You tend to carry your second pregnancy lower because your abdominal muscles get stretched so much by the first pregnancy that they're weaker. As a result, they can't support a baby as well as they did before, so the fetus drops lower in your abdomen. Also your uterus has "played the game before" it has already stretched to full capacity and once something has been stretched, it is easier to re stretch it. Nothing is as "tight" as it was before so this will cause you to show earlier.

At which month does your belly start to get harder and does it start getting bigger and harder under your belly button?

Hi, During your pregnancy your tummy usually becomes harder during the 3rd month of pregnancy but it can be earlier in some women if its their second pregnancy. If this is your second pregnancy, you usually show earlier than you did with your first and some first pregnancies are late showing. This is normal. Yes your tummy can become harder underneath your belly button but it really depends on what position the fetus is in.

Fetal movement is generally felt at how many weeks?

It is different for every woman, because pregnancy is different for every woman. Normally, fetal movement is felt earlier in a second or more pregnancy than in a first. Fetal movement is also likely to be felt earlier in thinner people than fatter people and in people have multiples. In a first pregnancy, fetal movement is normally first felt at around 17-20 weeks of pregnancy. In a second time or more pregnancy it is normally felt at around 15-20 weeks. It is not necessarily because it can be felt earlier, but more because the woman knows exactly what she's looking for because of her previous experiences.


Can you take a home pregnancy test after 2 months?

by then you should already know... you should be able to see the belly...but a test will still be positive. You're not showing by 2 months, by the third or fourth month you can start to see growth. And of course in some women this may be earlier or later. We are all different but I can assure you that most are not showing by the second month.


When you are pregnant when do your stomach get hard?

Hello, During your first pregnancy your pregnancy will take longer to become more noticeable. If this is not your first pregnancy and is your second, third, etc then you will usually show earlier. The stomach usually becomes hard around the fourth month or later, into your pregnancy. Once again, it depends whether this is your first or later pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies usually show earlier. Also, if you are overweight or have extra fat on your stomach, this may result in your tummy not feeling hard until you are further along into your pregnancy.
