Am I ’too small’ for 22 wks?

Yesterday I had a lovely but complete stranger comment on how 'tiny' i was for nearly 6 months pg (Or am I 5 and a half lol?).  This is the second person who has made this claim and even though my mw said last time I saw her that I was doing fine, I still worry a little. I hink I hvae put on about 7 kilos, which for 22 weeks seems ok to me?   I am in no way tiny at all- I"m 5ft 8 and not slim but not overweight either...just normal curvy IYKWIM? But so far all my pg weight seems to have gone just to my upper arms and I assume my tummy....even though it's still 'small' I still have a definate bump.

Is this not showing lots because I am tall or because it's my first bubs or what? I've checked out other ladies bump photos and mine is often nowhere near that size even if I"m further along! My 20 wk scan went well and no comment was made on our bubbas size, in fact she ws 345gm I think, which was on the average-large sze for that stage I thought? And long legs too lol.  

It's not a real problem I know but when random strangers start telling me I'm very small and even family say you're not really showing much yet then I get a bit worried. I tell the latter that the point of the exercise is for bubs to put on weight and not me (in excess). I'm DEFINATELY NOT dieting- never do, like m food too much lol- but I do have a healthy diet so maybe that's why. Argh I don't know but feedback and perhaps some suggestions of clear comebacks to make to these comments would be good.   TIA

Haha Mama Pickle you may be right about the insecurities thing.....on my part and theirs probably! I'm very happy actually that I haven't gotten 'huge' (yet!) cos I'm very aware I need to lose it after the baby's born lol and I hate dieting. It has just suprised me how free people are with their comments on all aspects of my pg...and I probably don't get as many as others I suspect!

As for my bubba-  assume if there was a problem with her size, then the sonographer would've commented on it and or my mw would've called me by now?  All the sonographer said was 'what a lovely spine she has and nice long legs and it all looks great! ' We didn't get a CRL cos she didn't do one.

Maybe all my fat is just spread out better than others lol. Cos I certainly have it haha

If your midwife is happy then you shouldn't be worried.  You've probably recently had a scan and the sonographer would have checked to make sure there was enough water and the baby is measuring to dates and they would have let you know if there was anything wrong.

As Rachel said everyone's perspective of normal is completely different.  I look like I'm carrying twins (maybe triplets) but was like this last time too and pushed out a tiny but healthy 3kg baby and practically flooded the delivery room, a friend of mine who gave birth the same day looked like she was about 4mths pregnant at full term and her son was healthy and bigger than my baby.

ETA: despite looking like I was carrying an overinflated beachball I only put on 10kgs last pregnancy.  I think height and body shape has a lot to do with the way you carry, I am a petite 5ft so my babies have nowhere to grow except out.  A better indication of whether you've put on enough weight (other than your midwife who does know best) would be to ask your mum or any aunty that you take after physically what they looked like while pregnant.
