Size of belly indication of baby size?!

Ditto Alan!! I didn't look at all like what i actually had with any 5 of my pregnancies!! My sister and I were pregnant together for my 5th and her 1st. She was MASSIVE, and I was average, both built slender before falling pregnant. She had a 6 pounder, mine.... almost 9 pounder!!

I think people say things like that because they just don't know what else to say kwim? Drive you nuts but they just can't not say anything so they just say the first stupid thing that pops into their heads i reckon LOL.

Seriously, if you saw me waddling towards you when I was 40wks pg with Alister, you'd have thought I had a 15 pound baby in there - I was HUGE! instead he was just over 10lb LOL.

I'm the mistress of self-delusion so convinced myself that I wasn't very big at all. I have since seen photos of myself and I was MASSIVE tummy-wise but had only put on 6kg. DD was 8lb 10oz and my ob was spot on (just from a feel, no scan).

Oh, and what really peed me off was that everyone (including me) thought I was having a boy. It was only a couple of people with the really whacky theories who thought I was having a girl. And yeah, the whackos were right!

I was told I was both teeny and massive in the same day.......

Same as me! I was alot smaller than the other girls in my ante natal class, they all thought I would be one of the "later due dates" in the class & I was actually third from the first due!

My belly was quite small (depending on the angle I think too!) & I had a 8lb 13oz baby!

All pregnant bellies are beautiful no matter what the size... alot of people just get jealous & say something "mean" to make themselves feel better (eg "wow you're huge!)
