Will the belly get bigger in the second month of pregnancy?

Today's medical equipment standards are getting better and better, and with the opening up of the second-child policy, many families are preparing to have another child. However, having another child is very dangerous, because most of the middle-aged women in the family are quite old and there is a risk of giving birth at an advanced age. The abdomen is basically not very obvious in the second month of pregnancy, so will the abdomen become bigger in the second month of pregnancy? Is it normal to become bigger?

Will my belly get bigger in the second month of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, the enlargement of the abdomen in the second month of pregnancy is not very obvious. Generally, in the second month of pregnancy, the test tube embryo has not yet formed and the uterus is still located in the pelvis, so the belly is not fat from the appearance. During the third to fourth month of pregnancy, the embryo develops at a relatively fast rate, and the bottom of the uterus begins to gradually protrude from the pelvis and move into the abdomen. Only at this time will the pregnant woman's belly become larger.

Of course, due to differences in many aspects such as pregnant women's physical fitness and diet, body shape changes will also vary. Generally speaking, the abdomen of pregnant women with anterior uterus is more prominent than that of pregnant women with posterior uterus. Some pregnant women do not have obvious abdominal enlargement even in the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy.

Is it normal for a pregnant woman to have a fat belly in the second month of pregnancy?

When a pregnant woman is 2 months pregnant, her abdomen does not expand significantly. Generally, it is only in the third or fourth month of pregnancy that the abdomen of the pregnant woman will gradually expand. However, every pregnant woman will have a different time for her belly to grow due to physical reasons and dietary problems. Therefore, it is possible that the abdomen of some pregnant women will enlarge after 2 months of pregnancy.

However, for most pregnant women, their abdomens are not noticeably protruding during the first three months of pregnancy for several reasons. First, the baby is not fully developed. Second, pregnant women have obvious pregnancy reactions, which causes their appetite to worsen and they cannot gain weight, so their belly does not grow noticeably. Generally, after four months of pregnancy, the abdomen of a pregnant woman will gradually expand, the height of the uterus will be about 16-20.5 cm, and the fetal abdominal circumference will be about 85 cm.

However, some pregnant women may not have a large abdomen even after four months of pregnancy. This is due to their strong pregnancy reaction and their relatively weak body. If a pregnant woman feels that there is something wrong with her body, she can go to the hospital for a check-up. It is enough as long as the various indicators of the fetus are within the normal range. In addition, pregnant women must have regular physical examinations during pregnancy to ensure that the baby develops normally.

Symptoms of 2nd month of pregnancy:

1. Termination of menstruation: Two months of pregnancy means that the woman’s menstruation has ceased for two months.

2. Frequent feeling of nausea and vomiting: During the second month of pregnancy, many pregnant women often experience feeling of nausea and vomiting, especially at the beginning of the day. This condition varies from person to person. Some people have very mild symptoms, while others have very severe symptoms.

3. Breast pain, swelling and itching: Breast pain, swelling and itching are physiological phenomena in early pregnancy. In addition, the areola may also darken in color.

4. Changes in skin color: May cause skin pigmentation or stretch marks in the abdomen, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

5. Very easy to get tired: It is very easy to get tired and often feel sleepy during the second month of pregnancy.

6. Frequent and urgent urination: During pregnancy, the bladder is compressed by the expanding uterus, which causes the volume of the bladder to shrink, and frequent urination will always occur.

Common problems in the second month of pregnancy are:

1. Pregnant mothers in their second month should not overwork, they should rest more to ensure adequate sleep quality, and they should reduce housework and going out as much as possible, and are not suitable for sexual life.

2. At this time, pregnant women begin to experience pregnancy reactions, such as loss of appetite, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, fatigue, fear of cold, and even sensitive, suspicious and irritable mentality. Therefore, pregnant women must ensure adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, and a happy mood.

3. This period is a critical stage for the formation of the fetus's brain and internal organs. Do not undergo X-ray examinations, contact with radiation sources and toxic substances, or take medicine casually, especially avoid fever and colds.

4. Pregnant women can go to work during this stage, but they do not need to take the subway to work. It is best not to take a taxi. If not, take a taxi to prevent abdominal injuries or infection with epidemic diseases.

5. Don't carry hanging objects or do strenuous exercises. When you bend your head to work, you should first straighten your back, bend your knees and squat down before doing it.

6. Do not use cold water to take a shower or wash your hair to avoid getting a fever or cold. Do not wash the bed sheets too often at one time to avoid miscarriage or premature birth due to overwork.
