3rd trimester
28 weeks and a small belly
KimberlyGuest ·
Hey everyone! I due on May 28th and today I am exactly 28 weeks pregnant!
I've gained 3.5 kg so far. My belly is very small. No one can still tell that I'm pregnant. Of course my family knows because they know, but I often get comments from my partner's family like 'oh my, where is she?', 'are you sure you're pregnant?'.
It's not nice to hear.. I see a lot of pregnant women and they really have such nice bellies. I have barely anything.. I had an ultrasound at 25 weeks and it showed that our girl is slightly smaller than average at the moment. Next Monday I have another check-up, I'm curious. It does make me a bit worried, especially because my belly stays so small. Does anyone else have this? The midwife told me at the 24-week check-up that I'm doing well. Because I told her that I think my belly is so small. But she thought it was positive. On the internet I search every week for photos of bellies at the weeks I am, and what a difference always! On the one hand it also has advantages, I can still wear whatever I want and moving is still the same as before. I can still bend over without any problem or pain.
I also get the impression that I feel our girl move less. Last week I felt her almost every hour, now barely, this has been the case for a few days now. Should I worry? I do feel her every day, but now it's only twice a day. While the further you are, you should feel her move more, right? Oh she just kicked, lovely! ????

Don't worry, girl, you might not feel her for a day either. Very strange but it really happens, give her a little extra rest, hehe! Growing is tiring, you know!
Don't you have a picture of your belly? Beautiful, right? So tiny? -

Hey girl,
I didn't gain any weight at all myself. I had no baby bump so nobody knew I was pregnant. When I finally gave birth, people were like huh, were you pregnant?
I also felt the little one less, as long as you feel the little one every day it's fine. You don't need to feel the little one all day through. Enjoy your pregnancy. Because once you've given birth you'll miss it, how weird it may sound haha. And regarding size, a friend of mine always had babies below average, and they turned out to be lovely healthy babies. And they often estimate the baby to be bigger or smaller, but the baby turns out to be just fine size-wise. So enjoy girl. -

That's right, Mommy, I had that too! Are you going to worry that the baby is too big or too small and in the end it's normal... same as later at the pediatrician's office; there's always something. ???? -

Yeah, it's so frustrating. They make mothers stressed out like this, so they don't enjoy their pregnancy for nothing. -

That's right, dear Proud; nothing to wear, girl! -

Haha indeed, after my first I’ve got that now. Really silly stuff, but yeah, it’s a lesson for now. -

It can happen suddenly. I didn't notice anything at first. I'm now 31 weeks and think I have a fairly normal bump. It's still not as big as most, but I'm fine with it. My baby is growing well. I've gained 5 kg in total and need to gain at least 3 more in the last few weeks. Don't worry too much; everyone is different, and it might suddenly speed up.
