Boy or girl? How to determine the sex of a child by the shape and size of the belly

Pregnancy: signs and superstitions

First, let's figure out what underlies popular beliefs and superstitions regarding pregnancy. What motivated the people who invented them and released them to the masses?

Here, it turns out, you don’t even need to be a psychologist. Having studied only a few of them, you can easily identify two main driving forces that from time immemorial have haunted expectant mothers. Curiosity and fear .

What self-respecting woman would wait nine whole months to find out whether she would have a son or a daughter? And any expectant mother worries about the successful outcome of the birth. Is not it? So pregnant women try by any means to satisfy their curiosity and dispel anxiety.

If to these two reasons for the emergence of superstitions regarding pregnancy, we add a hormonal imbalance in the body of a woman expecting a child, which very often pushes her to the most unimaginable acts, then you will probably cease to be surprised by the appearance of such signs and their number.

How to treat folk signs regarding pregnancy? Treat them as your common sense tells you!

How to treat?

Popular superstitions, for the most part, are designed to calm the pregnant woman and satisfy her curiosity. Therefore, they do not cause any harm to the expectant mother and the fetus.

How should we treat them? Yes, as the expectant mother wishes. If only she felt good and comfortable at the same time.

But we should not forget that signs are signs, and antenatal consultations, obstetrician-gynecologists, tests, ultrasound and other procedures for monitoring the course of pregnancy have not been canceled for modern mothers.

Of course, you can believe in legends. But let your gynecologist remain the unconditional authority during pregnancy

The most original signs of pregnancy in girls

Finally, I will give several, as it seems to me, very extraordinary signs, none of which I personally would trust. But you can compare them with your personal experience:

So, you will have a girl if:

• You take the key from the table, holding its sharp end.
• The first child in the family will first learn to say “mom”, then the second will be a girl.
• The child's father wears loose underwear.
• Before pregnancy and at the moment of conception, you went into bed with your head facing south.
• Your age at the time of conception plus the month in which the child was conceived will give an odd number (there are many different numerological ways to determine the sex of a child).
• Future parents were already married at the time of conception (boys are more often born out of wedlock).
• Future parents have regular sex life.
• The expectant mother loves the future father more than he loves her.
• You always think about the fact that you are carrying a girl under your heart.

Now let's get back to reality a little. Hot on the heels, I would like to immediately comment on the last sign: it has long been known, and it seems to everyone, that the sex of a child is determined at the moment of fertilization of the egg. Whichever sperm she encounters will be the same gender: with chromosome X or Y. And it follows that the father is genetically responsible for the sex of the future offspring.

It can be fun to look for certain signs in yourself, but this whole theory has no scientific basis. Perhaps girls are actually a little easier to carry, since with boys a “hormonal conflict” may arise in the mother’s body. However, many women will not agree with this. Doctors do not separate the pregnancy of girls and boys: for them, pregnancy in this sense is no different. And the sex of the child can only be reliably determined by ultrasound or biochemical analysis of amniotic fluid.

Finally, I want to refute the signs of pregnancy with a girl described above from personal experience. Firstly, my daughter and I did not experience very many of the symptoms mentioned. Secondly, I compare my “girl” pregnancy with the same “girl” pregnancies of my friends and sisters and confirm: there is very little in common with the same indicators, and the coincidences are most likely either random or typical for most pregnant women. And thirdly, it doesn’t really matter who lives in the tummy. The main thing is that this miracle grows and develops well, is born safely, is healthy and pleases mom and dad with its uniqueness. Congratulations to you!

What should pregnant women not do?

To summarize what has been said, we can put it this way: if a woman regularly visits the antenatal clinic and follows all the orders of the attending physician, then let her believe the signs if she wants to. This will in no way prevent her from giving birth to a healthy child.

Quite the contrary. Many of the prohibitions and restrictions mentioned in popular superstitions actually make sense to observe. And from a medical point of view they are quite reasonable.

Of course, we are not talking about all beliefs and signs. Therefore, the main thing for you is not to lose common sense. Your diagnosis is pregnancy, not dementia.

Think before you take anyone's word for it. And if you don’t find logic in this or that superstition, you don’t need to blindly follow its instructions. Let your gynecologist be your undisputed authority. There is certainly logic in this.

What should pregnant women not do, according to folk wisdom? And is it worth paying attention to such warnings?

