9th person saying i look really small for 20 weeks, have pics on profile. Any comments?

I am 30 weeks pregnant and today was the 9th person who said i look really small for 30 weeks. Do i really??? I have pics on my profile. I feel alot smaller. I know everyone carries different. Could it be maybe the baby is lying sideways i know i carry low. Im just a little concerned because of my bicornuate uterus conidtion. The clinic wont do anything to reassure me. I am measuring external a pretty normal, give or take a week or so behind. Thanks :)

I think you look great! You are carrying all baby, and that is a good thing for you! Some women just have that perfect pregnant body, long torso so baby has room! I DO NOT! LOL I am very short torso'd so I am one of those huge pregnant women where the baby has no where to go but out! LOL don't stress I think you are fine!

I'm 30w and about the same size as you in your 27w pics...Everyone tells me I'm looking small too!  I was so worried, I asked my doctor and he said I was measuring right on for my weeks...He said that people don't really know what a pregnant woman should look like, and that many people expect pregnant women to get much bigger than they need to with common myths going around that we need to eat for two (when we only need an extra 300 calories a day...)  A lot of women take advantage of pregnancy and gain extra and get bigger than necessary.  

I know its hard, ignore them!
