Cone shaped belly?!

Question

Hey everyone! I’m 24 weeks pregnant and have just noticed my belly turning into some kind of cone shape when I sit up. Has anyone else had this and is it normal? The internet scares me, with talk about muscle separation so it’s not that reassuring 😣 I can’t add a video or I would. Thanks!

Answer

Completely normal. I even demonstrated for my doctor at one of my appointments and she said its 100% normal 👍

Answer

If you mean just the cone shape as your using your abdominal muscles to pull you up from lying down, yes I experienced that last pregnancy too. It is your abdominal muscles, as far as I understand. And even though I wouldn’t be overly terrified of abdominal separation, I also tried not to do things that caused that cone shape. After my pregnancy they did check for abdominal separation, so it is a thing.

Answer

I would just think that it's the position of little babe! The internet is NOT your friend, I can't look something up without panicking! Mention it at your next check up or even call your OB tomorrow!

Answer

It’s your uterus!