It is advisable for expectant mothers to limit contact with any animals, because... they can be carriers of pathogens of various infectious diseases

Play with the cat

“An expectant mother should not play with a cat, stroke it, or pick it up, otherwise her baby will have many enemies in life.”

This may not be literal, but this is roughly what this belief sounds like. As for some abstract enemies in the distant future of an unborn baby, it is unlikely that anyone ever connected their appearance with the fact that his mother, being pregnant with him, dared to pet the cat.

But toxoplasmosis (like other Torch infections) is a real threat. And the causative agents of this disease are carried by cats.

What was on the minds of the ancients who came up with such a sign, hardly anyone would now dare to guess. But doctors, in this sense, completely agree with them. Pregnant cats should be avoided.

Drafts are very dangerous for pregnant women. Therefore, they are not recommended to sit on the threshold

Sitting on the threshold

“A pregnant woman should not sit on the doorstep. A threshold is a line between two worlds (one’s own and someone else’s). And it is precisely on this line of transition that it is most difficult to protect yourself from evil forces.”

This is how our ancestors formulated this ban. How would your doctor put such a warning into words?

“It is not advisable for an expectant mother to sit on the threshold. The reason is drafts. And colds during pregnancy are simply unacceptable,” he would say.

And you can follow this belief with a light heart. It will only benefit you.

Don't sit with your legs crossed. In this case, blood circulation in the pelvic organs is disrupted. And the baby begins to experience oxygen starvation

Cross your legs

“A woman who is carrying a child under her heart should not sit with her legs crossed.”

According to our ancestors, the whole point is that often sitting in this position, you can give birth to a baby with club feet, or with crooked legs.

But the way you like to sit does not in any way affect the curvature of your toddler’s legs. But the blood circulation in your legs, which are in a crossed position for a long time, will definitely be disrupted.

This results in varicose veins and impaired blood circulation in the pelvic organs, which include the uterus. And with it - the placenta and fetus.

As you can see, there are more serious problems here than crooked legs. So, listen to the people, don't sit cross-legged while carrying a baby.

It is not recommended to tell you the expected date of birth, rather for your own peace of mind

Inform the expected date of birth

“You cannot tell anyone (even the future dad) your expected due date.”

According to legend, the more people know that a woman is currently giving birth, the more difficult and painful the birth process will be.

So far, no one has refuted this statement, but no one has confirmed it either. There are suggestions that it is not advisable to disclose the expected date of birth in order to avoid unnecessary questions and not worry the expectant mother unnecessarily.

It's up to you to decide what to do about it. If you don’t want all your relatives to call you closer to the scheduled time, asking the same “original” question: “Have you given birth yet?” - then don’t tell anyone when you plan to give birth to your baby.

But doctors in no way prohibit cutting the hair of pregnant women. This superstition came to us from ancient times and has long since lost its relevance.

Get a haircut

“You can’t cut your hair during pregnancy.”

This sign is considered both the most common and the oldest. If you have already decided to follow it, then your determination may be seriously shaken when you find out why a woman expecting a new addition to the family could not cut her hair many centuries ago.

The reason is that the ancients were partially saved by their hair from the cold. Of course, if a pregnant woman cuts her curls, she may freeze and catch a cold. And this, until the invention of antibiotics, was like death.

Modern medicine has nothing against haircuts. It does not pose any threat to the health of the mother and baby.

Expectant mothers, get your hair cut for your health. This will make you even more attractive, which will guarantee your good mood. Endorphins have never bothered anyone before.

Knitting is not contraindicated for expectant mothers. But they don’t want to sit in one position for a long time

To knit

“When expecting a baby, you can’t knit or sew things for him with your own hands. The baby may become entangled in the umbilical cord.”

Previously, people's thinking was predominantly associative. They identified the umbilical cord with a rope. If you twist it, the little one will get tangled in the umbilical cord.

What do we know about this? The umbilical cord can wrap around the baby if it moves too actively in the mother's tummy. And when does this happen? When the baby doesn't like something. When mom is tired or sitting in an uncomfortable position.

Expectant mothers can sew and knit. Moreover, these activities calm you down and give you a lot of positive emotions. But! You cannot stay in one position for a long time. While doing handicrafts, take regular breaks, change positions, and rest.

Today, young mothers buy things for their future little ones in advance, thereby showing foresight and common sense

Buying a dowry for the baby

“When expecting a baby, you should not buy a dowry for him in advance.”

