I know it sounds stupid but now that i am pregnant i can't stop worrying that every single movement i make will hurt the baby. i'm only 4ft 6in and can't imagine how the babe could find any where to go or when i can't get comfortable. how's the babe going too? had a scan at 12weeks and babe seemed active but now it's bigger and getting bigger how does it find space?

congrats on ur pregnancy..ur bound to be worried about stuff seeing as you have waited so long..try to relax and not to let every little twing worry you as most things you feel will be normal. as for the baby finding space, you'd be surprised were a baby can get to in your body, they end up up in your ribs sometimes...dont worry your baby will be fine inside you and will have enough space x

It's a beautiful thing called stretch marks! :-)
Congrats! Don't worry, your baby will have plenty of room. All of us women, whether you are 4'6" or 6 feet tall start off with a uterus about the size of a pear. Babies come in all shapes and sizes. I have a friend that was significantly overweight (around 300 pounds) and she had the tiniest most precious 6 pound baby. I am of average size and my first born was 10 pounds and 22 and a half inches long (that's almost 2 feet tall!!!) My husband is 6'4" so I blame him! :-)
Don't freak out..you will not hurt the baby. I have another girlfriend that taught aerobics her whole pregnancy, but that was what she did before she got pregnant, I wouldn't start a vigorous exercise plan now. Good Luck to you!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Don't worry, it is perfectly normal to feel anxious witha first baby. I am only 4ft 11" and my daughter was a healthy 6lb 2oz when she was born. Your body will adjust itself to keep the baby safe and all you need to do is relax and enjoy being pregnant. Always listen to what your doc and midwife say and talk over any worries with them no matter how odd because they have heard it all before from every new mum to be. Congratulations and hope all goes well for you!

I am so happy for you as well. It must be the most wonderful time of your life. Don;t worry ever thing is fine and your baby will certainly have enough space to move and is perfectly comfortable and warm in your body. Keep calm and listen to your body, it will tell you - instinct. Of course keep in contact with your doctor. Eat a healthy diet and don't smoke or drink. Try light exercise and sleep well. Listen to soothing music and enjoy your pregnancy. At the end you will be rewarded with a beautiful healthy baby.
All the best.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! i think everyone has the same fears when they are first pregnant. its natural to feel like that. your baby is well protected in there so dont worry about hurting the little un. the baby will adapt tp its surroundings and you will probably have a bigger bump than most as the baby grows. dont worry. enjoy it and i wish you all the luck in the world

Don't worrie so much about it, worrieing can cause stress wich could also be harmfull to you and your baby. Your baby has all the space it needs that is why your belly grows, cause it is making space for the baby. And baby's are much tougher than we think. So just relax and go about your normal day to day things just don't overdo it. Cheers. Oh and congrats by the way and all the best for you and your baby.

It'll find the space by pressing on your lungs and bladder and making life extremely uncomfortable I would say! Babies are created for survival and they will do what they need to to grow healthily to your detriment, which explains why pregnant women can find they get bad teeth as the baby steeals the calcium for bone growth. Ensure you eat well, take gently exercize and see your GP if your concerned. Good luck and have fun!

Wow, congratulations. It is amazing how the baby fits in such a small person, my friend is 4ft 7in and at 6 months she looked about 8 bless her. Just remember to take it easy, you need your back for a long time!!!!
