Im in my 5th month and my old jeans just dont fit on the hips anymore, even though baccha is still small. Is this a normal pregnancy thing ya am I just gaining weird? curious if it stays like this after also.
Yes dear, it definitely does because the pelvic bones widen to prepare for delivery, even if you have a C-section like I did. My hips felt much wider post-delivery, but with gentle postpartum exercises and time, the body slowly starts recovering. Don't worry, it's a very beautiful and natural change.
Oh god, yes! I'm in my 3rd trimester and none of my old pants even go past my thighs right now, haha. My hips have practically claimed their own pin code. But hey, it's just nature making space for the baby, so I'm just living in my husband's oversized PJs now!
Haan, hips toh bade hote hi hain baby ko jagah dene ke liye. No need to buy expensive maternity wear for this, just get some loose nighties or buy leggings one size larger from the local market. It saves money and keeps you super comfortable during these months.
Yes, it does. During my routine checkup at the hospital, I asked my physiotherapist about this pelvic widening. They explained that a hormone called relaxin loosens the ligaments, which is absolutely normal, but you can always ask your hospital team for safe prenatal stretches to ease the discomfort.
