Pregnant belly

Pregnancy for any woman without exception is a step into a new life, from which many wonderful moments are expected in the company of the beloved child. One of the most obvious signs of an "interesting" situation is a pregnant tummy, which every day becomes more and more. "And why it happens, how it grows and when it becomes noticeable" - most of the future mothers are interested. Especially if this is the first desired, and even more so long-awaited, pregnancy.

Initially, the answer seems obvious - the belly grows in size, because the child grows inside it, and it happens the same for everyone without exception. But not everything is so simple. Pregnant belly has many individual features, according to which a specialist can tell a lot of interesting things. In addition to developing in the womb of the mother of the fetus, its size is affected by enlarged uterus, amniotic fluid and, of course, the amount of food eaten by a woman.

As already noted above, during the first pregnancy the abdomen for a long time goes unnoticed, because its muscles are still strong and have never been subjected to such a strong stretching. But it all depends on the physiological features and heredity of the future mother, because there are cases when already at 10 weeks there is a presence of "puzozhitelya". On average, the little pussy is already performing at the 12th week of the "interesting" situation, and already on the 16th - it's impossible not to notice it. This is where the joyous exclamations of others, especially colleagues, rejoicing that they "declassified" your state begin. During this period, the uterus is palpable in the lower abdomen rather distinctly, and with the passage of weeks it rises higher and higher. When the child is preparing for the process of delivery, the uterus rushes down.

There are also such exceptions when the pregnant tummy appears on the seventh, eighth and even the ninth month. Practice shows that such an amazing case has a place to be, so it should not be surprised if your belly is not sufficiently noticeable at a later date. This absolutely does not mean that something may be wrong with the child. Cases when the abdomen is not traced up to the birth, are called "hidden pregnancy".

Very often women are concerned about the streak on the abdomen during pregnancy. Just want to notice that this is a fairly common phenomenon, because of which you should not worry. This strip of brown color, located in the center of the stomach, will disappear without a trace after childbirth. And no interference is required for this. The same goes for darkened hair on a pussy.

Another sensation that often delivers anxiety to expectant mothers is a tight stomach during pregnancy. Sometimes it becomes so hard, like stone. If this occurs in the last weeks of the situation, then it may indicate a near- onset of labor. If on a small date - on the tone of the uterus. In this case, you need to quickly get rid of this unpleasant moment, you need to relax and lie down on your side. To prevent repetition of hardening of the abdomen, you must give up bad mood, nervous work, sudden movements. If the stomach density does not pass within six hours, you need to urgently seek help from a doctor, because this indicates a threat to the fetus!

Based on the foregoing, we can draw the following conclusion: a pregnant tummy may appear at any time, or not appear at all. Nevertheless, there are some factors that help determine its "visibility" and the timing of its appearance. These are the anatomical features of a future mother, the type of presentation, the size of the child and the rate of its growth, the total weight gain and the pregnancy score (first or not).

In any case, regardless of the size of the pregnant tummy, a woman should treat her own body with the utmost care and attention.
