Why Does My Belly Look Pregnant but I’m Not Expecting?

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

If a girl/woman has a belly that looks like she's 6 months pregnant but doesn't deliver a baby within the following 11 months, can we say that she wasn't pregnant? Could the cause of her big belly be something else, like belly fat or belly distention?

 

Answered by Dr. Mini Sood

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Yes, it is important to get checked out by a healthcare professional to determine the cause of the abdominal distension. It could be related to obesity or other conditions such as bloating, gastrointestinal issues, or hormonal imbalances. A thorough examination and possibly some tests will help identify the cause and guide the appropriate treatment.

 

Thanks
