For every woman to become a mother is to make huge changes in her life. Therefore, they want to know everything about it, especially how the fetus should develop correctly, in what month does the pregnant belly appear ? These questions are asked quite often, especially those who are preparing to become a mother for the first time.
First, we explain the definition of "tummy". In the first months of pregnancy , a woman's stomach can grow up, the reason for this is improper nutrition or gas formation. In these first months, the uterus is not yet enlarged.
Pregnant women have such a moment when they begin to think: "At what time does the stomach begin to grow?" We will try to answer this question. The uterus begins to grow only at 16 weeks from the moment of conception. Therefore, the stomach will be noticeable to other people only at the 20th week of pregnancy. If a woman goes in for sports, i.e. if she has developed the abdomen, then the tummy will be visible much later.
Also, the appearance of the tummy also depends on which pelvis a pregnant woman has. In the event that the expectant mother's pelvis is wide enough, then her tummy will become visible only by the 4th-5th month of pregnancy. Full women will notice the "position" will be even later. In women who give birth a second time, the stomach may appear earlier. The number of embryos can also affect the size of the abdomen, namely, increase it. This is the only thing that can really affect the month in which the stomach appears in pregnant women. If the future mother has triplets or twins, then the stomach can be noticeable already in the first 3 months.
In general, the answer to the question of what week of pregnancy the stomach begins to grow will be as follows. If a woman has one fetus and its development is going well, then the abdomen should appear only at 12 weeks of gestation. Already at 16 weeks, your tummy will become noticeable not only to you.
And by the 27th week of pregnancy, the question is: at what period does the stomach begin to grow? - It will not be relevant, because at this point it will be impossible for your baby to hide under blouses and other clothes.
In this case, the future mother should be interested not only in how long her stomach begins to grow, but also how her baby should develop correctly.
At the 8 - 10th week of pregnancy, the ovum reaches a diameter of 22 mm.
At a time when it is necessary to register, namely, by 12 weeks, the length of the fetus will be seven centimeters, and its weight will reach 20-25 grams. At this time, coming to an ultrasound, you can see that the fetal egg almost completely filled the uterine cavity.
By the 17th week of pregnancy, the fetus will reach a length of 12 cm, while its body weight will increase to 100 grams. By this time, the question of how long the stomach begins to grow, disappears by itself, since all the unrest associated with it is already behind. The tummy has noticeably grown and rounded.
By week 20, the fetal length will reach 25 cm with a mass of about 300 g. At 24 weeks, your baby will have time to grow significantly. By this time, its length will be almost 30 cm, and the weight will vary from 600 to 700 g.
By week 28, the length of the fetus, as a rule, is 35 cm with a body weight of about 1.0-1.2 kg. At the 32nd week, body weight will increase to 1.5 kg with a fetal length of 40 cm.
At week 36, the baby was practically formed, and his indicators by this time would be as follows: weight - 2.5 kg, and length - about 48 cm.
However, it is impossible to say that these indicators are the same for everyone. They are quite individual, because the baby in the womb of each mother is formed in its own way. Therefore, the above data are very averaged, and your baby can reach large sizes or be slightly smaller due to individual characteristics.
The body weight of the fetus by the date of birth, as a rule, is 2.6-5.0 kg, and its length can reach 54 cm.
Thus, for a future mother, it should be important: to carry a child throughout the required period and provide him with everything necessary for proper growth and nutrition, and the tummy and its size are not the most important thing.
