From around 25 weeks of pregnancy your midwife will measure your bump size and will probably plot the growth on a chart in your notes.If she had any concerns,she'd refer you to the hospital to see a doctor.How you bump looks is influenced by lots of things,such as how many babies you've had before,how your baby's lying,and your height and size.
Scans,particularly at the end of pregnancy,aren't too accurate in estimating the size of a baby,so aren't that useful.Not all babies will be an average weight and they do tend to grow to fit,so trust in your body.If you're still worried,tell your midwife so she can reassure you and explain what she's feeling when she measures your bump.
