Small and worried..

I'll be 27 weeks on Monday and I've only gained 12 lbs. thus far. My belly is so tiny and I barely look pregnant. Anyone else experienced this? I measured 2 cm under at the beginning of the week. I'm only 4' 10" and started at 89 lbs. I'm at 101 now.

I'm 5'8 and my first pregnancy I lost 20 lbs and my doctor was a little concerned because I wasn't big to begin with. Baby was healthy and so was I. I was very small. When I went to deliver I only looked like five months. This pregnancy, I showed a lot faster. However, I'm 7 months pregnant and still am not big. Don't be worried:) if everything is healthy, doctor didn't say anything than its a blessing. Less to lose and get back into place haha:)

I'm 36 weeks and I've only gained 6lbs since I've been pregnant. My baby girl is healthy as well. I wouldn't worry too much unless the MDO says something different!

Doctor doesn't seem worried, but that could be possible. I have killer back pain as if I'm huge.

I'm 38 weeks 5 days and I've gained 6 lbs my entire pregnancy. I'm 5'1 and started out at 129lbs. My belly is measuring small but my baby is measuring a week ahead. As long as baby is growing and healthy there is nothing to be worried about.
