What should my belly measure at 17 weeks? I feel like I am small and am worried that my baby is not growing right. I dont know why but I do. What happens if it is not growing right???

I'm 20 weeks on friday (and I get to find out if it's a boy or girl!!) and I still think my belly is little, like I wouldn't expect someone that doesn't know me to even know I was pregnant. It's kind of dissapointing though huh? I want EVERYONE to know lol...I can't wait til I have a big old belly, but I guess we should appreciate not being HUGE while we still can! :]

It's an old method of measuring your pregnancy before ultrasounds were invented. It's normal to worry about the growth of your baby between ultrasounds (and afterwards!). But, like lhmomma said, your doctor would tell you if he suspected anything was wrong.
