At first everyone was like "just wait until you're 28-30 weeks, you're going to blow up." Then it's 32-35 weeks and now it's supposedly 36-40 weeks lol. I'll wait I guess. I'm 35 weeks.

I am right there with you!! I am 37 weeks today and still nothing... have gained almost 20 lbs but I'm pretty sure it's all in my butt and thighs. ?

Just think about it this way: the smaller you are the easier it'll be to snap back. Lol. Plus although we're all uncomfortable at this point it's a lil less uncomfortable when you're smaller. I don't get big really either. This pregnancy is actually the biggest I've been.

I've gained 23-24 lbs. It keeps fluctuating. I think it all went to my love handles and boobs lol. But I'm fine with not getting much bigger, I already have a hellacious looking stretch mark by my belly button piercing. I would be fine without any more lol. But it is what it is.

I try to look at weight gained elsewhere as good fat storage for breastfeeding! ? It's all going to fly right off of you anyways, I'd bet. But labeling yourself as "small" will just give you a complex -- you and your baby are perfect! As Ina May Gaskin would say, "Your body is not a lemon," and they all come in different shapes/sizes, pregnant or not! Embrace yourself, girlfriend, we're almost done! ???

Everyone keeps telling me how huge I am for my first. My bump popped at 14wks and just keeps getting bigger. I'm so uncomfortable though. Your bump is cute!

My first I only gained 19lbs and was down 22lbs when I walked out the hospital door. I was able to wear my pre pregnancy jeans my entire pregnancy. Your abdominal muscles are very strong still with your first, especially if you were an active person beforehand. And your first is usually the smallest baby. They only get bigger from there haha. You might get a little bigger in the last month but not crazy huge. Enjoy it! I know I did with my first!

You look great! Don't worry about size. For my son I didn't even look pregnant just like I had a small beer belly. Then for my two daughters I feel huge. At my last appointment I was up 14 lbs but all on the belly. I actually lost a half a pound but I lost in my last trimester my last Pregnancy as well but had a 7 lb 8 ounce baby. My son was only 5 lbs 10 ounces. I'm hoping this one's not going to be a ten pounder.lol

i hid my first pregnancy from my whole family almost until the end. I never got big or "showed" this time i have a bumb but everyone says im small. I think its just how your body caries and how tight your muscles are.

I was huge with my first everyone said my baby boy was going to be big but he was only 5lbs 10oz. With this pregnancy opposite, small bump, she's growing on track. 32 weeks now, 4-8weeks to go.

oh and i had my belly button pierced too; that one stretch mark goes away and i was able to re-pierce within 6 months.

Islandmer, that's good to know about the stretch mark! I hope mine goes away. I'm sure either way it won't be super noticeable.
