The difference between a floating belly and a pointed belly

Having a baby is the happiest thing in every lesbian's life. Due to the increasingly harsh environment, pregnant mothers need to do many fetal anomaly examinations during pregnancy, and at the same time, they must always be aware of the baby's condition in the belly in daily life. Many pregnant mothers have heard of terms like floating belly and pointed belly, and believe that a pointed belly means a boy will be born. So what is a pointed belly and what is a floating belly?

Floating belly is one of the belly types that pregnant mothers must understand. A floating belly is a sagging abdomen during pregnancy, which is usually caused by an overly large fetus, too much amniotic fluid, or overly relaxed abdominal wall muscles. The center of gravity of pregnant women shifts forward significantly, placing too much burden on the spine. Pregnant women with floating bellies are the most typical patients who should choose cesarean section. The specific shape is that when looking at the pregnant mother from behind, it looks like she is not pregnant, and there is no fat on her waist caused by pregnancy. All the meat went to the belly. As the name suggests, the belly seems to be suspended. Although it seems magical, it is not good news for mothers who want to give birth naturally.

Why do many people with floating bellies choose cesarean section? I can't use my waist strength when giving birth. On the one hand, the baby's head is too big to fit into the pelvis. On the other hand, the baby's head in a hanging belly is relatively forward and is not on the same plane as the pelvis, making it difficult for the baby to get in. Naturally, it is very difficult for the baby to fit into the pelvis. At the same time, because of this type of belly, mothers will be "led astray", with the center of gravity of the body pulled forward by the belly, putting a greater burden on the spine. If the birth is natural, in addition to episiotomy, forceps will probably be used, which can easily cause heavy bleeding. The center of gravity of pregnant women shifts forward significantly, placing too much burden on the spine. Pregnant women with hanging abdomen are the most typical patients who should choose cesarean section.

Then many pregnant mothers will ask, is it true that a floating belly prevents natural birth? The editor would like to say that there is no type of belly that can be 100% certain to have a natural birth or a caesarean section. Both natural birth and caesarean section are decided by the hospital. There are also many examples of pregnant women with floating bellies who have successfully given birth naturally. So if you have this type of belly and happen not to want a caesarean section, don't worry. Ask the doctor and follow the doctor's arrangements. Natural birth is not impossible.

There are many rumors circulating in the market about how to judge the gender of the baby, such as "a pointed belly means a boy, and a round belly means a girl". However, experts say that judging the gender of the fetus by the shape of the pregnant woman's belly is pure guesswork and has no scientific basis. Experts point out that in fact, the gender of the baby has little to do with the roundness or pointiness of the pregnant mother's belly. The reason why the pregnant mother's belly is different is because it is related to the size of the fetus, the fetal position, and the body shape of the pregnant mother. The shape of a pregnant woman's belly is largely determined by the size of the fetus. Although boys do weigh more than girls at birth on average, this difference does not produce an appreciable difference in a pregnant woman's belly. The position of the fetus in the mother's womb can also affect the shape of the belly. If the fetus is facing the mother in the womb, the pregnant woman's belly will appear more protruding; if the fetus is facing the mother in the womb, the pregnant woman's belly will appear flatter. If the pregnant mother is thin, as the baby grows, there will be no space for the belly to develop horizontally, so the fetus can only push forward, and thus the belly will look more pointed. On the contrary, pregnant women with a fatter body will have a rounder belly. If a pregnant woman has an obvious lumbar lordosis, her sacrum will be kyphotic, creating a "raised butt" body shape. The uterus will bulge forward and the belly will appear pointed. For most people, the lumbar spine is not obviously lordotic, so the uterus will not be pushed forward and the belly will appear round. The shape of a pregnant woman's belly is also related to the thickness of her abdominal muscles. If the pregnant woman's abdominal muscles are thin and weak, they will not be able to withstand the pressure of the uterus and will bulge forward, and the pregnant woman's belly will be pointed; if the pregnant woman's abdominal muscles are thick and strong, the belly will be round. If the pregnant woman's pelvis is shallow or narrow, when the baby grows slowly, the pelvis will not be able to accommodate it. The baby will grow outside the pelvis and push forward, so that the belly will appear more pointed. If a pregnant woman's pelvis is wider and deeper, her belly will appear flatter. Experts say that the shape of the belly will usually be used as a basis for obstetricians to visually judge whether a pregnant mother is likely to have a difficult delivery.
