I’m 8.5 months pregnant but my bump is so small my family say I don’t even look like I’m expecting
WATCHING your bump grow can be one of the most exciting parts of pregnancy.
But one woman has missed out on that joy, taking to TikTok to admit that her bump is so tiny that even her family have said she doesn’t look like she’s expecting.
Kennedy Chugg shared a video on the social media site in which she showed off her pregnancy figure.
“Me: excited to be 8.5 months pregnant,” she wrote over the clip, which featured her lip syncing along to the famous “I’ve got a baby in my belly” soundbite.
Stroking her stomach, Kennedy then turned to the side, to show a very small, rounded belly.
“Family: but you don’t even look pregnant,” she added.
“Rip to all the cute maternity clothes I bought,” Kennedy captioned the video, before adding in one of the comments that her baby girl is “all in my ribs”.
The video was quickly inundated with messages from people admitting they had similarly small bumps for their pregnancies.

“I’m 20 weeks and you can’t even tell,” one woman wrote. “It annoys me so bad when people tell me I need to be bigger, I can’t force my stomach to grow!!!!”
In response, Kennedy replied: “Girl I feel that!! I had a doc appointment and my baby was 6lbs 7oz.
“She is perfectly healthy and so am I. It’s all just genetics. Enjoy pregnancy!”
Another commenter wrote: “Girl, I am due January 28th and I’ve been bump shamed the entire pregnancy!
“Barely showing but as long as she’s healthy, I don’t mind.”
While someone else added: “I just gave birth and people tell me they didn’t even know I was pregnant! I didn’t really show.”
