After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, her belly will gradually enlarge, which everyone knows. But at 40 days of pregnancy, the fetus in the belly is still a small bean sprout, and at this time, the pregnant woman's belly will not become bigger. But some women always feel that their belly is bigger than before after getting pregnant. Will my belly get bigger at 40 days of pregnancy?
Generally speaking, at 4 months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's abdomen begins to enlarge. But some pregnant women feel their belly getting bigger at 40 days or even in their twenties. Is this situation normal? In fact, when the embryo implants in the uterus for more than 20 days and is only slightly the size of a soybean sprout, it will not cause belly enlargement. I feel like my belly is getting bigger after 40 days of pregnancy, which may be caused by the following situations.
1. After pregnancy, due to the secretion of estrogen and progesterone, some parts of the body, such as the breasts, belly, and waist, may become fuller, rounder, and thicker. These are normal changes after pregnancy and there is no need to worry.
2. Due to the gradually increasing size of the uterus after pregnancy, it begins to compress other organs in the abdomen, reducing the space for their existence and movement, thereby squeezing the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, pregnant women feel blocked and have a feeling of bloating.
3. In the early stages of pregnancy, bloating and enlargement of the abdomen do not rule out the possibility of gynecological inflammation, especially when accompanied by yellow vaginal discharge. This condition is often accompanied by inflammation and infection, often resulting in excessive vaginal discharge, yellowing, odor, itching of the external genitalia, etc. If left untreated, inflammation and retrograde infection can lead to cervicitis, cervical erosion, and in severe cases, miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, collect vaginal secretions for testing, and treat accordingly based on the examination results. After pregnancy, hormone levels in the body are highly secreted. If hygiene and cleanliness are not taken care of, it can lead to gynecological inflammation.
