Is your belly or uterus growing?

Various women's forums are replete with revelations that for some women, the belly begins to grow from the fifth week of pregnancy, for others - from the tenth, and for others, the roundness becomes visible to others at thirty weeks. But the key word in these revelations is “belly.” But it does not grow in pregnant women from overeating or increased gas production. Therefore, expectant mothers who claim that their belly is growing already in the first weeks of pregnancy confuse the “stomach” with the uterus. It grows at an accelerated pace from the 16th week of pregnancy, but already from the 20th week, those around you can really visually determine the interesting position of a lady by her rounded belly. By the way, the angle of protrusion of the uterus largely depends on how the baby is located inside, on the structural features of the pelvis and the elasticity of its abdominal wall.