Of course, don't buy if you believe in evil spirits. After all, it used to be believed that evil spirits would want to take things bought for an unborn child. And therefore they will try to harm the baby in the womb and during childbirth.

In the Middle Ages, and much later, there was a very high level of infant mortality. And things purchased for the child in advance might not be useful. This belief may have been relevant a couple of centuries ago. But not today, when accidents during childbirth are extremely rare.

Just as it used to be advisable not to buy baby clothes before the baby is born, these days, based on practicality reasons, it is better for the expectant mother to buy everything she needs in advance. So that later, after giving birth, she could devote all her time to the baby.

The Church has nothing against a woman expecting a child coming to the temple of God for reassurance and blessing

Go to church

The clergy have their own opinion about the fact that pregnant women should not enter church. A child is a blessing from God. Parents give a person a body, and the Creator gives a soul, which inhabits the child at the moment of his conception.

An expectant mother can and should go to church. But why do people say the opposite? The thing is that our ancestors treated pregnancy differently. They believed that a woman expecting a child should be protected from prying eyes.

Where are the most people likely to see a pregnant woman? Of course, in church, during services. So the pregnant women sat at home, under the reliable protection of their native walls, where they were not afraid of damage or the evil eye.

These days, expectant mothers no longer hide from people and are not afraid of the evil eye. At least most of them. Therefore, in public places, incl. and in the church, they appear when they see fit.

As for the laws of the church, there is only one restriction: after giving birth, a woman cannot go to church for 40 days. And a pregnant woman can always receive blessing and peace in the temple of God.

But expectant mothers do not need to appear at funerals for completely objective reasons.

Attend the funeral

The subjective point of view on this problem is formulated approximately like this: a child, being in the mother’s womb, does not yet have a guardian angel, and therefore is very vulnerable to the influence of “dark forces”. And any contact of a pregnant woman with the dead is strictly contraindicated.

It's up to you how to relate to such an interpretation. If we judge objectively, then it is really not advisable to attend the funeral of a pregnant woman. For a number of very real and understandable reasons:

1. Stress. When seeing off a loved one on their last journey, a pregnant woman will, of course, worry, be nervous, and suffer. Such strong emotions can provoke vasospasm, increased uterine tone and, in the worst case, premature termination of pregnancy.
2. Infectious diseases. There are usually many people present at funerals. And where there are crowds of people, there are infections transmitted by airborne droplets - acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, etc. And they are much more dangerous for an unborn baby than any emotional shocks for his mother.

As you can see, a funeral is not an event that a pregnant woman should attend. And that's a fact. You need to accept it and come to terms with it.

You can say goodbye to someone dear to you who has died mentally. For the new life developing within you. According to all moral standards, this is normal, acceptable, justified.

As for visiting your deceased relatives at the cemetery, there are no prohibitions on this. But the expectant mother must decide for herself whether such visits can upset her emotional balance

Appear in a cemetery

But neither people, nor the church, nor medicine have anything against the appearance of a pregnant woman in a cemetery outside of a funeral. It's up to you to decide how much your presence there can affect your well-being. Some people, for example, feel reassured by visiting their deceased loved ones.

If, while pregnant, you feel psychological discomfort at the thought of visiting a cemetery, it is better to postpone this visit until the moment when you have safely given birth to your baby.

No one will judge you. After all, this topic has always been shrouded in a cloud of mysticism, secrets, and legends. And even if you are a convinced materialist, pregnancy is characterized by strange perceptions and changes in mood against the background of hormonal imbalance in the body.

Heartburn in pregnant women is a physiological phenomenon. And there is no mysticism here. Eat right, and this disease will bypass you

How is it with us and how is it with them?

In Russia, it is believed that a belly like a cucumber is a sign of a boy. And in Italy there is a saying: “A sharp belly will not go to war” - that is, an angular pregnant belly guarantees that a girl will not be drafted into army service.

Food cravings during pregnancy mean a lot. In Russia, it is believed that a female fetus provokes the expectant mother to develop a passion for pickles and sweets. The Italians claim that it goes with milk. But both sides agree that a woman pregnant with a boy will prefer meat to milk and sweets.

