Well Nisha, I faced this problem with bothe my pregnancies. Moreso with the second one. I did not show well enuf till the last day. But recently I gave birth to a healthy baby boy who weighed 7 lbs and 5 oz at birth.

We get conscious becoz we see other pregnant ladies with bigger bellies. The only thing you must do to ensure proper growth of the baby is to have a high protein diet. Have eggs, soy, almonds, protein pills (under your docs supervision ofcourse).

So do not worry your baby will be fine and grow appropriately. It is just that some women do not show. I know a mother who had a huge belly and gave birth to a 6 lbs baby.

So try not to get keyed up. Some months ago I recd the same advice from Archie and here I pass it on to you.
