Will my belly get bigger when I'm pregnant?

The symptoms of early pregnancy are determined by each person's physical condition. Some pregnant women have obvious pregnancy symptoms, but some female friends have relatively mild morning sickness. When a woman first becomes pregnant, her belly does not get bigger because the weight of the fetus has not increased. The belly will bulge out and slowly get bigger as the weight of the fetus increases. It can usually be clearly seen at 4 months.

Will a pregnant woman's belly get bigger when she first gets pregnant?

The belly will not get bigger when you just get pregnant. Generally speaking, the belly of a pregnant woman will start to get bigger when she is 4 months pregnant. However, some pregnant women feel their stomachs getting bigger in one month or even twenty days of pregnancy. Is this normal? In fact, when the embryo is implanted in the uterus for more than twenty days, it is only slightly larger than a bean sprout and will not cause the belly to enlarge. If you feel your belly getting bigger one month into your pregnancy, it may be caused by the following situations.

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, due to the secretion of estrogen and progesterone, some parts of the body, such as the breasts, will become fuller, the belly will become rounder, and the waist will become thicker. These are all normal changes after pregnancy and there is no need to worry.

2. After pregnancy, the gradually enlarged uterus begins to compress other abdominal organs, making the existence and movement space of these organs smaller, thereby squeezing the stomach and intestines, so the stomach and intestines feel blocked and pregnant women feel bloated.

3. Belly bloating and enlargement in the early stages of pregnancy does not rule out the possibility of gynecological inflammation, especially when accompanied by yellow vaginal discharge. This situation is often caused by inflammatory infection, and symptoms such as excessive vaginal discharge, yellowing, odor, and vulvar itching often occur. If not treated in time, retrograde infection of the inflammation can lead to cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc., and in severe cases, it can lead to miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, take vaginal secretions for testing, and receive symptomatic treatment based on the examination results. After pregnancy, the body's hormone levels are secreted vigorously. If you do not pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, it will cause gynecological inflammation.

Is it a boy or a girl if the belly is big during pregnancy

During pregnancy, many pregnant women judge the gender of the fetus based on the size and shape. There is a rumor that judging from the size of the belly, if a pregnant woman has a big belly it is a girl, and if she has a small belly it is a boy. Judging from the shape of the belly, a pregnant woman with a boy has a pointier belly, while a pregnant woman with a girl has a rounder belly. Are these statements correct? Experts say that it is impossible to determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl based on whether the belly is pointed, big, or round.

1. Judge the gender of the baby by the size of the pregnant woman’s belly: If the pregnant woman has a short upper body, the space for the fetus to develop can only extend outward, so the abdomen will appear large. On the contrary, if a pregnant woman has a long upper body, it can provide enough space for the development of the fetus, so the abdomen does not need to protrude outward and will naturally appear smaller.

2. Judge the gender of the baby by the shape of the pregnant woman’s belly: The shape of the pregnant woman’s belly is largely determined by the size of the fetus and its posture in the uterus. The posture of the fetus will also determine the shape of the pregnant woman's belly. If the fetus is facing away from the mother in the womb, the pregnant woman's belly will be more prominent; conversely, if the fetus is facing the mother in the womb, the abdomen will be flatter.

It can be seen that the size and shape of a pregnant woman's belly has nothing to do with the gender of the fetus. To determine whether the fetus is a boy or a girl, you can use methods such as B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound can clearly show the various organs and parts of the fetus, including the genitals. The growth of the uterus during pregnancy is regular, manifested as an increase in the uterine fundus and abdominal circumference, so uterine height and abdominal circumference are usually used to measure the size of a pregnant woman's belly. In addition, by measuring the uterine height and abdominal circumference, the pregnancy period and fetal development can also be inferred.
