Generally speaking, during the first three months of pregnancy, if you only look at your belly, you won't be able to tell anything. If the mother's belly is clearly visible, it means that she has been pregnant for a long time. In terms of abdominal circumference, there are corresponding standards at every stage of pregnancy. So, what is the normal abdominal circumference at 23 weeks?
Overall, the abdominal circumference will increase, with a certain degree of growth. The average abdominal circumference increases by 0.85cm per week, but mothers should not overthink it because everything is not very stable in the early stages of pregnancy, and it gradually stabilizes in the middle of pregnancy. Generally speaking, the abdominal circumference of a pregnant mother at 23 weeks is about 20 centimeters, and this is just a simple reference value. It cannot be ruled out that some mothers may have a larger abdominal circumference due to their fuller body shape.
Having a proper understanding of abdominal circumference has certain benefits, as it can indirectly reveal the development of the fetus. Having an abdominal circumference that is too large or too small is not good. If an abnormal abdominal circumference is found, one will seek medical help. During pregnancy, it is also important to avoid overeating, as this can lead to difficulties in childbirth.
During pregnancy, mothers should also persist in exercising and not be required to do difficult exercises, but at least they should stick to walking or practicing yoga. Eating without moving during pregnancy is a big taboo. This can also lead to overweight and cause the baby to gain weight.
