FTM. Relatively small tummy at week 19 and anxious about next appt

I know different people may have different growth pace but it goes get stressful when people around comment that “you don’t look pregnant” “your tummy look small must eat more” cos my tummy is not as obvious as the other preg mothers. Comments like this make me worry in between my appts.. my last appt was at week 16 and the next will be in another weeks time. Doesn’t help when there’s so many information out there about stillborn etc which can’t be detected until scan Anybody encountered similar and how do you deal with it?

I’m 18 weeks FTM too, and similar to you my tummy is so small I still fit in my old clothes. Even my appetite is the same as before, I’m not eating extras. My mum was the same when she was carrying me, she only started showing at around 6-7 months? So I see it as a good thing haha, it reduces the chances of stretch marks too. And please don’t start eating a lot more than usual to make the tummy more obvious, it doesn’t do u or baby good. As long as you’re eating well and eating right, really don’t worry too much!
