In daily life, a small number of women may notice an increase in their belly size, which may not necessarily indicate pregnancy. This is because the belly size in the early stages of pregnancy is not obvious, and there may be some noticeable reactions, such as indigestion and gastrointestinal dysfunction. They can seek medical attention. Below, we will explain the relevant issues regarding an increase in belly size.
1、 Is getting pregnant due to an enlarged belly
Now there is some discomfort and enlargement in the stomach, which can be caused by various reasons such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, abnormal digestive function, and pregnancy. Therefore, appropriate screening can be conducted. If you engage in sexual activity, you can undergo an early pregnancy examination, and at the same time, you can also do an abdominal ultrasound examination to determine the diagnosis, which generally has a certain screening effect. The reasons for the enlargement of the small belly are multifaceted and must be thoroughly examined.
2、 How to determine if pregnant
1. Early pregnancy test strips
You can buy early pregnancy test strips to check if you are pregnant, usually used 3 to 5 days after your menstrual period expires to determine if you are pregnant. According to the instructions for use, if there are two red lines, it indicates pregnancy. If it is not displayed, it means it is not. Of course, after using early pregnancy test strips, further confirmation needs to be made at the hospital.
2. B-ultrasound examination
Ultrasound detection of early pregnancy is best done one month after the cessation of menstruation. The ultrasound display result will be answered by the doctor. Generally, if the ultrasound can see a pregnancy halo, it indicates pregnancy. This method is the most accurate but also the longest waiting method for testing.
3. Through blood testing
After sexual intercourse, one can undergo a blood HCG test, which usually takes 10 days to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine if they are pregnant.
The above is about how to determine whether you are pregnant. In fact, an enlarged belly is generally not pregnant because the changes in the belly are not obvious in the early stages. Many people may have early pregnancy reactions, usually after sexual intercourse. Early pregnancy and ultrasound examinations can be used, as well as urine and blood tests.