The face of the expectant mother can also give a clue. There is a saying in the Russian expanses: “A daughter takes away her mother’s beauty” - that is, during pregnancy with a girl, a woman’s face becomes very ugly. In Italy, it’s the other way around: they expect a girl if a lady in an interesting position blooms like a May rose.

In Italy, it is believed that if during pregnancy a woman's left leg hurts or is constantly numb, she will give birth to a boy. A Russian superstition says that it is a girl if a woman sits down in position, stretching out her left (obviously suffering) leg.

An excellent marker of the sex of the unborn child is toxicosis in the first trimester. True, its presence in Russia means that a boy will be born, and in Italy - that a girl will be born.

Another way to find out the sex of the child is to hang her wedding ring on a thread above the pregnant woman’s belly. In Russia it is believed that if it starts to describe circles, then a girl will be born, and if it swings from side to side, then a boy will be born. Needless to say, Italians have a diametrically opposite opinion on this matter?

Pregnancy can be a cure for many diseases

Heartburn in pregnant women

People interpret the appearance of heartburn in pregnant women very interestingly. “The expectant mother suffers from heartburn precisely at those moments when the fetus’s nails and hairs grow.” Are they not constantly growing?

Then why is heartburn a phenomenon characteristic primarily of late pregnancy? And why does this disease accompany the bearing of babies with abundant hair on the head to the same extent as the bearing of hairless babies?

What can modern medicine answer to this?

It turns out that heartburn in pregnant women occurs when the fetus, increasing in size, begins to put pressure on the stomach.

And if the expectant mother does not adhere to the principle of fractional nutrition (does not eat often, but in small portions), excess food with gastric juice can be pushed back into the esophagus.

Here is the reason for heartburn in late pregnancy. And the little nails and hairs have absolutely nothing to do with it.

An eternal question that expectant mothers never tire of asking at any time. Who will be born to them: a girl or a boy?

Well, and finally, about the most common signs during pregnancy. Do you want to know who is growing and developing in your tummy: a boy or a girl? Stand in front of the mirror and look carefully at your reflection.

Signs of pregnancy with a boy: pointed belly, craving for salty foods, toxicosis

Signs of pregnancy with a boy

You are having a boy if:

• the shape of the abdomen is pointed;
• the areolas around the nipples are light;
• the stomach “looks” to the right;
• hair on the legs grows rapidly;
• you have become noticeably prettier during pregnancy.

Signs of pregnancy with a girl: rounded belly, no toxicosis, craving for sweets

Signs of pregnancy with a girl

You are having a girl if:

• your stomach is round;
• the areolas around the nipples are dark;
• the stomach “looks” to the left;
• your beauty has faded somewhat during pregnancy, and pigment spots have appeared on your skin.

You have an excellent opportunity to check whether the signs coincide with reality. Use them to determine the sex of your unborn baby and quickly run for a routine ultrasound. There are only two options waiting for you there. They have remained unchanged since the time of Adam and Eve.

Determining the gender of your unborn child today will not be a problem. Although sometimes even an ultrasound machine makes mistakes

But does it really matter whether you have a boy or a girl? The main thing is that the child is born healthy. Isn't this happiness for his parents? And if, in order to safely carry and give birth to your baby, you have to follow a thousand doctor’s orders and start believing in a million superstitions, well, so be it. This means that this is your price for the happiness that awaits you ahead after the birth of your beloved little blood!..

Who do you have?

Signs of pregnancy with a girl or boy take into account many seemingly insignificant factors. Such, for example, as the appearance and shape of the mother’s belly, changes in her gastronomic interests, habits and even mood swings.

External changes

During pregnancy, a woman's body produces a huge amount of different hormones. Moreover, they are produced in double volume. Of course, such a hormonal storm cannot pass without leaving a trace, and this is most quickly reflected in one’s appearance. It is believed that:

• If in the first months pimples and blemishes appeared on your face, your skin tone changed, your hair became brittle and dull, and your nails began to peel - these are all signs of pregnancy with a girl. Boys, on the contrary, decorate the appearance of their mothers.
• The shape of the abdomen also plays a role in determining the sex of the baby. Signs of pregnancy with a boy are a small, forward-facing belly, which often does not spoil the mother’s waist at all and is almost invisible from the back. Girls, on the contrary, hide in a rather high, large belly, the shape of which is similar to a ball, almost always protruding from the sides. Moreover, the form is determined only from the 30th week.
• Pregnancy with a girl can affect the change in the leading side. This is expressed in the fact that the mother, having been right-handed all her life, suddenly begins to actively use her left hand, gets out of bed or walks up the stairs starting with her left foot.
• Absent-mindedness, inattention, irritability and unpredictability in desires. A pregnant woman wants strawberries with lard, and a minute later she demands her husband to go and smell the asphalt with her. If this happens to you, then congratulations - these are all signs of pregnancy with a girl.

