Barriga de Bebê com 8 Semanas: Variação Normal e Ganho de Peso Saudável

At 8 weeks, the uterus is still pelvic (~grapefruit size); visible "bump" is uncommon.

Why Showing Varies

• Body habitus: Lower BMI → earlier show; higher BMI → later.
• Abdominal tone: Strong rectus abdominis delays protrusion.
• Uterine position: Retroverted uterus shows later.
• Bloating: Progesterone → distension mimics bump.
• Multiparity: Prior pregnancies → laxer fascia → earlier show.

Weight Gain Guidelines (IOM)

First Trimester

Only 1–4.5 lb total; no extra calories needed. Focus on folate, iron, nausea management.

Healthy Habits

• Nutrient-dense whole foods; limit ultra-processed.
• Protein each meal; omega-3 (DHA) for neurodevelopment.
• Hydration: 2.5–3 L/day.
• Activity: 150 min/week moderate (unless contraindicated).

No bump at 8 weeks is normal; each pregnancy unique.
