Women's bodies undergo significant changes during pregnancy, especially in terms of body shape. Not only may they gain weight, but their stomachs may also become larger and larger. But in the early stages of pregnancy, because the fetus is still relatively small, the pregnant woman's abdomen will not have a very obvious bulge. So, what is the size of a pregnant woman's belly at 4 months pregnant?
When a woman is 4 months pregnant, the standard uterine height is 16-20.6cm, the abdominal circumference is 77-89cm, and the weight of the pregnant woman will also increase by about 4-5kg. However, some pregnant women usually eat more, which can cause rapid weight gain, and at this time, the abdominal circumference is likely to be higher.
Four months of pregnancy is already considered mid pregnancy, and at this time, the nutritional intake of pregnant women is particularly important for the development of the fetus. If a pregnant woman's nutritional status is poor, it may lead to a smaller fetus, resulting in a smaller abdominal circumference. These types of pregnant women need to strengthen their nutrition and eat more nutritious and easily absorbable foods.
Women need a lot of calcium during pregnancy to meet the developmental needs of the fetus. So starting from 4 months of pregnancy, it is necessary to supplement calcium elements. Pregnant women can eat more dairy products, eggs, and soy products to supplement calcium. If pregnant women suffer from severe calcium deficiency, they should take some calcium tablets or supplements to meet their own and fetal calcium needs.
