small belly means small baby?

I am almost 29 weeks and my belly is still small, does it mean baby is not growing or just small? #worried ftm ! :/

I don't think that's true. I got like double the size with my 2nd than I was the first and my baby was smaller the 2nd time

I dont think it matters with my first one I had a huge belly and it wasn't that big with the second one my belly wasn't that big and baby was bigger than first one besides now is when baby starts gaining weight and all that so belly will grow a lot more

This is not uncommon for a ftm. Ask for the dr to measure at your next appt. Most of the time, it is within normal. Baby may be small. But not something to worry about. :)
