This is because it is your first pregnancy and the abdominal muscles are still tight.

It hasn’t been stretched before. It will not look as big as a mum who has delivered before.

So you don’t have to worry or compare your abdomen to another person’s pregnancy

In second or third pregnancies because the abdominal muscle has been stretched before there is already some amount of laxity in the abdominal muscles and so it can grow bigger than that of a first time mum

Also remember other things like fluid, fat or any mass can make the abdomen look bigger.

So you don’t really need a big abdomen to feel all is going well.

Your doctor or midwife will also be checking on your fundal height as well as your scan. This will give your doctor insight on the well being of the baby. If he has not complained that you have intrauterine growth restriction, you should be at ease and enjoy your healthy pregnancy!
