How quickly does the belly grow during pregnancy? The following trend is observed: in the first months there are practically no changes. The situation manifests itself in a change in the woman’s internal state: toxicosis, heightened sense of smell, swelling, drowsiness and irritability. After a certain period of time, the figure begins to actively change, and the volume of the “waist” increases almost daily.
The increase does not occur immediately, because the child grows gradually. The first months the fruit is formed, practically unchanged in size.
His internal systems and organs, head, face, limbs are being built. All energy goes towards these goals. There is not enough energy for growth, and it is not required.
Only after the fetus becomes as close as possible to “resembling” a person does it begin to actively increase in size, simultaneously completing the construction of individual systems.
When the belly begins to grow during pregnancy: from about the 16th week (4th month). By week 20, the roundness becomes clearly visible, and it is almost impossible to hide the tummy. Standard medical terms are not a panacea.
Factors influencing the rate of change in waist volume:
• muscle tone in a woman;
• first/not first pregnancy;
• volume of amniotic fluid;
• securing a child seat;
• the width of a woman’s hips;
• heredity;
• how many children are born at the same time.
