hiya try not to worry there will be room in your tum for her to cope,i got told nearer the end that i was having a longish baby for my size,im only small too,my baby came aoout at 36 weeks she was 57 cm long and weighed 7lb 3oz so think i was lucky she came out early and i didnt go full term,she is 9 months now and longer than any other babies her age i have seen so she must take after her dad as im short!!you will be fine hun try not to worry,your midwife will keep a check on thinks and let you know whats going on good luck jo xx
