...Another why the 15 weeks pregnant belly looks larger is because there is bloating that is caused due to gas formation.

The 15 weeks pregnant belly size differs from woman to woman, but the belly appears very bloated. Logically speaking, if the woman is having twins, her tummy looks a lot bigger than a mom bearing one child. The woman’s uterus begins to bloat upwards and rises even past the hipbones. Most often the doctor or gynecologist can actually feel the uterus a few inches below the uterus. In the later weeks regular measurements of the uterus especially the “fundal height” will be checked to determine the due-date of delivery.

15 weeks pregnant weight gain is also quite rapid. Ideally the expectant mother should be gaining around 2 kilos a month. Weight gain can be supervised at home. On an average starting from this week the woman ideally needs to gain a kilo and half to two kilos per month. More so, during the second trimester trips to the healthcare provider are frequent. Here, weight gain along with other conditions will be noted and supervised closely by the doctor.

15 weeks pregnant belly during first pregnancy can alarm first time mothers. However, it is normal to gain around 2 to 5 kilos of weight during the second trimester. At the same time, there is no real reason to worry if you don’t all that weight.
