the way through with Ava.

    Enjoy your pregnancy and your beautiful belly (no matter what size) and don't stress about other people.

    I was told by a twit where I worked during my first pg, "gee, you're so small - are you sure the baby's ok?"... she's lucky I was working on 'zen' and didn't deck her! Not that I believed there could be anything wrong, but maybe to reboot her 'filter' so that she could use it next time she felt like opening her mouth to someone who might be a hell of a lot more sensitive than I...
    Most people I'm interacting with this pregnancy know me enough now to keep quiet. No-one surprised that I'm going homebirth this time and few people are brave enough to question me on how I'm going about this pregnancy
    Still, it's hideously annoying when people make dumb@rse comments. Filters on, please people!!

    I have a small belly this time around compared to my previous pregnancies and most people look shocked when I tell them I have a week to go, but our baby is fine and our dates are fine .

    Re: comments - everyone has an opinion! DH & I the other day commented on how my tummy has dropped, then the next day another mum I was speaking to said I won't be going into labour soon because my belly is still high . A couple of days after that a midwife commented that my belly was nice & low and the baby is ready to come out any day now - so at least DH & I know what we are talking about LOL!

    Yup *sighs* it can grate on ones nerves.
    I get told im huge.. i get told im tiny.
    I happen to think im quite small for almost 30 weeks.
    Plus who cares what everyone else thinks? as long as the doc is happy with the way you are then it doesnt matter
