You need to eat healthier and you will quit craving things your body is missing something, maybe protien or mor veggies.

Don't worry! I bet your belly will pop any time now. Those babies have a way of taking all the nutrients they need from your body. If your doctor's not worried, I wouldn't worry either. Just make sure you're taking your vitamins and try to have a healthy meal or snack every now and then too. All I ate was candy with my daughter and she turned out beautiful and healthy and 7 pounds! There's nothing wrong with a smaller baby...makes delivery a little more enjoyable! Good luck!

i would not worry. i thought the same thing and i didnt really start showing until i was about 28 weeks and i thought i had a problem bc i was not getting big so i thought the baby was not doing as well as he should be but i went and got an ultra sound and he was ok a little small he was 2.15 pds and should have been 2 and 1/2 ounds but they said he would be fine. now i am 35 weeks and i am getting bigger then what i was and you can tell i am pregnant lol. but i would not stress about it especially if the doctor says u r ok. i am sure u are fine and u should start getting bigger especially since your headed toward the end. but good luck.

i didn't eat alot because of nausea, i even lost weight for 4 months. i had a very small stomach, i didn't show until 5 months. i also loved the sweets. what i did was put alot of fruit in the house, the sugar in the fruit can replace the sugar you get from the more fatty stuff, now granted you are still getting sugar, the empty calories aren't there. dont worry! i only gained 20 pounds my whole pregnancy and my daughter weighed 7 pounds.

i'm sure everything is fine if the doctor isn't concerned or told you anything. my stomach was pretty small too, especially for having twins, no one believed me! so don't worry about that, everyone is different (my sis-in-law and cousin both looked like they were carrying twins when they weren't lol). just be careful about the sweets, you don't want to end up with the gestational diabetes. you should be doing that text in the next few weeks. but don't worry! i'm sure everything is fine, if not your doc would have said something!

Everything will be Fine trust me if there was something wrong with the baby in anyway the doctor would let you know if the doc thinks everything is ok then don;t stress about it... Stress is a HUGE fact shown causes problems with baby's GOOD LUCK and relax

eat sweets in moderation
but sure though, to be eating a lot of fruits and veggies- they help a lot with the growth of the baby. also grains
if you're really concerned about the size, ask for an ultrasound

I suggestion would be no tame your sweet tooth and limit what you take in and use common sense and balance it with healthy foods. Think of it like this -- what you put inside your body right now is creating a life... if you can see it like that, hopefully that will move you in a better direction for your eating habits.

eat what you can... the baby will be fine!! I was small till around 6-7 months then my tummy got big, like over night. Some women never get really big ( I gained 28 lbs. and all in tummy) Just do not sweat it and a little sweats never hurt and one !!

your baby is fine, if the doctor has seen u it is fiine, i have had 2 kids and i was bigger with my first and smaller with my second.. don't worry to much, if u can not hold down much food try milo it is a good for u and baby, thats what i had with my first baby as i could not eat much but she was still 8 pounds
goodluck
