Dear Dr

Iam 16 weeks pregnant and my tummy shows already and my mother inlaw said that my tummy is to low is it something that I have to worry about

Thanks
Natasja

Unless your mother in law is a physician I'd ignore her.

"We" can't see you so "we" don't know if you are too low or not.

This sounds like an old wives tale, anyway.

Can I send you a photo that you can see.

"Too low" meaning what? (I won't tell you the old wives' tales my mil filled me in on when I was pregnant... )

Let me put it this way. You should be seeing your OB/GYN regularly at this point. So you ask at your next visit. I don't think it worth a special visit, but can wait for the next one.

It looks normal to me. Every woman holds differently depending on their body. I wouldn't worry about it but you can always ask at your next appointment.

Every woman carries differently, every pregnancy is different. Looks pretty normal to me, and I'm an OB nurse.
