Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

Friday I will be 28 weeks, have gained a total of 12lbs and my belly is tiny. I don't mind it, but people are always so shocked when they ask how far along I am especially since this is my 3rd. For some reason, with each pregnancy I get small not bigger. When people makes comments it makes me so uncomfortable and I don't know what to say so I just say thanks.

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

i am having twins and everyone is always like you are so small (although i recently started getting bigger) for twins. The babies weights are great so i just say..i look small but they are nice and big

everyone's bodies are different!

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

Don't feel bad - people have no filters - I think I am carrying normal and people are always saying I am huge, but I am really not
As long as your Dr is happy with you then that is all that matters!!
Plus you now just have less weight to drop at the end

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

I don't mind when people say it - because I feel huge even though I am not totally huge!! I have gained less this pregnancy than my other 2 pregnancies which I am happy for and don't think my belly is small at all but people keep telliing me it is. I just say thanks b/c I feel huge and move on. Nothign to feel bad about!

I am 31 weeks and maybe up just over 15lbs. I just had a big weight gain in the last 2-3 weeks. I do feel like I have gained most of the weight in my face (outside the belly of course)...I hate looking in a mirror!!!

ME! I just look extra fat! I have total bump envy :(

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

It's hard! I'm 24 weeks and up 7lbs, I gained 5lbs this month. Small victory for me. I think I just got a bump in the last 2-3 weeks. I feel like everyone has something to say about it. I'm not eating enough, it can't be normal to be that small, you can't be that far along. I've learned to let it go. My doctor was much happier with my weight gain this past month so I figured as long as he is happy, I'm fine with it.

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

I'm 26 weeks and have gained about 10 pounds but I am still carrying small. Everyone has something to say about it. I guess people thought I was going to blow-up.

It bothered me for a little while, but I just started taking it as a compliment. I was average build pre-pregnancy so people never commented on me looking "little". So now when someone has something to say about it I say "thanks, this is the first time in my life people tell me I am small/little and the baby is right on track too!"

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

i carried small my whole pregnancy! i was so sick of everyone saying "oh your ___ months? it looks like you are 2 months pregnant!"

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

I think we have the same due date and I have gained the exact same amount so far, my belly is small and everyone comments about it....I eat like a horse so I don't know why I'm not bigger...

I said this to one girl when she told me my belly was small " Yeah, my little boy is good to his mommy already" and she said awww how cute

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

I am carrying tiny and am getting annoyed by the comments, too. I guess it's better than, "You are huge!", right?

Re: Anyone carrying small and feel uncomfortable about it?

Im 33 weeks and carrying small. I hate the comments especially since it is my first pregnancy and it makes me nervous. A girl I work with is also pregnant and her due date is only 4 days away from mine and people make comments like i don't even look pregnant compared to her. Is that supposed to make me feel good????!!! Cause it doesn't!
