Is it normal to have a small stomach at 32 weeks pregnant?

Patient's question:

I am 32 weeks pregnant, with a fundal height of 27 cm and a abdominal circumference of 91 cm. I see other people's bellies are so big, but mine looks so small. Why is only mine so small? Will the baby be small too? I will have an ultrasound next week, and I'm worried...

Doctor's answer:

It's quite normal in your case, so there's no need to worry. After getting pregnant, the size of the abdomen and the size of the baby are not necessarily directly related. The size of the abdomen during pregnancy depends not only on the size of the baby but also on the amount of amniotic fluid. Some expectant mothers have a lot of amniotic fluid and a very large abdomen, but the baby turns out to be small. Some may look small but actually give birth to a larger baby. It's important to compare the size with the time before pregnancy, not just look at the current abdominal circumference. This is the advice for the question "Is it normal to have a small abdomen at 32 weeks of pregnancy?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
