I'm 24 Weeks but I'm not getting as big as I thought I would be. Is it because I'm so petite or what? And I don't get no sleep at night whatsoever.

I wouldn't worry! They said I was small a montha go so I asked my doc if I can drink protein shakes and she said it was a great idea. So I've been drinking one with lots of protein, vitamins and calories twice a day and went to the doc today and they said he is a big baby now! Lol I would give it a try!

I'm tiny too, I didn't show until 7 months. My belly was so small they thought my baby wasn't growing correctly so I had an ultrasound done and he is right on track! My boyfriends family said I was lying and wasn't pregnant. Smh lol don't worry!

Every one is different. My sister just looked a bit chunky until she his around seven months and then she popped out huge. I started showinh at 19 weeks but around 23 weeks I got huge and now there is no mistaking I am pregnant (26+4 now and have gained just under 4 pounds) other sister though started showing around 15 weeks and she got crazy big. Gained 70 pounds all in the belly. (Year and a half later she is ten pounds below her pre pregnancy weight). Everyone is different! Even in the same family. Sleep: get a pregnancy pillow,  works wonders!
