Does the growth of a baby mean anything by how much your stomach sticks out??

Question

My uterus, according to my doctor is where it should be but my tummy isn't big and sticking out like a 7 1/2month pregnant womans normally looks. It looks like I'm pregnant just more like 5-6 months? Does the baby have room? And he does move a lot, but latlely just rolling and flipping around type feelings not the kicking he was doing a few weeks ago? Is all this normal?? 1st pregnancy

Answer 1

It's perfectly normal not to feel like you are showing as much as other woman.... especially if this is your first pregnancy. After number one though, look out! You'll look like you're 6 months poregnant after your first trimester because all of those muscles have already been stretched out before. If your OB says ou are measuring fine then relax and enjoy your pregnancy! Congrats!

Answer 2

First it isn't your stomach sticking out its your belly. The growth of your belly is your uterus growing to accomidate your growing baby. Unless your doctor tells you there is something wrong then you should be ok. i have known women who were eight or nine months pregnant and looked like they were 5 months. It all depends on your body. Plus you should be lucky that you are as big as a house because that is less weight and skin you will have to worry about aftet your baby is born. You have 1 1/2 more months to go. You could becom bigger with in that time. Around 7 months is when the baby really starts to grow. Congrats on the baby I hope all goes well.

Answer 3

not necessarily. some women carry babies more towards the back. some women barley look pregnant and have an average size baby. some might say your belly is "all baby" which is not a bad thing. babies back and bottom maybe facing out rather than arms and legs, which means kicks towards the ribs and punches to the bladder. if doctor seems to think everything is fine ...go with that. if you have further concerns, talk with your doctor, maybe they will do another ultrasound to check the approximate weight. just keep on eating healthy from the 4 food groups and if you breastfeed you need to continue to as if you are still pregnant. drink lots and lots of milk and water!! gl and congrats......everything will be fine.
p.s. please don't stress over this issue........stress can be bad for baby and pregnancy.

Answer 4

Some women don't really start to show until 8 months and then overnight it looks like they have put on 50 pounds. The baby has plenty of room. At 7 months the baby is only about 3 pounds (My son was born at 29 weeks and he was 2 lbs, 15 oz)

Answer 5

How fall your stomach sticks out depends how your baby is lying around in you. His back and butt could be toward you and the smaller arms and legs out front not sticking out. You will just have to wait. Yes waiting is the hardest thing to do. You sound pretty normal to me. Only 9 or so more weeks to go Good luck.. If the movement get to slow then be all mean call the dr.

Answer 6

It's normal, I went thru my first pregnancy wearing my size 7 jeans up until my 6th month then i could no longer button them. As long as the doctor doesn't see anything wrong in your bloodwork or your ultrasound consider yourself lucky for not being too big, but don't worry around the ending of the 8th month you'll notice the difference when you can't tie your shoes ;)

Answer 7

A larger baby will take up more room and protrude more. An average sized baby will appear larger in a smaller woman as well and vice versa. In addition, the amount of weight you put on will play a role. If your baby is healthy and active according to your physician, I won't be too concerned about the appearance of your stomach.

Answer 8

Some women don't show much at all when they're pregnant. I knew a young lady who was pregnant in high school and nobody had the slightest idea until her eighth month. So it goes sometimes. It doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of room in there... it probably mean more that your hips and internal organs aren't in the way! At least it makes it much easier to get clothes!

Answer 9

Dont panic.Trust the doctor.In my first pregnancy I was still wearing same skirt at work as i had before I was pregnant.I left work at around 71/2 months gone and still wearing it!!!! My bump grew alot more in those last 6 weeks though and i went on to have a 7lb 10oz baby boy.The truth is everyones body is different hun.

Answer 10

At extraordinarily much 7 months,my abdomen is slightly bulging out. it quite is all approximately how your physique is and your weight. If the physician has pronounced it is large,then there isn't any longer something to rigidity approximately. you will in all risk in simple terms be having a small toddler,that's large reason some toddlers are in simple terms small besides in spite of in case you consume perfect and so on. sturdy good fortune hun.
