First time mummy...

Hi mummies! Have u ever encounter someone telling u your baby bump is "small" when u tell them how many months u are? Personally fr me i kept questioning myself like, is it not ok fr my tummy to be small? Or is my baby growing well? I feel down sometimes... #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

Yes, got such comment from my niece, friend who birthed 3 kids and even from my mom! As a first time mom, I know how it feels. I remember I cried after hearing it from my niece cos kids don’t lie, but then hubby said I shouldn’t take what a kid said seriously cos they don’t know babies need time to grow. For my mom, it was because she was worried that i wasn’t eating enough. I’m petite so it’s unfair to compare with average size moms. Told myself to ignore all these comments, more importantly, ask gynae if baby is of the right weight for the gestation week, bump size doesn’t matter. Just eat healthily and take care of yourself, don’t let this negativity gets to you.. happy mummy happy baby :)
