All along my pregnancy (now 33wks) i have been told 'wow you're so tiny' and amazed responses at how far along i am. Working in retail i get at least 3 customers everyday telling me this, and several friends who are due around the same time are sooo much bigger than me! On each of my midwife appointments i have mentioned it, to which they tell me i'm measuring right on, and it's just that i'm tall, etc.
Friends say it's a good thing that i'm 'all baby' and that most people would be jealous to look not huge.....
But as soon as i am reassured that all is fine, i get that niggly feeling that something must be wrong again. This was definately NOT helped by an article in the Herald Sun last week about a lady who was concerned that her bump was tiny and it turned out the baby was not growing properly and had to be delivered really early. That day i called the midwife in tears Again she checked my recorded measurements and the uterus is the right size, i'm just tall, etc.
So i'm really glad to hear that other's are in the same situation and i guess we are all just different in how we carry. Don't get me wrong- i'm very happy with pushing out a 6lb baby rather than a 10lb baby if that's what it's going to be, provided it's healthy!
Still, i wish everyone would just bugger off with their comments
I hear you!
