Why is my belly too small at 17 weeks?

Patient's Query

I have too small belly in 17 week of pregnancy

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Toward the middle of the pregnancy, a smaller belly at 17 weeks might trouble you. If a belly is small, it can be because of the baby’s position, the way your body is holding the baby, or many other reasons. In the majority of cases, it's not a big deal when your health conditions are within normal limits. Continue to eat well and go to all of your pregnancy medical check-ins to ensure that you and your baby are healthy.

Common symptoms accompanying this might include breast tenderness or mood swings. If your flow does not begin soon, consider taking a pregnancy test if applicable.

Female | 22

You are experiencing a condition known as vaginal fissures. These are small rips that may occur from activities done in the past such as masturbation. Even if you are done, they can heal slowly. The symptoms are discomfort during coitus. The best approach is to maintain cleanliness in the area and apply a water-based lubricant during intercourse. In that case, visiting your gynecologist would be the best idea.

Im pregnant and in thirdsemester. I have pain under my stomach. No medical. I can feel something pushing down.

Female | 30

Experiencing discomfort in your lower abdomen during late pregnancy can be quite common. As your body adjusts and the baby grows, you may feel pressure from the baby’s position or your uterus expanding. These sensations may also arise from ligament stretching. It's important to monitor your symptoms and ensure you're resting adequately. Staying hydrated and practicing gentle movement can help relieve some discomfort. However, since every pregnancy is unique, I recommend consulting with your gynecologist for personalized guidance and reassurance.

My vagina got to much dry during intercousre.. due to thjs dryness we both feel pain or swelling and friction in any style

Female | 31

Experiencing discomfort during intimacy can be concerning. This issue might stem from various factors such as hormonal changes, dehydration, or insufficient foreplay. These can result in dryness, leading to pain or swelling during activity. To alleviate these symptoms, consider using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. Staying well-hydrated and engaging in adequate foreplay can also help. If the discomfort persists, it's important to consult a gynecologist for tailored advice and to rule out any underlying conditions.

Female | 17

This can be caused by factors like stress, body weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or even pregnancy. Keeping in the know means it is best to keep track of other symptoms, like, if you have been feeling weak or your breasts are tender whether they are or are not is a good thing to know. If you are worried, you should test and talk to your gynecologist.

Your periods are coming for two months, yet you worry about pregnancy - which can occur due to hormonal imbalances.

I’ve been on desogestrel rowex pill for the last two months I haven’t got my period for two months I’m not pregnant because I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it’s negative

Female | 34

Missing periods may happen when taking desogestrel rowex pills. It is a common side effect. Some people don't bleed at all. There's no need to worry, it's not harmful. Your body just changes a bit. If concerned, talk to your gynecologist.

Female | 20

Late in the occurrence of your period after unprotected sex, it is common to be anxious. In the case of a delay that the period doesn't come, it could be that a person is under stress, hormonal changes happen, or even pregnancy. Pregnancy signs include missed periods, vomiting, breast tenderness, and tiredness. A home pregnancy test can show you if you're pregnant.

Morning my name is Gesina i am 59 years old i stop menstrual for 15 years and suddenly start this morning

Female | 59

It's understandable to feel concerned about unexpected bleeding after such a long time. This could be due to hormonal changes, benign growths, or other conditions. Symptoms may include light to heavy bleeding and occasional discomfort. It's essential to keep track of any additional changes you notice. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss your symptoms in detail and undergo any necessary evaluations.

I am a 24 year old female with no known health defects that I know of. Occasionally I suffer from a severe lower stomach cramp followed by severe constipation, followed by severe nausea (with throw up). One of these episodes lead me to faint. This normally happens when I'm on my period, and sometimes they don't. I am roughly 165 LBS and I'm 5'3. My diet isn't the best but it's not too shitty.

Female | 24

You look like you might be afflicted with a serious case of menstrual cycle cramps that can, in some cases, lead to constipation and nausea. Stress, as well as physical pain, can lead to a fainting spell. This pain, as well as stress, can't be relieved by following these symptoms. The symptoms can be reduced by keeping your body hydrated, eating food high in fiber, and using pain relievers similar to ibuprofen. What you want to do on your end is to get a proper consultation with the gynecologist to learn about alternative reasons and treatments.

Hi sir/madam this is Shwetha, 1 month back miscarriage happened doctor advised me to be in family planning for 6months but today unprotectedly intimated so should I take i-pill tablet and if I get pregnant any risks are there

Female | 30

A miscarriage only a month ago, and doctors telling you to wait six months before trying again - that's tough. But then you had unprotected sex today. Taking emergency contraception like the i-pill can help avoid pregnancy. It's not a guarantee though. If you do end up pregnant, definitely talk to a gynecologist. They can advise what's safest after the miscarriage.

Car window slowly touch with belly during 2nd trimester of pregnancy. It's safe or not?

Female | 38

A lightly touching car window to your belly is usually safe in the second trimester. It may cause slight discomfort or worry but is unlikely to harm the baby. Relax and monitor any pain, bleeding, or unusual feelings. If experiencing these, contact your gynecologist. In most cases, everything is okay.

Female | 36

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these symptoms. Severe abdominal pain, nausea, and issues with urination can arise from various conditions, including ovarian cysts, hormonal imbalances, or infections. While enlarged ovaries may seem concerning, many cysts are benign. However, considering your symptoms and the abnormal findings, it's crucial to consult a gynecologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment. They may recommend further imaging, blood tests, or other evaluations to determine the cause and necessary steps.

if i had unprotected sex over 48 hours ago but missed my mini pill today shoukd i take emergency contraception

Female | 19

Not taking one mini-pill and having unprotected sex may greatly increase the chance of getting pregnant. Within 48 hours is the best time to use emergency contraception. Emergency contraception acts by stopping or delaying ovulation in the body. If you're uncertain about pregnancy, taking emergency contraception would be the best way to lower the chances.

I recently had sex 6 days before my ovulating day, a day before my fertile window. I took a take action pill the day after having sex the earliest i could. I took it at about 9 A.M. fast forward the day after ovulation, I got up and woke up like normal and once I stood up I had dark-red kind of watery blood. At first i thought it was my period, but its watery and my periods are usually thicker and last about 5-7 days. I am still lightly bleeding now, still a dark-red watery-like blood the day after and im wondering if im pregnant or if im just paranoid. I also had cramping, like i usuallt do on my periods. I searched it up and it also said i could just be on my period, and because of the pill, it makes your period lighter/thicker, shorter, etc. Please help.

Female | 16

Emergency contraceptive pills, like the one you took.. can cause changes in the menstrual cycle including lighter or irregular bleeding. The bleeding you are experiencing could be due to the pill or your regular period. It's important to take a pregnancy test if you have concerns about pregnancy.

MISSING PERIOD followed by BLEEDING can have multiple causes.. IMPLANTATION BLEEDING occurs before a MISSED PERIOD.. NEGATIVE PREGNANCY TEST indicates it may not be IMPLANTATION BLEEDING.. Consult a DOCTOR for further evaluation of the CAUSE.
