How big is the twins' belly at two months old

Women who are pregnant with twins will feel very happy, but they also need to bear double or even more pressure during pregnancy. Moreover, if a woman is pregnant with twins, her abdomen will be much larger than if she is pregnant with one child, and it will be more inconvenient for her to move around in her daily life. On top of that, many women pregnant with twins go into labor prematurely. So, how big is the twins’ belly at two months old?

How big is the belly when you are two months pregnant with twins

It is normal to feel weak, tired and exhausted in the early stages of pregnancy. This is also a signal from the fetus to the mother that she needs to slow down. After pregnancy, the hormone levels in the expectant mother's body will change, which makes some expectant mothers feel sleepy and weak in the early stages of pregnancy, and sometimes experience body aches after waking up. After pregnancy, due to the influence of high estrogen levels in the body, the gastrointestinal motility of expectant mothers is weakened, so they are more likely to experience symptoms of indigestion during pregnancy, such as abdominal fullness, acid reflux, belching, etc., especially for expectant mothers with sensitive gastrointestinal tract, who are more likely to experience these uncomfortable symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy. During the first three months of pregnancy, the placenta in the abdomen is still in the initial stage of development, which will keep the body temperature of expectant mothers at a higher level, so pregnant women generally feel afraid of cold. After all, there is a new life in the mother's uterus, and the new life needs blood supply. Some of the blood will flow to the uterus to nourish the fetus, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the mother's head and dizziness. The early stages of pregnancy are indeed difficult, and most expectant mothers are helpless in the face of various early pregnancy reactions.

What is fetal movement

In fact, you cannot feel the baby when you just get pregnant. Along with the good news of pregnancy, there will definitely be a series of early pregnancy reactions. So when can we feel the fetal movement? After the mother is 4 months pregnant, that is, from the 5th month, the mother can clearly feel the movement of the fetus. Some pregnant mothers are sensitive and can feel fetal movement very early, while others can feel fetal movement later. Generally, mothers with their first child will feel it later, so pregnant mothers should not be anxious, because not feeling fetal movement does not mean that the baby is not moving. Maybe the baby is too small and the movements are just slight. As long as everything is normal during the prenatal checkup, there will be nothing wrong with the baby. If this is your first pregnancy, you may first feel fetal movement around 18-20 weeks.

At the beginning, the fetal movement is intermittent, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Gradually, you will feel your baby's movements becoming stronger and more regular. As your baby develops, you will feel his kicks and punches, and the movements will become more powerful. Generally, starting from the 28th week, the baby's life rhythm becomes more obvious, and he will have cycles of sleeping and waking. When the baby is awake, the fetal movements are more frequent and larger. When the baby is sleeping, he seems very quiet, and even if there is fetal movement, it is very small. So, from now on, you need to understand your baby's "daily habits", that is, the pattern of his fetal movements. Some obstetricians will recommend that you count fetal movements every day starting from the 28th week as a self-help method to monitor your baby's health.
