Patient's question:
How long after pregnancy can you see a protruding belly? I had intercourse on August 15 and got pregnant, but I haven't seen my belly protrude yet. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Generally, around the third month of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and extends beyond the pelvic cavity, making it noticeable. However, with the improvement of living standards and various other factors such as personal conditions, the speed of embryo development can sometimes differ from person to person.It is important to continue taking folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy and to minimize sexual intercourse to avoid miscarriage and infection. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids and constipation. During sleep, try to maintain a left-side lying position.
