stomach size

Currently now im 37th weeks and i have a friend who is at 36th weeks but her stomach is bigger than mine. We are at the same height and size too. Her husband isnt very tall but mine is. Should i be worried? I dont usually eat unnecessarily, i dont have cravings. I eat when im hungry. Gynae mentioned that my baby's weight is of a normal range. I feel abit jealous that her stomach is bigger than mine, looks nicer :(

Had the same worry when I had my kid as my stomach ain't big at all for a 38 week. Asked the doctor and was advised that there's nothing to worry about the size as it is dependent on the belly muscles and back bone. If you've regularly been active (walking, sports, etc) before expecting, then do expect a smaller stomach cause the stomach doesn't stretches so easily and recovery from pregnancy stretch and stretch marks is way faster. 😉 My belly went back to pre-pregnancy stage within the month I gave birth.