Internal changes

Acne, blemishes, gaining extra pounds and centimeters on the waist are not all the symptoms that occur within nine months:

• Toxicosis itself can occur no matter what gender of child you have. But it is believed that if it is longer, stronger and more exhausting, a girl will be born. Those who are carrying a boy are luckier in this regard.
• Changes in taste. They say that if you want to eat meat, milk and pickles, it means that a future heir will be born. Mothers awaiting the arrival of their daughters, as a rule, load up on fruits and sweets.
• Pregnancy with a boy can be seen even in the way the baby moves. Boys are often more active, kick harder and prefer to lie on the right. If a woman is pregnant with a girl, then she may notice that the baby spends almost all the time on the left side of her stomach and sometimes slightly pushes her mother into the liver.
• Another difference is the baby's heart rate. As a rule, for girls it should be 150 beats per minute or higher. Moreover, a rapid heartbeat can also be observed in the mother.
• Signs of pregnancy with a boy are also associated with changes in blood circulation. It has been noticed that if a woman’s hands and feet are often cold and it is sometimes very difficult to warm them, it means that a son will be born.

Signs of pregnancy with a girl. How to recognize a boy or a girl in mom's tummy?

As soon as they learn about the interesting situation, the expectant mother, father, and together with all their loved ones, begin to wonder - who will be born, a boy or a girl? But an ultrasound, which will make it possible to discern the sex of the inhabitant of the mother’s tummy, is still so far away, and the baby does not always agree to settle down in such a way as to find out whether it is a boy or a girl. Meanwhile, there are scientific observations, folk signs and signs of pregnancy with a girl. What are these features, and are they always true? Let's figure it out.

· Pregnancy with a girl affects the mother’s appearance

It is believed that girls “take away” the beauty from their mothers, especially in the first couple of months. Almost immediately after conception, signs of pregnancy with a girl may appear, such as changed skin tone, puffiness and swelling of the face, the appearance of skin rashes, etc. All this may simply have physiological reasons, or it may also lead to signs of pregnancy with a girl.

Some “experts” claim that it is often the face that reveals the “interesting” position of a woman. Many pregnant women feel that pregnancy with a girl has an unfavorable effect on their attractiveness: the face becomes rounded, as if swelling slightly. The situation is also aggravated by the condition of the skin: when it is a girl, it peels, dries, and may become covered with dark pigment spots. Some mothers even noticed such signs during pregnancy as a girl, such as severe hair loss, peeling and crumbling of nails, which began towards the end of the first trimester

- this is how a mother shares beauty with her daughter :). Pregnancy with a girl can also give off a reddish tint to the hair.

For some reason, such a common sign of pregnancy as some darkening of the nipple halo is also attributed to mothers of girls. Acne and pimples on the face are not uncommon during pregnancy with a girl. The deterioration of appearance, as a reliable sign during pregnancy with a girl, is explained by a decrease in the amount of female hormones, which the baby supposedly takes on herself.

Many expectant mothers are also upset by their rapidly increasing dimensions: mainly hips and buttocks. But at the same time, breast growth is pleasing, especially for future fathers - the breasts take on enviable outlines and shapes. Although there is a nuance, they say that when a girl is born, the left breast of a pregnant woman is slightly larger than the right. Actually, the entire left side of the mother begins to predominate, however, more on this a little later.

· Toxicosis as a sign during pregnancy with a girl

The presence of toxicosis itself does not depend in any way on the gender of the child, but its duration can help determine whether a boy or a girl will be born soon.
It is believed that toxicosis is longer lasting and debilitating and is typical when there is a girl; signs of pregnancy such as poor health and nausea often accompany the mother throughout the pregnancy. In this regard, waiting for a boy is much easier. Gastronomic preferences and gender of the child

Mothers of future heiresses who want and can eat, given morning sickness and the notorious early toxicosis, demonstrate great pickiness. Quite clearly, mommy may have a passion for sweets, fruits, and especially citrus fruits and orange juice. They say that if a girl is expected, then the pregnant woman indulges in sweets and ice cream, and if it is a boy, on the contrary, they prefer meat and salty foods. Some expectant mothers of sons are even drawn to beer and wine, which, of course, are prohibited in this situation. It was noticed that women carrying daughters do not eat bread crust, eat meat without much pleasure, and in general they do not have a constant feeling of hunger, like mothers of boys.

