Listen to the doctor and not to strangers over the internet.
At 7 months I was considerably small too but trust me one morning you will wake up and just plump up.
No need to stress out when you don't have to.

Hi honey. Everyone carries their bump differently. I'm quite tall so my bump looked nice and neat as tall people carry weight better. Any abnormalities would've been picked up on the scan. The baby has spent the last 7 months developing so it's now you'll probably start putting on more weight as the baby gets bigger. It can depend on the position of the baby too. You've got nothing to worry about except the many many sleepless nights and piles of laundry that's ahead of you lol. Congratulations on your pregnancy x

Im sure you are fine. Everyone is sooo different. Go look at babycenter or do a google search for Belly pics or type in 20 weeks on google images. you will see some girls are HUGE and some girls arent hardly showing. I'm 32 weeks and unless people know i'm pregnant- most people can't even tell. aside from maternity shirts- i'm still wearing the same jeans I wore pre-pregnancy just with them unbuttoned and unzipped and a home-made belly band over them.

You are fine, every pregnancy and every woman is different. It is not the size of your belly but the measurements of the baby and if the doctor is telling you that he/she measures what he/she is suppose to measure, then do not worry and feel yourself lucky that you will be able to get back into shape sooner than most women.

Look,don't worry if your belly is small at 7 months pregnant,as long as your doctor tells you that you're fine you shouldn't need to worry at all.I was like that in the begining of my pregnancy too,I'm 8 months and as long as my doctor tells me that my baby and i are ok i don't even worry.So don't worry ok,you and your baby will be just fine...trust me!

Are you naturally small? I wouldn't worry, if your Dr. says you are measuring fine, I am sure it is. I am actually a little overweight and with my first daughter at 8 months I was barely showing. Congrats and Good luck.

When my wife gave birth to our first, she looked like she was 7 months pregnant. Our daughter was born a healthy weight and everything was fine. Listen to your Dr. he/she knows better than any of us.

some women have small pregnant bellies it all depends on the structure of your body....like me i have wide hips so both of my children were big i looked like i was having twins..on the other hand for friend has small hips and she had a small belly I would not worry about it if your doctor is saying all is ok ....best wishes

if the doctor says your measurements are fine then you are fine. your baby gains the most weight during the 8th & 9th month. plus if you are petite and thin like me your tummy will probably be all baby.

You're fine. You don't have to look like a blimp. Each of us carry differently. Don't fret.
