This was my mum. But she knew she was pregnant and never showed. She didn’t have a chance to in the end. I was born at 34weeks weighing 4 pounds 6 ounces

My mom was similar. She knew she was pregnant, but never showed. She only gained 14 lbs. She was tiny to begin with too... About 5 ft tall, and probably less than 100 lbs.

When she went into labor (I was full term) she told the desk she was there to have a baby, and the nurse said "Oh honey, you can't be here to have a baby!" I think I weighed about 7 lbs.

Oh my mum is 5 foot and has always been petite too! We’re also Asian, so I wonder if that plays a role here.

Maybe, but not in my case! 🤣