During pregnancy with a girl, the shape of the abdomen, as a rule, is blunt-nosed, the mother has practically no waist, and the fact that she is pregnant is clearly visible from the back. If you believe in omens, then during pregnancy with a girl, the baby is hidden by a rounded, large, high-positioned belly resembling a melon, which “blurs” to the sides. He moves forward smoothly, harmoniously, trying to merge with the whole body into one contour.

However, sometimes it is difficult to determine correctly what shape the belly has during pregnancy, pointed-nosed or blunt-nosed, since each woman has her own muscle corset, and, consequently, the growing belly during pregnancy, a girl or a boy - it doesn’t matter, develops differently. Moreover, during pregnancy with a girl, the belly often protrudes significantly forward, but its shape still remains blunt-nosed.

And recently, scientists have concluded that daughters are born more often to thin women, and this pattern is explained by the fact that a female fetus is more resistant to unfavorable conditions, including the insufficient weight of the expectant mother.

· Future daughter's behavior

When the baby is a girl, signs of pregnancy can be seen even in the way the baby moves and the heartbeat. If a baby lives in the mother's tummy, then she spends most of the time on the left side of the body, pushing the mother into the liver. In addition, the girl’s heart beats about 140 beats per minute or more.

· When it's a girl, she "pulls to the left"

Interesting conclusions can be drawn by conducting a series of tests to identify the “leading side” of a woman. To find out whether a boy or a girl will be born, you need to observe yourself: during pregnancy, the left side is the leading one - the expectant mother takes objects with her left hand, steps forward with her left foot, and so on.

Folk signs during pregnancy with a girl suggest several simple tests:

— When going up the stairs, which foot do you put on first?

— On which side do you prefer to lie and sleep?

— When rising from the floor, which hand do you lean on?

If the answer is left, then there will be a daughter. Another way to tell if you're a boy or a girl is to show your arms by simply holding them out in front of you. How did you do it, palms up? So it will be a girl.

· How to recognize a boy or a girl by
their mood
Women are always credited with some spontaneity in their actions and illogicality in their thinking. This is probably why the signs of pregnancy with a girl include some unpredictability and eccentricity of a woman. Those around her do not need to try to understand her, much less get angry because of her whims. Mommy herself is not happy about her own bad mood, and she herself cannot understand why everything irritates her so much!

In addition, women pregnant with girls are accused of inattention, confusion, disorganization, and disorder. They say that it is better not to entrust them with any important matters and not to set difficult tasks for them. A pleasant bonus is that, unlike pregnant boys , they rarely have headaches. But the annoying minus is not the desire for sex and passivity in general in everything.

Another fun fact: there are scientists who claim that the sex of the child is influenced by the stress endured by the parents on the eve of conception - this, they say, leads to pregnancy with a daughter.

Feminine flair

Finally, trust the main female trump card - intuition. A pregnant woman's intuition works twice as strong, which means you will feel the gender of the baby. This knowledge will come to you, and you will not guess, you will know exactly. Where? This is unknown even to the women themselves.

So, what are the signs of pregnancy with a girl? Verified - only ultrasound and not earlier than the third month. Folk signs will help only partly and you shouldn’t rely on them as an unshakable rule. But your intuition, although not a scientifically proven method, will not fail if you feel your body. Take care of yourself.

Features of the belly shape

Expectant mothers and fathers usually watch with interest the growing tummy in which the little baby is developing. Many people take a photo of their wife’s pregnant girl or boy every month and then look with trepidation at the changes in their figure taking place before their eyes.

It is believed that a round belly is for a boy, a fuzzy shape and a tall belly are for a girl.

There is an opinion that when an heiress is pregnant, the belly has a vague, rounded shape that spreads across the lower back. It completely hides the waist and is clearly visible from the back. In pregnant girls, the fetus is located high and often puts pressure on the digestive system, which causes frequent nausea and, in later stages, heartburn.
