I remember when I was pregnant for almost 8 months, a few days when my belly was on the right side. At that time, I didn't know much about the first pregnancy, and I was very worried about whether this happened to the fetus. So he rushed to the hospital for an examination, but the doctor said that there is no need to make a fuss. This is normal.
Generally in the early stages of pregnancy, the expectant mother's belly has not swelled up, but after the middle and late pregnancy, the expectant mother's belly has some different changes, for example, some expectant mothers' belly To the left, some to the right, etc.
One, what is going on with the pregnant mother's belly on the right side?
1. The fetal activity range increases, and the fetal movement is obvious
When the fetus is "beginning in human form", he may simply move his little hands, feet or limbs, but as the gestational age increases, the fetus gradually develops, and the baby is not only bone strength It's much stronger than before, and even the activity range is much larger.
Especially after the third trimester, the various organs of the fetus tend to mature, and the size of the fetus is getting bigger and bigger, which in turn leads to a gradual decrease in amniotic fluid volume and a decrease in cushioning capacity. Therefore, once the baby's fetal movement is obvious, the shape of the expectant mother’s belly is very It is easy to change, such as suddenly shifting to the right (or left) and so on.
2, the uterus is right-rotated, causing the belly of the pregnant woman to be also to the right Yes, in this way, the baby will also move to the right side. As the gestational age increases, it will gradually cause the expectant mother’s belly to be more to the right. It should be noted that the right rotation of the uterus of pregnant women may adversely affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, after the middle and late stages of pregnancy, it is recommended that mothers should still sleep on the left side as much as possible.
Of course, it is not necessarily that every expectant mother will have the right side of the belly due to right rotation of the uterus. For example, some expectant mothers may have a little more left side of the belly during pregnancy.
3, fetal position, posture or position in the womb is more to the right
I believe most expectant mothers know it, In all stages of pregnancy, the fetus will change its position and posture at any time. The fetus's activities in the womb can be said to be a dynamic process. When most of the baby's body is on the right side of the uterus, the expectant mother's belly will be more to the right.
After the third trimester of pregnancy, the baby is usually in the womb of the expectant mother in a curled up position, and when the baby’s buttocks or a large area such as the head deviate to which side, the expectant mother’s belly The shape will change accordingly.
4. The fetus enlarges, and the activity space is relatively reduced.
Sometimes the mother’s belly is right (or biased) The phenomenon of) is actually related to the size of the fetus and the gradual decrease in the space for movement in the uterus. In the later stages of pregnancy, the baby usually develops larger, but because the space in the uterus is relatively limited, when the baby is active, the expectant mother's belly will inevitably appear to the left or right.
Second, pregnant mother’s belly is on the right side, do you need to correct it?
For the phenomenon that their belly is more on the right side, some expectant mothers may want to do it Correct the belly (for example, when the belly is on the right side, push it to the left side, etc.), so that the pregnant belly becomes symmetrical.
In fact, if the mother-to-be does this, it may be very dangerous. You should know that as long as you are not an experienced doctor, it is best for anyone not to easily touch (or pull, Poking, pushing, etc.) Expectant mother’s belly. Otherwise, it is very likely to harm the fetus, which is detrimental to the development of the fetus.
Conclusion
In short, since the expectant mother shows up, the shape of the pregnant belly is not fixed, it will change with the activity and posture of the fetus . Therefore, whether it is on the left or right side of the belly during pregnancy, this is a very normal phenomenon, and expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.
