Small bump = small baby?

Hi! Ftm here.. 36 weeks along and I look maybe 4/5 months pregnant! Does this mean my baby is gonna be small? I'm 5'9" and people don't believe I'm due in 29 days! Just curious if you had a small bump and what weight/length your baby was?

You carry smaller because your tall. I'm 5'8 and I'm 30 weeks with my second baby and everyone thinks I'm only like 4 months. I was small with my first pregnancy and my daughter was 8 pounds 1.2 ounces

I was big with my son... 8.6lbs 23inchs... a "normal" size with my daughter 19 inches. 7.2 lbs. With my third now... im about 22 weeks... carring her more in the back... so i barly have a bump... and shes measuring perfectly.

So you could be carring more in the back than out front. Youre going to have a happy healthy baby. Dont worrym

I'm only 30 weeks and some people get surprised when I tell them I'm pregnant. My ob said the baby is healthy, so I shouldn't be worried. Everybody says I'm super tiny.

I think my bump is smaller than most for both of my pregnancies. I am 37wk5d and most strangers look at me weird and surprised when I tell them my due date. I am also 5'9" and I think I have a longer torso so baby has more room to hide. My first was 6lb15oz and my doctor is guessing this one will be about the same. So everyone carries different and your doctor could probably give you a pretty good guess as to how big your baby will be
