Have you seen your midwife recently. If so I am sure they would have said if your bump was too small. If you are worried I would ring them for a chat & I am sure they will see you straight away. It might just be that you are burning more calories now than you are eating, especially as you are getting closer to the end of your pregnancy. Have you felt your LO moving as normal?

Hi Jen

I wouldn't worry about it at all as long as your baby is moving as it should and you are measuring within the guidelines. If my memory is right with your second baby you get your next MW appointment at 34 weeks, if you don't want to wait that long to get checked out it won't hurt give your MW a call.

I lost 8lb when I was 33 weeks pg with our DD2, I had D & V didn't eat for 36 hours afterwards. I still measured at the right amount of weeks and my DD suffered no ill effects from it, when I phoned my MW she said my body would protect our baby and not to worry unless I couldn't keep drink down and that my body would use it's reserves to make sure our baby was nourished.

Oh and people said my bump was small with both our girls, I'm small so my bumps were never going to be massive. I seem to remember reading before that you aren't a big person so you aren't going to look the size of a house and I bet none of the people that said that to you were MW's or doctors.

Gosh your pg is flying by. I really would not worry. You LO will get everything they need from you and you have gained weight up til now. I only put in 18 pound with dd and she weighed 9 pound 2!!!

When is Lydias birthday must be soon?

Hi!
I just thought I'd post my experience. I was 63kg when I started my IVF cycle, 69kg at my heaviest during pregnancy. I was carrying twins! I am now the lightest I've been since I got married 9years ago. I ate as much as my little tummy could hold during pregnancy, not always healthy but well, I just didn't have enough space. The babies turned up at 37weeks weighing 4 and 5lbs. They always measured small but well enough and noone was worried except me. Like you a tiny bump especially when I said it was twins people would look aghast. I like you would jump on scales wherever I saw them!! Slightly obsessed me! I did stop using the Wii though cos it kept telling me I'd been eating too much!!!
I've stopped feeling guilty about the babies not growing enough because of me. They just ran out of room! I've started to be grateful for the best weightloss regime I could have ever asked for!
LIke the others have said if noone else is concerned and your baby is moving and measuring well on scans then I wouldn't worry, I wish you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy, stop worrying and enjoy it!

I'm glad all is well.
