Do hips expand during pregnancy?

Question

I feel like my hips have gotten wider already and im only 5 months. None of my old jeans fit. Is this normal and does it stay like this after baby? a bit worried honestly.

Yes they do, which is my perfect excuse for having those extra parathas! The body is just making a beautiful home for the baby.

Oh absolutely! My toddler is 2 now and my hips are still slightly wider than pre-pregnancy. It's amazing how our bodies adapt to give birth.

Haan behan, bilkul expand hote hain. Delivery ke liye body khud ko taiyar karti hai, isliye aisa hota hai. Chinta mat karna.

Arpitha Saraf · Answer

Yes, the body releases a hormone called relaxin which relaxes your ligaments and widens the pelvis for childbirth. It's a completely natural biological process.

They definitely do widen, so don't waste money on tight clothes. Buy a few comfortable, stretchy maternity pants that will last you through the pregnancy.
