Abdomen size at week 13 of pregnancy
Having come once again to an appointment with her gynecologist, a woman at the age of 13 weeks will most likely find out what is VDM. The doctor first measures the height of the standing of the uterine fundus - the size from the top of the pubic bone and to the very bottom of the uterus. Now it should be up to 13 cm, that is, equal to the number of weeks.
If there are deviations and they are significant, it may be necessary to undergo ultrasound to make sure that the baby is all right, because both the development gap and the multiple pregnancy are possible . The width of the uterus is now 10 cm. In addition, the doctor measures the overall circumference of the abdomen, which will be individual for each woman.
The abdomen at the 13th week of pregnancy in slender and full women, of course, will be different, and the lush ladies have not yet visualized it. But pregnant women with a normal and lean physique will already notice how distinctly the puzik is outlined.
Another issue that worries some women, when the stomach at the 13th week of pregnancy does not grow - it simply does not exist. It's time to sound the alarm, because the woman does not yet feel the perturbations and does not see the visual evidence of her condition.
This may be during the first pregnancy, and the tummy will appear only by week 16, and even later. Full women, too, may not see the growth of the uterus for a long time. Whether the belly is visible at the 13th week of pregnancy depends on the placenta. If it is located on the back wall - then the tummy will appear later, and if on the front, then by the end of the first trimester it will be clearly visible.
