How big is the belly at six months old

When the pregnancy reaches the sixth month, the mother's waist begins to hurt because the belly begins to bulge slowly. Even if it is covered with clothes, it can be clearly seen when sitting down. At this stage, mothers have successfully passed the pregnancy period. Their appetites are big and they want to eat everything. They often overeat. However, while supplementing nutrition, don't forget to arrange a regular diet, which is very helpful for the baby's physical development and the mother's own health. How big is a 6-month-old belly?

1. How big is the belly when you are 6 months pregnant

At 6 months of pregnancy, the standard uterine height of the expectant mother's belly is 17-24.5cm, and the abdominal circumference is between 80-91cm.

When pregnant for 6 months, the expectant mother's belly becomes more prominent and the waist begins to thicken noticeably. At this time, the expectant mother looks more "pregnant". At this time, the fetus is about 25 to 28 cm long and weighs about 350 g. The expectant mother's belly and weight have also changed accordingly. The standard value of uterine height is 17-24.5 cm, the abdominal circumference is between 80-91 cm, and the weight has also increased a lot. As the uterus grows larger and heavier, the expectant mother's body center of gravity moves forward. In order to maintain balance, the expectant mother will begin to lean backward and easily feel tired.

Note: The size of an expectant mother's belly is related to the amount of amniotic fluid, the thickness of the abdominal wall, the position of the uterus, and the degree of fat accumulation in the pregnant woman's abdomen. Therefore, the size of the belly of different expectant mothers will look different. As long as the results of pregnancy examinations are normal, the expectant mother does not need to worry.

2. Physical changes of pregnant women in 6 months

1. Body shape

During the sixth month of pregnancy, the expectant mother's body becomes heavier and heavier, increasing rapidly at a rate of about 250 grams per week. At this time, the expectant mother's lower abdomen becomes more prominent and the waist begins to thicken noticeably.

2. Easy to get tired and weak

During the sixth month of pregnancy, the expectant mother's uterus further grows and its weight also increases, which causes the spine to lean back and the center of gravity of the body to move forward, thus resulting in a condition unique to pregnant women. Since the body is not used to this change, it is easy to fall over. The waist and back are also particularly prone to fatigue because they are not used to this change in the body. You often feel some difficulty when sitting down or standing up.

3. Breast enlargement

At this time, in order to adapt to the needs of breastfeeding, the expectant mother's breasts will grow rapidly, and there will be soft lumps to the touch. It is recommended that expectant mothers change their underwear. It is best to wear pure cotton underwear without underwires. At the same time, do not wear tight tops to avoid hindering the development of the breasts due to compression.

4. Poor sleep

During the sixth month of pregnancy, due to the physical inconveniences, expectant mothers often have trouble sleeping and are easily awakened. It is recommended that expectant mothers drink a glass of pure milk before going to bed, as milk has a good sleep-promoting effect.
