What changes have occurred in my belly during my 5th month of pregnancy? How come my belly starts to grow fast during my first few months of pregnancy?

We all know that after a woman becomes pregnant, her belly will gradually grow larger, especially in the second and third trimesters. Because each pregnant mother's situation is different, the size and shape of the belly are also different. Some mothers will have a larger belly, while some mothers' belly will not be obvious. So is it normal for the belly to not change much in five months of pregnancy? Let's take a closer look below!

Is it normal to have no changes in my belly during my 5th month of pregnancy?

It is normal for the belly to not change much during the fifth month of pregnancy, because some pregnant women will show their pregnancy late, and the belly will be obvious when they are seven or eight months pregnant. As long as the examination is normal, pregnant women do not need to worry. Cherish the moment when the belly is not big, and wait until the third trimester of pregnancy when the belly starts to grow, because the big belly will bring a lot of inconvenience, and pregnant women will also be extra tired because of the big belly. So, pregnant mothers, don't worry, the belly will be obvious in two months.

If your belly is not noticeable at five months of pregnancy, it does not mean that the fetus is not developing well. It is recommended to have regular prenatal checkups and follow the doctor's advice to make adjustments. When going out, protect your abdomen to avoid being touched.

Why is there no change in my belly after five months of pregnancy?

1. Slow fetal development

Some babies develop more slowly, and may not even be pregnant until May, or they may be 1 to 2 weeks smaller. Compared with pregnant women of the same gestational age, their belly may not be very obvious.

2. The location of the uterus

The belly of a pregnant mother with an anterior uterus is more obvious, while that of a posterior uterus is relatively smaller. When I was pregnant with my first child, my uterus was posterior, so it was basically invisible, but no matter which position it is, it is normal.

3. Pregnant mothers are slim

Some mothers are thin by nature, and they don’t gain much weight after pregnancy due to pregnancy reactions. I have a friend who weighed 90 catties before pregnancy, and only 105 catties in August. You can’t tell she’s pregnant.

4. Number of fetuses

If you have more than one baby, such as twins or multiple births, your belly will be more noticeable. In comparison, a single baby is not very big, mainly because of the enlargement of the uterus.

In addition, the amount of amniotic fluid and the position of the fetus are important factors that affect the size of the pregnant mother's belly, but as long as the prenatal examination is normal, don't worry too much.

How many months into pregnancy does the belly start to grow noticeably

How many months into pregnancy does the belly start to grow? This varies from person to person. Some pregnant women's bellies start to grow after more than three months of pregnancy, while some pregnant women's bellies are not noticeable until five months of pregnancy.

However, generally speaking, when you are four months pregnant, you can basically see that your belly is getting bigger. You may not be able to see it when you wear loose clothes, but you can see it when you take off your clothes. When you lie flat, you can clearly see the protruding uterus, and if it feels hard, it is the fetus. And when you are four or five months pregnant, if you put your hand on your belly, you can clearly feel the fetal heartbeat and even fetal movement.
