With second baby i lost 30 pounds i was skin and bones...she was born 4 weeks early weighing almost 7 pounds so realy dont worry!!!

nutnut - 127 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) you could be carrying baby deeper inside like towards your back. women come in all different sizes and shapes and carry babies just as uniquely. if your doctor isnt worried, you should be fine. just bc you only gained 4lbs doesnt mean the baby only weighs 4lbs. if you were very sick in the beginning, or nausiated and couldnt eat, you may have lost weight, or if you were more active than typically you couldve lost weight as well. you still have some time to go. i stayed the same size from 8weeks all the way up til about 8months then bam! i woke up one morning and had a heck of a time getting up out of the bed! i gained all my wieght in the very begining (and aparently im doing the same with this baby too). im one of those women who look 5 months pregant from 8wks until the last few weeks when i pop out. everyone is different. your ultrasound should give you a better idea of the baby's actual size. =D good luck and try not to stress too much!!!!

Cindie - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Your perfectly fine! Your likely carrying the baby near your back. You also will probably pop out there soon. As long as your ultrasounds are going well, and your eating normally you shouldn't be worried!

newyearsbb - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my friend right now is 7 months and the doctor was worried because she gained basically no weight the only way you can tell she is pregnant is to see her with no shirt, even then she looks 12-14 weeks, but ultrasouns confirmed baby is on track, all that matters, i guess she is lucky that shes so tiny but unlucky since the baby must be carried far back, so as long as you have an ultrasound to check on your baby and the doc says all is good thats the only way to know for sure

elizzyc59 - 128 days ago thank you for all your responds... yes i do go get a check ups with my doctor && he told me that it could be how my body is & no he isnt freaking out. but i do have an ultrasound coming up

chrissy-511 - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If you're going to the doctor and they are saying everything is fine then it should be ok. You sound like you carry in the back so you won't show much anyways. some women don't. Don't stress yourself out!

SazaUK(TTC2) - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) When my sister was pregnant you couldn't tell that she was pregnant until she was 8 months along and then all of a sudden she popped. Don't worrry too much about it if your doctor isn't.

JENNIFERANN333 - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) No i get huge but I see alot of women who pop out after 35 week or so... Dont worry... It will come.. Some people just only gain for the baby, and the fat from your body goes to the baby.. some women loose weight.. My best friend is 28 weeks and has lost 4 pounds and has a flat belly... dont worry..

kottonkurlz - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Is your dr freaking out too? Has he put you on a diet? Are you getting scans every week? Probably not. Girl, you are one of the lucky ones. You are holding the baby in your body cavity and hips which is great. You may not get stretch marks and you won't have to purchase a lot of maternity clothing or at all. Some of us...look like we swallowed a torpedo. My stomach measures 12 inches perpenducular to my body. My stretch marks have stretch marks. People think I'm having twins, there are bets that I will not make it to due date, people won't let me do the simplest things in fear that the baby will drop out, my spine is so curved my back is in a shape of a c, my belly button doesn't exist it is so stretched out....I can go on and on. You are just in the minority % of people that don't show. Take it in stride and take many pictures of how beautiful you are.

jastinel - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) are you a small person ,that could be part of that reason,my mom when she had me never looked pregnant was in regular clothes,my sister in law was the same way only gained like 9 pounds,i had another like that too,i dont think there is a problem if you are 30 weeks,as long as you have been to your doc on a regular basis ,if there was a problem they would of told you by now ,be thankful i wish i could look like that when i am pregnant

luvbeingamom - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't know if you are similar to me, but i was a bit overweight when i got pregnant. I lost a bunch of weight in my first trimester (before i even knew i was pregnant) and then from conception to birth i gained 3lbs. I gave birth to a very healthy baby boy. It is very possible if you eat right and stay healthy for your baby to be healthy and you not gain a ton of weight, especially so early on. A majority of weight (at least for me) was gained in the last 5 weeks of pregnancy. But i would speak to your doc. US should confirm a healthy baby. Are you feeling her/him move? Doc's concerned?

xela - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You need to speak to your ob about this- if he has not been concerned up until now-you really need to discuss with him.. Have you had an ultrasoundÉ

diane-taketwo - 128 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) This is a question for a doctor, as you would need to be checked by them to determine if everything is ok. If you had any extra weight on before becoming pregnant sometimes you lose that weight as baby is gaining weight.
