Is every thing alright though? 

Yes I remember it well as my daughter Helen (nell 18) was 9lbs 2ozs and Iam only 4ft 10ins need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It       

It was a very long time ago

its good to now im not alone lol i too hold my bubs in my back i am almost fullterm and the same size belly as my sis who is 5 1/2 mnths into her pregnancy but my first was smallish lol she was 6 pound 7 and she was hard to push out. my older sis had 2 boys one was 8 pound 9 then her second was 9 pound 8. poor girls smaller framed then me too.

I remember 10 half mths ago, minutes after Jade was born sayin to my sister in law "look at this fat flubby pancake" I was high on gas too.It was really werid. Also i remember crawling up from the end of the bed on hands and knees that night and my big homer simpson gut hung down, I tried not to look at it for ywo mths hoping it would go away. As for arna's answer i still rub my "preg belly" And Im not even preg, hahahahahaha I loved being preg too

I know that for the first 2 days (stop with the laughing peoples, this is embarrassing!)  I kept walking around talking to my belly, even though my daughter was in her bed beside me! lol.  hey, I really loved being pregnant!!!!! lol.

I know what you are saying though.  There have been times when I have looked at or felt my belly and it is felt like there is nothing in there.  It has depended on where bubs is sitting and what I have been doing at the time.  Due to the way my body is (apparently I'm unusual!!!), my babies tend to hide closer to my back than some womens.  Means I don't appear as big, even at full term. but my babies haven't been all that small.

Any time you are worried, or you don't feel 10 good hard movements from bubs in 12 hours, then go and get checked out.  I bet bubs is just having a veg out time and putting on that extra fat layer.

I just remember being really shocked when I jumped in the shower after my first. I looked so wierd and skin was everywhere. I cried cause I thought my body was wrecked forever. LOL It is a very strange feeling I do remember that. Very emotional
