feel out of place with other pregnancies..

I'm nearly 32 weeks and compared to other pregnancies, i feel odd. I haven't had any swelling, no back pain, I've only gained 8 lbs all going to my boobs and belly, i look like I'm 6-7 months pregnant, and i got skinnier everywhere else. Is it just me or is it weird?

That sounds just like me. Sometimes i feel like im gonna go to the doctor and they are gonna tell me i gained 10 pounds but on average i gain (maybe!) 1-3. Id say maybe the fact that your working is helping to keep your weight down but i sit at home all day and dont gain any weight.. so i dont know. I feel like i should look a lot bigger also.as long as my doctor says the babies healthy im gonna keep on doing what im doing.

I'm working constantly and always on my feet. It just seems odd to me that i don't have swelling or back pain, especially being so far along. There's a lot of people that say I'm tiny for nearly 32 weeks. And all i want to eat these past few weeks has been sweets... but I'm not gaining weight from it. The only things that have gotten bigger is my boobs (barely) and my tummy. It just seems very odd to me.

Im 32 weeks also. No swelling. I do have back pain but i had that even before i go pregnant. Ive only gain about 3-5 lbs over my original weihht(cause i lost at the beginning) and i dont really look 8 months. I feel like im JUST getting the round belly.. so id have to say its normal.. are you maybe doing less this pregnancy then other? Cause i think being on your feet and stuff is what causes swelling and some back pain..
