Someone told me my belly is small for my month

I just got to 33 weeks today. So I’m in the 8th month. And I’m looking at my belly and feeling it. And yea it does seem a bit small from my other 2 pregnancy’s. Or I’m just used to be pregnant at this point. I had my first in 22 and my second in 23. So it was back to back. But I did feel larger with those two. And I don’t right now. Now I’m all worrying and in my head thinking this baby is actually small and all the problems that come with small babies. Heath wise and all that. I’m just freaking myself out here. My doctor did move my due date 9 days from previous date. Bc the measuring from the ultra sound on the anatomy scan. They were measuring 2 weeks behind. But but but. Both my other 2 babies measured 2 weeks behind as well and there due date wasn’t changed.

Why do people say shit like that? I’m massive and have been since week 23

Did they not go by your last period? That’s super weird they changed it

Ignore every single person on the planet who comments on your pregnant body. Unless they are your doctor, their opinion means NOTHING. People have commented multiple times on mine and it is never comfortable and never okay. If you are concerned, you can chat with your doctor. They could request another growth ultrasound and check fluid levels to make sure everything is okay. But every pregnant body is different and people that aren’t physicians don’t have any value commenting on your body :)

My belly popped at 6 weeks. Constantly been asked if I’m having twins. I’m 5’1 and my partner is 6’5 so this baby is expected to be big. Well she’s not estimated to be over 6 lbs. but I still feel huge. Don’t worry about the size of the bump, as long as your babe is healthy and gaining weight you’re doing amazing. Forget about their comments mama.

@whitney they did go by my last period but I got a late first ultrasound. I got it done around 13 weeks. When you get it when you’re supposed to, they can better guess estimate age of fetus. But since mine was later they did get a good estimate. 🤷🏼‍♀️ that’s what I was told.

@Claire I did do just that! I have a third trimester ultrasound coming up in 2 weeks. But the waiting is killing me bc I’m extremely worried even more so since that comment. I know i shouldn’t listen to other people. But it is hard. Especially when you already had a doubt about it. Then someone just confirming your doubts. 🙄

@Chrystina I popped really early too. Around 8 weeks. And I couldn’t even hide it to wait to tell people when the first trimester is over. But I popped and grew. It just seems this belly for a third trimester is smaller than it should be.
