After pregnancy, a woman's belly will gradually enlarge as the baby grows and the amount of amniotic fluid increases. In general, the more babies there are, the larger the belly will be, and twins will also be bigger than one baby. In addition, many mothers have expressed that why did their belly get bigger at the beginning of pregnancy and why did they have a bigger belly in their first pregnancy?
The reason for having a large belly during pregnancy is related to the growth of the fetus. If the fetus develops well, the belly will naturally appear larger. At the beginning of pregnancy, the belly is relatively large due to the position of the fetus. If the fetus is located on the anterior wall of the uterus, the belly will appear larger visually. In addition, pregnant women like to drink soup and other foods in their diet, and the amniotic fluid will be more abundant, making the belly look larger.
What are the things that mothers need to pay special attention to after pregnancy?
1. Supplement folic acid. The best time to supplement folic acid is from three months before pregnancy to three months after pregnancy. If there is no special preparation for pregnancy, starting to supplement after pregnancy is still effective. Folic acid helps promote the development of the baby's brain and avoid neurological abnormalities.
2. Regular pregnancy check ups. Multiple examinations are required during pregnancy, and each examination is meaningful for both the pregnant woman and the baby. Identify problems in a timely manner and make adjustments accordingly. Especially during mid pregnancy, it is necessary to conduct prenatal screening to check for Down syndrome or other abnormal symptoms in the baby.
