Carrying small at the end...

Is anyone else carrying very small and at the end? Would you mind posting pictures? I'm about 37 weeks and everyone tells me i look only about 6 months. I know the baby is on the smaller side, but it's making me nervous. I'm not sure why my stomach didn't grow that large (i don't mean to sound nuts), and I wish it did, but it just didn't...and it doesn't seem to want to grow anymore no matter what i eat. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?!

Everyone carries differently! If your doctor isn't concerned, you shouldn't be either. I've gained 19 pounds (at 37 weeks), and it took me until my 3rd trimester to -look- pregnant. Shockingly, my OB guessed at my last appointment that my LO is about 8 pounds! This was me at 34 weeks, and my stomach hasn't really grown since then (please excuse the crazy hair):

I am and people are floored when they find out that I am 38w. Usually I get these looks like "Is the baby ok?Chat Icon ". So there I am defending myself saying how I have a healthy 7lb baby in my belly waiting to be delivered within the next few weeks.

I am. I'm 28 weeks and everyone thinks I'm around 4-5 months. Nope - I'm in my third trimester! I'm 5'4" and have gained 9-10 pounds in 6.5 months.

I carried all three of mine small There are photos in my album at 37 weeks with baby # 2 & 33 weeks with baby #3 (baby 3 was a preemie and very small)

The doc would tell you if he was concerned!

I was 41 weeks in this pic with my DD. That is a regular shirt. I went into labor that night I think....
