Those comments always break me. I don't know why, but those comments just tear me apart. I'm uber sensitive about my size and how I look in the pregnancy. Grant it, I have the opposite problem. I'm HUGE, I mean seriously, people have been making comments since I was6.5- 7 months pregnant that I must be carrying twins, or that I must be ready to "drop that baby any day now". I just started saying "yeah in another 2.5 months" and laugh it off, but it hurts.

I'm measuring 1 week behind, and Tatum is measuring right on target so I'm trying really hard to not let those comments get to me. Hang in there, you look fabulous, your baby boy is gonna be perfect!

Don't let those people get to you.  I had people tell me the same thing throughout my entire pregnancy.  Everyone told me how tiny I was.  I probably looked about 6-7 months when I went in to deliver him.  Everyone said he was probably a small baby too but he was born at 8lbs 4oz.  Just smile and nod and let it roll off your back.  You look so cute with your belly and don't let anyone discourage you mama.

I only gained 16-18lbs during my pregnancy everyone said you couldn't tell I was pregnant. At 26 weeks my obgyn told me I had low amniotic fluid which is why I was small and that the baby would probaly be small to. The day before my induction at 38 weeks they estimated she may weigh 5-6 lbs. She weighed 8lbs 6 ozs. Don't fret it'll be ok. Look at it this way the smaller you are the less you'll have to lose after your angel is here. I was back to pre-pregnancy weight in 5 days. I wanted a baby bump too though its part of the excitement good luck.
Thanxs, Amy

I only gained 20 lbs with my pregnancy with most of it in the last month!!!  People were always shocked to find out how far along I was.  Our little miracle was 7lbs 13oz at birth and now a healthy 9 month old weghing in at 23lbs!!!  I was soooo worried that he wasn`t getting the proper nutrition in utero due to me being only 5 months post op but he was fine.  Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy and your new little one.  Congrats!
