MY BUMP IS SO SMALL!

-

Q I’m nearly in my third trimester, and my bump is just so tiny! It kind of breaks my heart because I feel like maybe my baby is not comfortabl­e enough to play and grow like babies inside other mothers who have bigger bumps. Should I really be worried? Does my son have all the space he needs?

A TINA SAYS: Your baby grows according to the space he has around him. He knows no other world than the world of being tucked up and snug, and while it may seem uncomforta­ble to you, this is not the case for your baby in the womb. Every pregnant woman carries differentl­y, so don’t compare yourself with others! It sounds as if you are carrying your baby really well and, in fact, you may be the envy of other pregnant women who wish their belly was as well contained and little like yours.
