Why is the pregnant belly facing upwards1

  As the baby's age gradually increases, the mother's belly will also gradually become larger, which is what people call visible pregnancy. And there are two ways to show pregnancy, one is to hold it up and the other is to hold it down, usually people will see the mother holding it up. If the mother is in the posterior position of the uterus, the direction of the uterus will tilt backwards, and at this time the cervix will face upwards. Visually, the mother's belly is facing upwards.

  If the mother is in the anterior position of the uterus and the position of the fetus is relatively downward, the visual appearance of the expectant mother is downward, that is, pregnant. For pregnant mothers, due to the proximity of the uterus to the stomach, the duration of morning sickness will be longer. On the contrary, the pregnant mother's uterus is closer to the bladder, which often leads to symptoms such as frequent urination and constipation.

  The orientation of a mother's belly is related to her body shape. For mothers who are slightly overweight, if their pelvis is not too tight, the fetus will grow horizontally, resulting in a situation of being pregnant. If the mother's body is relatively slim and her pelvis is narrow, the fetus will grow vertically, leading to a situation of upper pregnancy. Regardless of the type, mothers need to undergo regular check ups to ensure the normal development of the fetus.
