The main reason why the
expectant mothers are so concerned with the size of the abdomen is that they
think the size is related to the size and development of the baby. However, in
reality, the development of the baby with the size of the abdomen is often
incompatible. While the baby of a mother whose belly seems to be large may be
less weight, the baby of a mother with a smaller belly may be fatter.
In the week of pregnancy, the growth of the abdomen is
determined in pregnant women?
It is possible to find out
that a pregnant woman is pregnant by looking at her abdomen about 5 months (20
weeks). However, it can be understood after the 4th month (around 16-17 weeks)
when the expectant mother is naked. This may be affected by factors such as the
mother's tall, short, fat, weak, fat on her belly. For example, the tummy of a
short and thin mother will become clear more quickly, but it may take months to
find out that a fat mother with a fat belly is pregnant. The prominence of the
abdomen and the size of the abdominal swelling is not as important as expectant
mothers think. It is not true that pregnant women compare the size of each
other's bellies, the differences do not show that there is a problem, the size
may vary depending on the body structure of each woman.
Can you understand the baby's weight by looking at the
size of the abdomen?
It is not always possible to
estimate the baby's weight by looking at the size of the abdomen (belly). This
method can be very misleading. In the old years, the height of the highest
point of the uterus was measured by tape measure and the weight of the baby was
tried to be estimated, but today, with the widespread use of ultrasonography,
this method is not used much. An expectant mother with a large abdomen creates
suspicion about the size of the baby and it is decided to give birth by
cesarean if necessary, by measuring the estimated weight with ultrasound.
However, an expectant mother will not always have a large baby, and her weight may
be low. Especially the mothers of their mothers who have a weight and fat layer
on their stomach may be seen as large from the outside even though they are
small.
Does the mother's tummy show up late indicate a problem?
No, it doesn't. In some
expectant mothers, the abdomen may appear earlier, while in others it may be
later. Even mothers with the same height and weight, and even with the same
baby measurements on ultrasound, can see serious differences between their
bellies. This difference may be due to the position of the mother's womb and
the baby's posture.
Can the gender of the baby be understood by looking at
the shape of the abdominal swelling and belly?
The habit of guessing the
gender of the baby is common among people, whether it is the shape of the
abdomen, round or pointed, but it has no accuracy. In this way, keeping
estimates is completely coincidental, because fifty percent probability can
hold any prediction, since only girls or boys can be two genders.
Is it normal for the belly button to stick out (swell) or
straighten?
Due to the increase in
pressure in the abdomen due to the growth of the uterus during pregnancy, the
belly button can go outward, become flat, and the belly may become uncertain.
This is normal. However, if there is a very large, excessive swelling,
umbilical hernia may occur, in this case, you should definitely consult a
doctor. After birth, the belly button will become the old normal.
