How big my belly should be rite now?

Question

Im 17 weeks pregnant now. My belly shows and I think it looks big for 17 weeks.

Answer 1

Im sure its perfectly normal, but more than likely it is just you thinking that you look bigger becuase you are bigger than you normally are! congrats!

Answer 2

I was HUGE at 17 weeks. Now I am 5 months and I look like I am ready to have a baby. Everyone is different, just make sure you are eating right and not gaining too much weight, other than that, its perfectly normal.

I wanted to add that I also have a short waste, woman with longer wastes are not only LUCKY but are able to conceal the pregnancy for much longer.

Answer 3

It depends on your body type. If you have a short abdomen, your uterus will stick out sooner. That's why some women look 5 months pregnant at full term and others look like they're having twins at 6 months.

Answer 4

It depends on if you have a small frame or not and how much you weighed before you got pregnant also the way you carry depends on your stomach muscle tone. If you didn't have toned abs prior to baby then you will show quicker and most women have a distorted image of themselves when they are pregnant anyway.

Answer 5

Every woman is different, if you've had a baby before I heard you show earlier than your first. Also, if you have twins (or more!) in there you'll show alot more! Be sure to ask your Doc tho, good luck and congratulations! =)

Answer 6

It depends on how you are built also. If you are short or thin there is only one way to go,out. Your doctor should measure your belly every month at your appointments. Congratulations!!

Answer 7

maybe you have two or more little buggers in your tum!!

Answer 8

ask your doc
